4 approaches by moms

Academic Tuition45% moms chose this path

Sending kids to tuition centres for core subjects like Maths and languages.

Suits parents who want structured help to keep up with the demanding local syllabus. Kids usually attend classes twice a week, which improves grades but eats into free time.

Liyana Z.. · Working mom · 8-year-old

Sent my son for SJKC Mandarin tuition because we don't speak it at home. It is expensive, but he finally passed his mid-terms.

Daycare Transit25% moms chose this path

Enrolling children in after-school care where teachers supervise homework and daily revision.

Suits dual-income families who cannot supervise afternoon study sessions themselves. The centre ensures homework is completed before you pick them up, saving evening battles.

Hui Ping T.. · Working mom · 7-year-old

The transit centre handles all his SK homework and spelling practice before I finish work. Evenings are finally stress-free and just for family time.

Parent-led Revision15% moms chose this path

Buying syllabus-aligned workbooks from Popular bookstore to practice together at home.

Suits value-conscious Moms or SAHMs who prefer hands-on involvement in their child's academic progress. It requires immense patience and consistency, but saves thousands in tuition fees.

Rosnah M.. · SAHM · 10-year-old

I buy the Sasbadi workbooks and mark them myself every weekend. It takes a lot of discipline, but I know exactly where she struggles.

Holistic Enrichment5% moms chose this path

Prioritising non-academic classes like swimming, coding, or music over standard school subjects.

Suits parents who believe the local school system is already rigorous enough academically. Kids build confidence and soft skills, though school grades might remain average.

Saraswathy K.. · Experienced mom · 12-year-old

We skipped tuition entirely and chose Taekwondo and robotics instead. His maths is just average, but his confidence and problem-solving skills have improved massively.

Expert guidance

Balancing academic demands with a child's need for rest impacts their overall wellbeing.
