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.

Having grown up children and looking back, I would not worry about them not doing well when a young age. One of mine was not good at memorising as she suffered from mild ADHD. Her grades were never fantastic. I realise it at that time as 2 of my other sister's children had it. She is now 29( married with no kids) and with our CPF withdrawal, we encouraged her to study for her degree. In the past one year, she has scored nothing but higher distinctions. We put it to her being more matured, wanting a good life for her children if she was to have any and practical experience by working for a few years.
