Pros
The tuition center offers a fixed place, with printer and learning materials for tutors to use. A good range of learning materials scanned from assessment books read to print anytime. The admin at Jurong West is very friendly, responsible and accountable. The admin at Bukit Batok was lagging behind in tech, getting massages and food delivered to her at work..., and the admin at Pioneer was almost no where to be seen. I guess a good thing is that you can choose how many tuition lessons to take up. The admin will contact you if you can teach such lessons and you can accept or reject it. Flexible to create your schedule.
Cons
However, the pay is low and I tutored 1-3 upper primary school kids for only around $27.5 for 1.5 hour when private tutoring can easily pay me $50-60. Not to mention that tutoring kids in groups can be disruptive. You must also pay a deposit of 20% or some sorts which will only be returned to you after 6 months to make sure that you keep tutoring there. The center seems to be focused on profit instead of quality teaching. Adding many students into group classes. Some centres like that in Pioneer which functions like a daycare + tuition centre also tend to have kids with disabilities like autism and adhd placed into lessons. It becomes really hard to handle and teach, especially for part time students who are untrained to deal with disabilities.
