Out of the box Tuition for children
Many parents spend a lot of money to engage students for their children. They want their children to do well for the current level and score high marks. 

I suggest an approach that allows the parents to save on the tuition fees and prepare their children to cope better in their studies. 

What is this approach?

Encourage the children to do the examination papers for all subjects for the previous level year. They have already completed the previous level, so they will find it fairly easy to cope. For example, if the child is now at primary 5, they should do the examination papers for primary 4 (which they have already completed) and refresh on what they have learned.

The parents can identify the mistakes that the children have made, and explain these mistakes. Alternatively, the parents can engage a tutor to explain the mistakes to the children. 

It is also possible that the children can learn from their mistakes on their own, and may not need a tutor or their parent to guide them.

Where do the parents get the examination papers for the previous school year? 

There are shops selling the examination papers from several top schools in Singapore. They can be bought for a few tens of dollars. It is a small sum compared to tuition fees.

There is also a website that allows the soft copy to be downloaded for free. It is available at https://sgfreepapers.com.

I am developing a platform that contains these examination papers and allows automatic marking of the results. The student and parents can also keep track of the results. The private tutors can also use this platform.

The students can also do the examination papers for the current level. However, this should be done towards the end of each semester, after the student has learned the topics in school.

Do you think that my approach is a good one?
