It is timely that we got this tutor. Husband got a new job posting and has been really busy. The last thing he wants to do when home, is to be troubled by math.
Oral is over. Compo in two weeks time followed by paper 2. Because of two days of bedtime after 11pm, my boy starts to develop flu and cough symptoms. I feel less stressful when he can come home early from school and there is no tuition in that afternoon. Like yesterday, got him to nap for 1.5hours.
Cookiepie,
Thanks. We recently engaged a tutor. She sets her own questions, so far my boy done two and both are not very challenging type. Will give her some time to identify my boy weaknesses. I topped up with paper two and she only goes through those areas that my boy does not know how to do. I am expected to mark his paper first. For time savings? She also did not go through questions that my boy didn't do because not taught in class yet. She wants him to try after school teacher teach eg questions on volume.
So I want to check how a typical lesson for math is usually carried out. She willwork aalongside with my boy to solve the questions that he is stuck. That means, in a session, probably going through 5-6paper two questions. My boy claims it is useful. She did do 2hours session although suppose to be 1.5hours. Since starting tuition this month, my boy has lesser mistakes in his math work book. He used to have careless mistakes. But I make him show the tutor what are his silly mistakes, and after two sessions, he is more conscientious in his school work.
My boy cannot break out of the 75marks zone for past year papers. Either he lost them due to 3-5question he can't do plus careless, or no time to finish the paper.
