Dear tuition related business owners,

Thanks for contacting us. However, it seems that we have been rejecting business proposals. Our current priority is to assist parents to find suitable tutors for their kids. Do pardon us if we are unable to attend to you.

We are pleased to hear innovative ideas that can benefit parents, students and our home tutors. However, there are many proposals that decent tuition agencies would probably not bother. We do not want to waste any second on them.

Our tuition agency does not share or sell our database. Our clients and tutors approach us because they trust us. We work with clear self conscience and this is why clients return to us and tutors stay with us. Serious tutors are likely to turn down the offer from unknown tuition agencies and thus it is pretty useless to purchase any database from anywhere. We would advise business owners to work decently step-by-step to build the trust of their own tutors.

We wish all the best to everyone.

Our tuition agency has reached the count of 7000 approved home tutors at the beginning of this week. This excludes the number of tutors whose accounts are currently being held up due to problems with their particulars provided during registration and those who are already being blacklisted by us.

We would like to thank everyone for trusting us.

As our tuition agency grows, we are also facing greater challenges on the administration side. The number of documents submitted for verification increase as the new and earlier registered tutors send them over. We receive enquiries everyday from tutors and parents, and also companies that wish to link up with us – most of the answers to the enquiries are inside our FAQ or Service Agreement pages though.

There are often too many enquiries, which are beyond the number that we can handle. Therefore, we have to practice favouritism towards parents and tutors who are sincere. Helping parents and tutors is our main objective.

We hope everyone would understand that we have a limit to what we can do, as mush as we love to help everyone.

Recently, we have a few friends who have volunteered to join our team. Since we know them by real person, we can proudly say that they are very nice people who will certainly do their best to help everyone. Of course, since they are new, we would appreciate your kind understanding and forgiven if they have made any mistake. We have in fact quite a number of rules and procedures to follow and it will definitely take them quite some time to get used to the job.

Due to tight schedule, we are unable to update our new coordinators’ profiles on the about us page at this point of time. In fact, we have yet to introduce most of our existing coordinators to everyone. We have to prioritize on our tasks.

We are constantly looking out for new tuition coordinators due to the demand for our services. Some coordinators do become inactive due to personal commitments at times and we are gratified by every second of their great effort spent in helping everyone and our tuition agency.

Since last year, we have created a new career page for all interested friends who would love to join our team, which we have not blogged about it due to time constraint. We have just updated the page with more information and you may like to take a look at it if you are curious.

We are proud to announce that we have reached the count of more than 1000 subscribers for our tuition assignments daily updates since a couple of days ago.

Many tutors are probably unaware of the free updating service, while others are solely counting on our coordinators to contact them whenever there is a match.

We would like to remind that anyone is free to subscribe and unsubscribe for the updates at any point of time. If you have signed up for it but are currently not taking up any tuition assignment, you may unsubscribe it. There is a link at the bottom of each email to do it. You can sign up for the updates again when you are ready to take up new tuition assignments.

Our advice for you is to leave the subscription alone since you will receive at most one email summary per day. You can also set a filter to direct the email into a separated folder or label.

Unlike the tuition assignments daily updates, if you have signed up as a tutor and wanted us to remove your account, we are not able to restore your profile or allow you to register as a tutor again. Our team goes through every tutor’s profile manually after he/she signs up or makes changes and therefore, we do not tolerate indecisive tutors who create unnecessary workload.

Our tuition agency‘s priority is always on parents and tutors who appreciate us and make our lives easier. There are many promising and sincere tutors with good faiths and we have to be fair to them.

Dear all,

You are probably aware that our tuition agency is committed to contributing to the society. We have so far created numerous free tools and articles for web surfers on our website.

This is a business and businesses are out for profit, but we run ours honestly and with clear self-conscience. What makes our tuition agency different from others is that we run it like our baby and it is a starting platform towards one of our goals – charity work. This is quite a big dream and we have to continue to learn and stabilize the entire system before taking a bigger step.

We will work on more freebies on our website whenever possible, which is more doable at the moment.

Our latest project is to collect school exam papers for parents and students to download for free. If you have them in soft copy, do email us. The effort from you can actually benefit many people.

Early in last Saturday morning, we had pushed some changes to live. Tutors should now experience a cleaner interface after logging into their accounts.

We have mainly separated the features into different pages instead of crowding all of them inside “edit profile” previously.

The default landing page after logging in is the status page. We have touched up a bit on the section and statuses should be clearer with some guidelines. Tutors can also update their availability and public listing there, which some may have missed out in the past when they were placed together with the main profile editing section.

These are  just minor changes compared to others, but definitely more visible. If you have encountered any bug, kindly contact us.

There are still many things to be done. We shall not announce the list because we do not wish to over-promise our tutors.

We hope all the 2011 GCE ‘A’ level candidates have gotten the results that they have aimed for.

During result releasing periods for examinations such as PSLE, GCE ‘N’ level, GCE ‘O’ level and GCE ‘A’ level, we are always excited because we have tutors and students waiting to collect their results.

Some parents focus a lot on the results of the tutors and obtaining better grades means a higher chance of securing tuition assignments. However, our team also emphasize on the attitude of our home tutors. It does not mean that a person who can score well in the examinations must definitely possess the skill to impart his knowledge to others. Generally, a person who has passion in what he is doing will excel better than others and attitude makes a big difference as well.

The results of the students are testimonials to our tutors. However, we cannot judge purely based on the final results since different students have different levels of learning ability. Some students are pure lazy while others have not found their interest in the subjects or they are late boomers. Generally, students should improve after having tuition.

It is also a relief for our tuition agency on the administration side once tutors have collected their result slips. Generally, we would expect to look at the final official certificate or transcript in order to confirm that the tutor has attained the qualification. Some tutors do not understand our stand on the document verification, which have created extra work for us to do the explanation, and for a couple of times, tutors do get frustrated that we insist not to update their qualification. This is also why quite a number of tutors have indicated that they have attained the qualification of ‘A’ level while we have only updated their qualification verification status to ‘O’ level since they are only able to produce their ‘O’ level transcripts.

There are, in fact, many information that we have to add and improve on the website. We hope everyone would pardon us if we have not done well enough. If you have any suggestion or feedback, do contact us.

Tutors who have collected their GCE ‘A’ level result slips are highly advised to update their profiles and submit the result slips to us for verification.

Singapore GCE ‘A’ level results 2012 will be released on Friday, 2 March 2012.

‘A’ level candidates who have taken their examination in year 2011 will be able to collect their result slips from their respective schools at 2.30pm.

Private candidates can obtain their results from the SEAB website.

Registered tutors are reminded to update their qualification in their profiles and submit their result slips to us for verification.

For other Singapore result release dates, you may visit PSLE, GCE ‘N’, GCE ‘O’, GCE ‘A’ Level Results Release Dates page on our tuition agency‘s main site.

This is a quick update.

We have reached the count of 6000 approved tutors! Thank you for trusting us!

We also want to show our appreciation for those tutors who have submitted their documents properly to our tuition agency, which has really helped to smoothen the document verification process.

Thank you all of you!

Some home tutors have asked us this question: When will I be assigned to a tuition assignment?

We are regret to inform every tutor that we have our limitation, similar to most or almost all the tuition agencies in Singapore. There are too many tutors compared to tuition assignments, and thus, we have to focus on the tuition assignments; we are unable to specifically assist a home tutor in finding tuition assignments.

On our part, we can only try to increase the chances of home tutors who are able to make themselves seem outstanding. We really appreciate tutors who can update their profiles and do the document submission properly.

We have created a platform and tutors make themselves shine.
