With effect from 15th March, we can only accept tutors who are above 21 years old to register with us.
We have no choice but to implement this policy, after several complaints received for young tutors.

Juz received a 2nd complaint from a parent who has engaged a tutor from us. This is the 2nd time we received a complaint like this, after one year of operation. Please trust that we take your complaints seriously.
We can only say that, we are not in a good position to monitor tutors’ activities after the lessons have started. There may be many reasons why the tutor wants to leave, and we cannot be solely responsible for his/her action.
This explains why we do not normally recommend specific tutors to you. We provide a list of tutors we find suitable for you to choose instead.
However, here are some guidelines for you to choose a suitable home tutor:
- You may check if the tutor is heavily committed to other activities. We normally ask tutors not to take up any tuition assignments if they have a busy schedule.
- You may want to engage tutors who are more mature, 20 years old and above. These are based on our observations and feebacks. No offence or prejudice.
We take all feedbacks seriously. If your tutor has not been responsible, just let us know your situation.

For the past few months, we see an increase in demand for this category of tutor - Chinese scholars from China, studying in local universities. These shows that their teaching is effective, and students do improve.
As coordinators, we offer this suggestion to parents as an insider. They are very strong with Maths and Chinese, and able to handle secondary levels well.
If your child is struggling with Chinese in the secondary level, you may want to try out the chinese scholars. But we make no guarantee here. Whether your child can really do well in his studies still depends on many factors.
