Eduforte Academy Singapore

The journey towards teaching started as early as in 2010, when the founders of Eduforte Academy started their involvement in the education industry by providing private home-based tuition classes..

Despite the surge in the demand for private tuition classes in Singapore, the employment of private educators has remained, or is on an increasing competitiveness over the years.

How did the founders of Eduforte Academy continue earning rave appraisals from both parents and students in this competitive industry then? :) From all of the conversations with parents and students, the founders of Eduforte Academy realised these common problems faced by parents and students from their tutors:

✗ The frequent change of tutors due to unsuitability / commitment issues from the tutor(s) part - Example: Tutor decided that the location was far/inconvenient, tutor was going back to school.

✗ The mundane (boring) classes where the tutor teaches and goes through notes obtainable from textbooks - Especially for elite/students who have obtained better grades in school, and finds it boring for their tutors to continue teaching them the things they have learnt in school.

✗ The numerous mistakes from assessment books and past year papers which the tutors are unable to spot and "blindly" follows - The mistakes made in the answers of these assessment books and past year papers may not be obvious (Example: In many of the solutions of the Mathematics past year school papers, some answers "seemed" right because the method "seemed" straightforward. Or the carelessness made by the publisher(s). And the tutors are unable to identify these mistakes from the answer sheets. Some times, carelessness / mistakes are unavoidable for the person who is doing the questions (such as the students who are doing the questions, or the teachers who are doing the questions themselves too.) However, it is easier for the second or third marker/observer to identify these mistakes.

✗ Not being able to explain certain Mathematics and Science concepts of the students' enquiries - Example: If photosynthesis for plants occur only in the presence of light, does it mean that the plant can still make food and grow well if I place it in my room at night and on my lights? How do plants trap the light for photosynthesis to occur? Is the light a source of food for the plants?

With the determination to minimise and rectify these problems, the founders of Eduforte Academy focused on making not only effective and efficient classes, but also fun and interactive ones!
