Home tuition

Tuition center also known as Pusat Tuisyen is a special term for private institution, it is especially abundant in Malaysia. Many school teachers earn their supplementary income through tuition centers. Some teachers 'advertise' their tuition classes and coaching those who attend their tuition classes how to spot and tackle examination questions. Some teachers could earn up to RM10,000 by giving private tuition and, because of this, were not giving their best in school.
Home tuition is merely where the tutor travels to the client's home instead of doing the lessons at the tutor's home or in a tuition centre. Any tuition agency can provide tutors who do home visits. The advantage from a client's point of view is that they do not need to travel (possibly difficult or impossible if there are younger siblings) and parents generally feel safer in their own home.
The days of tuition centers as such may be numbered as online tuition (tuition over the internet becomes more popular). Students need not travel to a center (thus saving travel costs as well as site overheads), instead taking the lessons in their own home as part of a group which only 'meets' online.
I have come to know that in most schools these days, teachers are not in their classes most of the time, and also not in their schools. At first, I thought my son was lazy, but after checking it out I found that what he says is true. I even heard from a friend that a teacher in his daughter’s school said: “After all, your parents will send you to tuition classes, I don’t have to teach you here”.
