Before I
continued with my childhood experience on after-school tutoring classes, here’s my top
secret embarrassing confession: I always brought home monthly bad report cards when
I was in my elementary school and my Dad was always furious looking at my
school report cards. Back then, I did not know the art of studying for tests or exams
at home. I just did not know! My report
cards tended to be on ‘fire’ (more red marks than blue marks) and I was always
terrified to go home and see my Dad whenever the report card was distributed. My
teachers often called my Dad to school to personally discuss my academic performance and
this indeed made him really embarrassed too. Now you know why my parents had to put
me in after-school tutoring classes, right?
Anyway, my
parents changed private tutors for me countless times. Sometimes there were tutors
coming to our house to give me extra lessons or help me cope with my homework.
Most of the times, my Dad, riding his motor bike, had to send me to the tutor’s house which was quite a
distance from our home – rain or shine. Finding the right
tutors for me was not that simple - sometimes the tutors were fully booked, too
expensive or their houses were just too far from where we lived! In short, surviving in a top private
school Indonesia is not an easy business for both kids and parents. Everything
was about grades and academic ranking by the end every school term. But hey, my academic life got better and
brighter as I entered Junior high school; I did very well in school and was
always in the Top 10 student list until my university years. And yes, you are now reading a scholar’s writing. *wink-wink*
Moving on,
after spending more than 2 years in Malaysia, I noticed the same pattern
between after-school tutoring programs in Indonesia and Malaysia. Children in primary school
in Malaysia are, too, already bound to spend more hours in after-school tutoring classes
every day to make sure that they cope well in their school. I bet they'd still have to do this for the next 10-11 years or so. My nephew and niece
who are now in Primary 2 take extra lessons in after-school tutoring classes, from general academic lessons to art class. On weekends, one of them has to take extra lessons
in Olympic Mathematics which honestly, I have no idea what it’s all about as
compared to the common mathematics. Another instance, my neighbour’s kid who's just entered primary
school earlier this year is sent to Mandarin classes every day after school
because his family doesn't speak Mandarin at home and the parents want to make sure that
the boy can survive in his Chinese primary school. Guess what, their parents
have to take trouble in sending these kids to the tutors’ houses or tutoring venues every day and
it’s not that easy to find good tutors for them either.
Recently, I
came across a website called HomeTuitionJob where parents and students can find good quality home tutors. Say good bye to all the pains in finding private tutors for your
kids and all the troubles in being stuck in traffic jam when sending your kids to

I am totally agreed with your after schooling there must be some tuition classes because kids are not easily learned by their mothers so that there must be some tutors for them to teach their school work regularly.
