tutoring woes

A friend recommended a potential stdt to me for my tutoring.

this girl went thru a diagnostic test in a tuition centre and was rejected apparently, based on standards falling behind the peers.

she asked if i would be keen to pick up the stdt.

well, my answer was nay.

i told her,"i do feel sorry for kids who are slow learners. but there's no miracle in acquiring knowledge. a lot have to be worked thru with such a stdt..and the home environment support is the most basic fundamentals!"

weekly class is definitely not enough for stdts who are weak in their understanding.

i m generally careful with picking stdts, but once i start the first lesson, it's full commitment all the way.....no turning back.

  2. well, what can weekly lesson from a tutor do to a kid who needs regular drilling?

    there are limitation, rite?

    study should be very much self-driven. look at all of us, any help from others? absolutely no.

    we solved our own problems.
