A mum told me this- Children in secondary school should learn to study on their own instead of going for tuition. If they have problem with any subject, they should approach their teacher or organise study groups with their classmates. This will help them learn to solve their own problems, not just in school, but in life. What do other parents think? Please share!

I think its really depends. You know your child the best. If he/she is disciplined enough to study on their own or with friends and is doing pretty well in their studies, I guess that will be the way to go. But if you know that he/she is the kind who needs coaching, then getting a tutor might not be such a bad thing. I remembered I had a very good Tutor who really helped me a lot when I was in secondary school. Good luck!
