Home Schooling

A progressive movement around the world, parents choose to educate their children at home instead of sending them to a traditional public or private school.

Examples of Home Schooling Methods:

Structured versus Unstructured Learning

Unschooling and Natural Learning

Tuition and Tuition Centers

Tutors and tutoring agencies are commercial entities. They specialize in providing academic assistance and activities to students. These exist largely to help students clarify doubts and excel at school examinations.

Tuition is a Billion Dollar Industry in Singapore. It's a controversial service, since its impact on students' futures is not immediately seen. Nevertheless, demand around the world for tutoring services is increasing increasing as many believe academic achievement is the first step towards success.
