Kids these days don't get it easy, they have to learn these advanced formulas, languages and science in a short 6-year span. PSLE home tuition is as popular as O level or A level tuition. Worried parents often study together with their children in the hope of being able to coach them along the way, sometimes to no avail as the questions are too difficult to solve. From 2021, MOE has set a new scoring system to emphasize more on individual performance than relative to their peers.

Teachers with the right qualifications and experience have the ability to spot weaknesses within a few teaching sessions. Once they understand these, tutors should devise a lesson plan accordingly to help students overcome these weaknesses. Such ability is one of the hallmarks of a great tutor.
