Singapore is known to have a challenging and rigorous education syllabus. Some students find it tough to keep up with the pace of learning, which shows in their grades and morale in school.

Students may require external help to understand better the things they are being taught in school. Tutors can help in doing precisely that. Some parents are uncertain when their kids require tutoring. Hence, this article will discuss tell-tale signs that suggest your kids need tutoring. 

Consistent bad grades 

One of the most demoralising things a student can face is constant bad grades. After every test, scoring with grades below their expectations could lead to a problematic pit to climb out of. While you may assume that they did not study hard enough, at times this may not be the case.

For example, your kids may not have received enough attention to understand what is being taught. After all, class sizes in school are enormous, and the teacher will not have time to teach them one-on-one or accommodate to all of their learning needs.

The teaching may be too fast-paced, which leaves them to fall behind. If your kids bring home their test papers with consistently bad grades despite their best efforts, it may be time to seek a tutor.

Lacking the discipline to study

Self-study is vital to doing well in school. It might be challenging for your child to be self-disciplined to study on his own, with the myriad of distractions that surround him. Peer pressure to part take in social activities, endless online content about virtually any topic and video games are just the tip of the distraction iceberg that inhibits your child’s ability to self-study.

Without the extra revision at home, your child might not be able to absorb what they learn in school thoroughly. A student should revise at least once a day to understand and be familiarised with the concepts being taught.

Constantly enquiring about the subject matter

On the surface, questions seem like a good thing, because it would allow you to know which areas they need clarification, so you can focus on the specific topics to guide them. It may even be encouraged by parents and teachers.

If your kids are asking many questions, it may signify that they require more attention to help them understand the materials better. Having a tutor with them could prove helpful as they can ask away their questions and have the tutor cater to their understanding.
