Challenges Faced By PSLE Chinese Students
Lack of Motivation
During students’ PSLE year, the stress attributed to the upcoming PSLE Chinese examination might start to affect student’s motivation. This might particularly be the case for the Chinese language subject, especially if they are not doing well with it. Furthermore, doing well for Chinese also requires years of accumulated skills and a solid foundation. If students are lacking in any of these, it will definitely lower their motivation levels.
As such, having a PSLE Chinese Tutor will definitely come in handy, especially when the students are lacking the motivation to even keep up with the school syllabus. During the weekly Chinese Tuition, students will receive guidance from their PSLE Chinese Tutor. Tutors will also provide students with targeted help and practices to help them work on their weaknesses, instilling proper Chinese language skills which will motivate students to work harder in the language.
Unable to Understand Meaning of Words
At PSLE level, students are expected to understand large amounts of vocabulary, which are increasingly less straightforward and require greater amounts of interpretation. Some of these vocabulary might also not have direct translations to English, making it more difficult for students to understand.
With PSLE Chinese Tuition, however, students will definitely have an easier time understanding Chinese vocabulary as the PSLE Chinese Tutors will make sure that students are continuously exposed to large amounts of vocabulary, allowing them to be repeatedly exposed to these vocabulary and thereby, internalise and understand them.
Unable to Unable to Write Well
At PSLE level, writing becomes more important as students are expected to master writing in Chinese. This is a challenging aspect for many students as they are required to consolidate their skills from different sections such as their sentence structure skills, character recognition skills as well as vocabulary understanding skills.
With a good PSLE Chinese Tutor, these challenges will be greatly reduced as students will receive step-by-step guidance from their tutor on how to master the basics of writing well. Thereafter, with repeated practice every week during their PSLE Chinese Tuition, students will definitely master techniques on writing well.
Unable to Speak Well in Oral
Speaking well is also a crucial element of PSLE Chinese – one in which students usually struggle with. As most students do not speak the Chinese language at home, they are solely exposed to the language in school during their Chinese lessons. Therefore, it understandably becomes more difficult for students to learn how to speak well during lessons, during Oral examinations or in their day-to-day lives.
Hence, a PSLE Chinese Tutor is definitely a viable option as the tutors will provide targeted, small-group/one-to-one practice for the PSLE student, providing them with a safe space to practice speaking in Chinese. Additionally, the PSLE Chinese Tutors will also provide immediate feedback and periodic tips in order to help students improve.
Why You Should Engage A PSLE Chinese Tutor
1. Help Students Prepare for PSLE
The PSLE is one of the most important examinations that students have to sit for. Given the high weightage of the examination on students’ future, many students will face increased anxieties and worries as the PSLE approaches.
With a PSLE Chinese Tutor, he/she will be able to provide close guidance and support for the student. With an additional pair of hands to help, students will definitely be more at ease during their PSLE Chinese preparation, and will be more confident in tackling the examination.
2. Help Targets Students’ Weakness in Chinese
The PSLE Chinese language syllabus relies heavily on foundational skills built during the entirety of the 6 years. For students who do not have a strong foundation, they might find it increasingly difficult to do well in their examinations – resulting in increased anxieties regarding their upcoming PSLE Chinese examination.
With a PSLE Chinese Tutor, they will be able to help target the student’s weaknesses – be it writing, memory work or inference skills. With close guidance from the PSLE Chinese Tutor, any weak foundational skills will be corrected in no time, allowing them to put their best foot forth during the PSLE Chinese examination.
3. Train Students in Higher-Order Thinking Skills
At PSLE level, beyond mastering the basic Chinese language skills (such as reading, writing and speaking), it is also extremely crucial for students to have a good grasp of higher-order thinking skills such as evaluation and inference. With the tight schedules in school, teachers might not have invested enough time into such skills, hence students have to oftentimes rely on themselves or external help to hone such skills.
By engaging a PSLE Chinese Tutor, students will be provided with dedicated help and training in developing higher-order thinking skills. The weekly PSLE Chinese Tuition lessons also provides students with repeated practice, allowing them to put their skills to the test.
4. Aid Students in Clearing Misconceptions
As students progress, they might accumulate misconceptions that might not be noticed at first glance. Hence, these misconceptions will snowball and result in mistakes that might be hard to correct. At PSLE level, students might have accumulated doubts and misconceptions that might be hard to eradicate.
Therefore, it is important to engage a PSLE Chinese Tutor as he/she will provide students with the relevant feedback to help students fix their misconceptions. During the Chinese Tuition itself, tutors will also provide instantaneous feedback that can greatly help students with clearing their Chinese language misconceptions.
What To Look For in A PSLE Chinese Tutor
Academic and Teaching Qualifications
When engaging a PSLE Chinese Tutor, it is important to select one that has decent academic and teaching qualifications. For example, it might be better to pick a tutor that has graduated from a Chinese related course and has taught for a minimum of 1 year. If you are looking for a more experienced tutor to guide your child, you might also want to look out for tutors who have taught in MOE schools.
Furthermore, given how important the PSLE year is, you’d definitely not want to engage an inexperienced tutor as it will be a waste of time and money for you and your child.
Patience in Teaching
Teaching PSLE students is no easy feat as tutors have to struggle to get their attention as well as to get them to listen and pay attention. Furthermore, during the PSLE year, students might be extremely stressed out – hence, it is important to engage a PSLE Tutor that is patient enough to continuously engage the student and clear any doubts they might have.
While this might be difficult to judge or determine at first glance, it might be useful to request for a trial lesson, and through the trial lesson, you can sit in and observe how the PSLE Tutor handles the child during the entirety of the lesson.
Ability to Provide Additional Resources
It might be difficult to find good PSLE Chinese resources that will be able to help students. Hence, by choosing a PSLE Chinese Tutor that is able to provide additional resources, you can save time on hunting for resources and leave it up to your PSLE Chinese Tutor!
The ability to provide additional resources also means that the tutor has spent time and effort curating these Chinese resources – which is also a key characteristic of their experience and dedication to teaching. Hence, when searching for a PSLE Chinese Tutor, it will definitely be great to look out for tutors who are able to provide their own self-collated Chinese resources.
Ability to Help Students in PSLE
During the PSLE year, most students will be extremely stressed out with the upcoming PSLE. Hence, it is important to find a PSLE Chinese Tutor that is equipped with the relevant teaching experience and abilities to help ease students’ worries through targeted teaching techniques.
For example, it might be better to find a PSLE Chinese Tutor that has experience in helping PSLE students, or have testimonials from PSLE students who have achieved good grades in their PSLE Chinese.
