Why You Are Paying 70% MORE Than You Should for Your Child’s Tutoring
Have you ever wondered why your child is still getting average grades despite 6 hours and $200 worth of tutoring each week… Or why some of your child’s peers are getting straight A’s despite having no tutoring?
The truth is that most students have the innate potential to get the best grades with little or no tutoring at all. But society norms and the limitations of education provision in schools have ensured that 8 out of 10 students today receive some form of tutoring, be it in tuition centres or privately at home. Of these 8 students, evidence has shown that only 1 or 2 of them are likely to reap the real benefits of the tutoring sessions. The remaining students, unfortunately, are only able to absorb not more than 30% of what’s being taught.
As can be seen, there is a good chance that you are not getting the most out of your investment in your child’s education. Hence here’s the million dollar question: How can you help your child get the best grades with little or no tutoring at all?
First things first, studying harder to memorize things is definitely not the right method. Your child may, at best, get average grades if they try hard to memorize all the formulae, theories and problem solving techniques in the books. Memorizing information without truly understanding and owning the concepts behind the various subjects is one big impediment to academic success. Therefore, forget those expensive memory enhancement courses. Stop asking your child to simply spend more time to cramp loads of information in his or her mind. This does not allow them to learn things practically and, of course, will not guarantee them better grades in the long run.
The quickest way to getting the best grades with little or no tutoring is to become an independent and effective learner. An independent learner is one who has assumed substantial control over his or her life. This control stems from the ability to plan and achieve the results desired in one’s life, the true mastery of time and the consistent redefinition of one’s limits. With this control, your child will be able to proceed with his or her education with a whole new perspective, one which provides intrinsic motivation to ensure lasting success.
With the right attitude in place, the next essential step is to equip your child with the right tools for success. To become an effective learner, you child must learn how to adopt better learning strategies to optimize learning capacities and make the best use of his or her hard work. With a better learning approach, your child will be able to get the best grades with lesser effort and minimum tutoring. He or she will also gain more time and confidence, and as a result, enjoy better successes in school and in life.

The quickest way to getting the best grades with little or no tutoring is to become an independent and effective learner. An independent learner is one who has assumed substantial control over his or her life. This control stems from the ability to plan and achieve the results desired in one’s life, the true mastery of time and the consistent redefinition of one’s limits.

True, creating independent learners ought to be the aim of the education system. However, it's simply not easy to do so in a classroom context.
To create independent learners, one has to discover the learning style of the learner and help the learner adapt his or her learning style to the subject at hand. Therefore, schools assume a cookie-cutter learning style for all kids - what I call the 'do-as-I-tell-you' and the 'complete-the-syllabus/homework', and when the kids can do both successfully, they are deemed 'independent learners'.
Sadly, this isn't the case in real life, is it? A true independent learner has to be equipped with a variety of learning skills and given time to hone this skill through personal investigation, revision, meta-learning skills like information organising, just to name a few. Thus far, many curriculum used by homeschoolers encourage personal/independent learning, seeing as how parents are facilitators of learning rather than teacher-in-transmission.
To move away from a dependence on the teacher, start with thinking about what it is both you and your child want out of learning. Put it in stone, so that the insidious need to see that elusive distinction grades don't waver your vision.
Next, explore what your child's learning style is. There are a variety of products and vocabulary to describe thinking and learning styles. Decide on a few, and work through them so that both you and your child can communicate better about what learning is.
Teach effort. Learning isn't always fun. Like good medicine and most healthful things, it can be bitter, it can be tough and it can be frustrating. Whoever came up with the idea that learning is always fun and joy and easy makes a mockery out of the discipline of learning. However, the rewards of putting in effort is there, and it's this philosophy that has to be transmitted to kids before they can be true independent learners.
Finally, celebrate the learning. Reward the effort not with material things, but with interest and conversation. Let the learner know that once he or she has gained mastery over a topic, he or she is now at a level that can converse or flow in that area. Make the subject be alive then - if it's learning about Singapore, then a trip to the Museum, followed by talking about it at a coffeehouse; if it's a Botany, then a walk through the Bontanic Gardens with him or her as your guide. Far more than getting an iPod Touch, these rewards ties in with what the learner went through to gain mastery, and allows him or her to show the mastery gained.
In the end, when the learner gains mastery, the good grades will naturally come. It's inevitable, when the learner has gained such intrinsic mastery of the topic.
