Day In The Life Of A Private Tutor In Singapore

[@Isabella010493]

This channel is underrated. It is the best occupational insight content I've ever seen.

[@RedPotatoSingapore]

Thanks for your nice comment 🥰

[@iwanmuzaki8049]

I feel sad that such a passionate teacher is rejected by NIE solely due to the fact that she is a private degree holder. I know of people in the teaching line that are not actually passionate about teaching..so having that local degree is severely overrated.

[@yappy7788]

Yea but ultimately a private degree holder had bad grades back in her schooling days. In asian context, it either meant you're not smart enough or not hardworking enough and that's very likely to continue to adulthood. Most government agencies would rather not take the risk, no matter the passion of the applicant.

[@ColouredPixels]

@@yappy7788 that's very bold of you to say that it is "very likely" to continue to adulthood. have you not heard of late bloomers? so many things are often learned outside of school. exposure to different environment. growth leading to a change of mindset. maturity.. so many factors play a part.

[@xxy5757]

@@yappy7788 that's not true. I do private degree cause the enrolment date for gov sch is really just dumb and inflexible😑

[@jeffer8762]

that the government job mind set, its been there until now, local U, first class lagi best , get promotion every year the path has been lay sui sui for you since day one. if you from those mickey mouse degree, just hope for the best la

[@Jejdjejbfjf]

I don’t think MOE doesn’t recognise foreign degrees so there is more to this than meets the eye.

[@Momo-qo7is]

Very interesting that the tutor is wearing shorts to teach students. Very friendly atmosphere. It’s very good to make them relaxed outside school.

[@ebonyloveivory]

It doesn't matter what he/she wears tbh. As long as it is not indecent or idk pjs, it is fine.

[@withesthermin]

Enjoying how authentic and genuine these videos are!

[@weesiangtay9301]

Great content, really loving the day in the life format. Looking forward to the next video!!!

Thank you! :D

Thanks so much!!

Amazing. My mom is also a tutor for already 10 years now in Indonesia. She teaches until 7 PM and still going strong at almost 50 nowww. So somehow this hits me deeply 😅😅.

[@Minrisa07]

I'm currently an Ex-Moe teacher turned private tutor. Trust me you are not losing out and is doing a great job. I wish I've done it sooner

[@toniferrer9748]

What a great video. As a full-time private tutor in NY, I can relate and I agree as well with the parent's observation :)

[@WalkAlongSingapore]

Love the style of your videos, it feels like watching a TV show. Hopefully there are more “Day In The Life Of A…” videos to come!

[@tingfungsiew7902]

Another sick video, can't wait for the next one! Keep going, jiayou! 🥳

[@pimchanoktippayawong9441]

Hi, I'm not Singaporean but I enjoy your channel so much. I watched every Vlog and totally enjoy it!

[@sprooced345]

I miss working in Singapore. Had I known I'd be interested in making videos, I would have taken short videos in all 8 years I spent working there; enjoying good foods in hawkers and visiting tourist spots among others. :) keep making videos!

[@ellieleono9676]

Good to see a passionate tutor.I have given up corporate jobs to be a tutor and have been tutoring for over 20 years and never regret my choice.So keep it up.😀

[@fireice1234567]

One a pleasant find this channel was! You have earned a new sub. I hope to see more content!

[@user-rh1nu9co2e]

Very useful youtube channel among many. Good job and please upload more. Waiting for further videos🥰🥰🥰

[@twinklestars95]

Agree that elite schools tend to be toxic, especially on the JC level. I heard of tuition notes being stolen at another school, and my teacher told me not to share notes with students from other JC taking the same subject so that we can gain a competitive edge. P.S. I am not from the top 5 JCs (ranking for my yr)

[@NK08]

Even in secondary schools, I have heard from my Teachers that students would sometimes steal notes

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

@twinklestar95 Toxic culture didn’t start in “elite” schools. It starts the moment there is a Normal Technical stream. It should be removed.

[@miaomiao07]

In my secondary school it's a neighbourhood one, people even steal textbooks? Sometimes people write info inside textbooks as well to study mah. So we are not allowed to put textbooks under our tables that kind. Have to bring home

[@twgok3162]

[@pohchingtan5050]

Agreed that income can be unstable as freelancer full-time private tutor because I also give tuition. But this is still something good during pandemic times like now..seriously.

Underrated channel, look forward to more videos!

Still waiting for your next video release!! Thanks for vocalising my inner thoughts 😌

[@shanikadissanayake]

My saturdays are also busy as a tutor . I have 6 classes on Saturday from 7.00 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. I only have 45 minutes to rest in between . 7.00 a.m. - 9.00 a.m. 9.00 a.m.- 11.00 a.m. 11.45 - 1.45 p.m. 2.00 - 4.00 p.m. 4.15 - 6.15 p.m. 6.30 - 8.30p.m. Even though I get tired at the end of the day, I enjoy tutoring 😍😍

[@Jejdjejbfjf]

Based on the things she says I get a sense that she is more suited to a caring profession for kids, maybe not so academic as a tutor in this competitive industry. Anyway I do relate with sg’s competitive culture, tbh I think it’s good to be competitive but not to the point where people become too stressed or hurt one another, otherwise’s good so it’s not all that bad. But yes, I do agree that we should value arts more and other talents apart from engineering, science, business, etc.

[@konasleeps]

Hey this is a nice video, I enjoyed it :)

[@onyx1714]

6:22 "it's not that she doesn't want to do well, she just feels so unfair that she doesn't feel like wanting to do well." I can relate on this point. My parents are extremely controlling of me as well, have implemented screentime restrictions for the past about 7 years or so. Whenever I have bad scores or just don't act in the way they want, they resort to physical harm, and constantly talk about how much of a failure I am, how I shouldn't have been born etc. Because of this, I just have no motivation to do well at all. No matter how well I do in school, I will never be free. To give some context on my tuition background, I used to have around 12 hours of tuition every weekend. Now that I'm in JC, it's 6 hours tuition total. Edit: Regarding the last bit on voicing out. I used to have a secondary school form teacher (of 2 years) who knew of my circumstances and asked me about it. One session, she told me to write my troubles down on the piece of paper, stating that she would not let anyone else know. Lo and behold, on that same afternoon, my parents were called to the school and she showed it to them. When I got back, of course I was beaten up again. Because of this, I have trust issues with teachers who I'm not familiar with for more than a few years, I've become paranoid about sharing my issues with school teachers as well.

[@therealshard]

Damn... I hear you. That's tough. And I'm just a faceless stranger across a screen but I genuinely wish you all the best :)

[@xxy5757]

Beating up people is definitely wrong. U are a human not a dog. Take picture of your wounds and go to the police. They probably need some counselling. This is just plain fk unhealthy 🙄🤮

[@xxy5757]

And teachers always sucks I feel. They don't fking know a single thing🙄🤮

[@kelseyykl]

Hey, I know I'm 2 years late, but I just hope that I'm not too late. I'm so sorry that happened to you and I hope things are hopefully going your way ❤. No one deserves being treated like that, and I do hope life is treating you better.

"Just because you're smart doesn't mean you can teach," true that! Yeah seems like Singapore isn't fair when it comes to individual talent and strengths. All based off some fancy degree or test scores.

I've worked in govt and private sector, worked with private U grad and local U grad - seriously, being a local grad doesn't mean you are 'better'. There are so many private U grads who have a better work ethics and work quality too. just. unfortunate la. :( Jia you.
