Tuition Scheme

In response to the agreement by SPARK to our idea of a tuition scheme, there was a lot for us to do before implementing this scheme. Therefore, the June Holidays was the best time for us to plan and craft out the concept of this tuition scheme. This idea can be considered to be revamped and adapted version of their primary school curriculum. Due to the change of textbooks and teaching materials, we had to look through their textbooks to understand the key concepts that they were learning. Despite the fact that ADHD is a learning disorder, it does not mean that they require special materials as such to help them learn, it is just that they need more guidance and time to grasp a particular topic as compared to a normal student. The more pertinent issue was on Science and Math whereby the textbooks were already changed since our times and hence we needed to know those topics well enough before we are “qualified” to teach and guide them. In consideration of the short attention span of these ADHD children, we decided to implement short sessions of tuition for the children so that at least during the short period of time, they are engaged and learning something from it. Besides, since it is quite impossible to keep them occupied with academic rigour for a few hours, we will bring in our “fun-filled” activities as and when we deem fit to achieve a balance of work and play. As such, there is a “win-win” situation when we incorporate fun and learning within the few hours we spend together.
