Good Study Habits And Positive Attitude

If you are not where you want to be in life, why are you chilling so much?

On some days, we wonder why it is possible for our classmates, cousins, and friends to be doing so well in school, while it is such a struggle for us to get started on completing home, or revision to prepare for exams.

Having a good mindset can certainly contribute to the development of effective study habits and enhance your ability to learn faster.

Do be aware that no amount of motivation techniques by relatives and friends to encourage you will work if you are lazy or stubborn.

You have to set a proper goal for yourself.

FOCUS on one thing: Make studying your first priority.

Here is how a positive attitude can benefit your study habits:

  1. Motivation And Enthusiasm. A positive mindset helps cultivate interest and encouragement for learning. When you approach your studies with a positive attitude, you are more likely to be engaged, proactive, and enthusiastic about acquiring knowledge and skills
  2. Growth Mindset. Having a growth mindset means believing that intelligence and abilities can be developed through consistent effort and practice. With a growth mindset, you will see challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than as roadblocks. This attitude encourages resilience, perseverance, and a willingness to put in the necessary effort to learn and to improve
  3. Confidence And Self-Belief. A positive mindset fosters confidence and self-belief in your own abilities as a learner. When you believe in yourself and your capacity to learn, you are more likely to approach tasks with optimism, and to tackle them with greater determination
  4. Productivity And Discipline. By maintaining a positive outlook, a positive mindset can enhance your productivity and discipline. You will be able to better manage distractions, resist procrastination, and stay committed to your study schedule. You will be able to work on your tasks with a sense of purpose and determination to achieve your goals
  5. Resilience And Adaptability. You can develop resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges, when you have a positive mindset. By using a solution-oriented mindset, you will seek alternative approaches and strategies to overcome setbacks or difficulties, while you continue on your learning journey
  6. Be Consistent. Developing good study habits is a gradual process, and everyone’s learning journey is unique. Embracing a positive mindset and combining it with consistent effort, effective strategies, and a growth-oriented approach will help you cultivate productive study habits and enhance your ability to learn faster
  7. Set Specific And Realistic Goals for What You Want To Achieve Every Day. This will help you stay motivated and keep on track
  8. Create A Practical Daily Schedule, And Stick To It. This will make studying a regular part of your routine
  9. Break Each Of Your Study Sessions into shorter, manageable chunks of time. One way would be for you to study for 25 minutes, and then take a 5-minute break
  10. Eliminate Distractions When You Study. This might mean turning off your phone or finding a quieter place to study
  11. Use Positive Reinforcement to reward yourself for sticking to your study schedule. For example, you might treat yourself to a favourite healthy snack or activity after a successful study session
  12. Be Persistent. Do not give up after a day or two. Habit formation take time and effort
  13. When Studying, Be Serious, Be Disciplined, Be Motivated, And Concentrate Whole-Heartedly. Learn to focus and concentrate for at least 30 to 40 minutes at a time, and prevent your mind from wandering. Discipline is important, and you should keep practicing to perfect this
  14. Take A Short Break. In between every say 40 minutes of intensive studying, you should take at least a 5 to 10 minute break. This break is important because it allows your brain to recharge and refresh. Aside from these short breaks, you should also have longer rest periods that you spend on your hobbies, in order to have a break from the stress of having to analyze and memorize content for your exams. Reward yourself with a night or weekend off, if you have covered good ground during your study sessions
  15. Find The Most Ideal Possible Time of the morning, afternoon, or evening to study. You would know when it is ideal: when your mind is not tired, or you do not feel sleepy. Just after a heavy meal is usually not a good time to study. Instead, you should use that period of time to rest or to take a leisurely walk
  16. Sleep Well At Night, and do not think about your school work. Rest your mind completely
  17. Start “Active Studying”. This means that you do not just read the study material but instead would read, think, and note down key points with little comments of your own, and do a quick recall of what you learned – at the end of a 40 minute study session
  18. Do Not Procrastinate. You need to have some discipline. Read the notes that you had created after each of your lessons in school, as soon as you start a study session. You have to ensure that these notes are carefully read while they are still fresh in your mind, after your school teacher had taught them in the lesson early that day. Revise them, and improve on your notes if necessary, so that they make more sense to you and are easier to remember
  19. Revise early. Remember to not cram at the last moment when preparing for your tests and exams. Pace yourself with your preparation, and planning for this is needed. Your daily schedule must including getting a piece of paper and writing down all the things you had studied that day, in a summarized form. When you memorize in your mind, you can temporarily remember the information in the short term. In order to make it permanent or last longer, you need to write down the information
  20. Finish The Difficult Topics First. Then move towards the easier ones. This keeps your mind constantly engaged in thinking different things
  21. Make Your Study Space Motivating. Keep positive reminders with encouraging words like “You Got This”, or any of your favourite slogans

SINGAPORE’S LEADING PRIVATE TUITION AGENCY

HOW DO I REQUEST FOR A TUTOR?

You can request for a tutor by submitting our online Request Form.

Upon receiving your request, we will Whatsapp you to discuss your child’s academic needs. We will spend the next few hours shortlisting several suitable tutors within our database and network for your consideration.

Our working hours are from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.

Tuition usually commences within one week after you have selected a tutor.

TRIAL LESSON

The paid trial lessons can be 1.5 hours or 2 hours per session.

CAN I CHANGE THE TUTOR AFTER THE TUITION BEGINS?

You just need to pay for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted. There will not be any extra charges for the change.

AM I ABLE TO VIEW THE TUTOR’S CERTIFICATES BEFORE THE FIRST LESSON?

You can request to see the hardcopies of certificates of your tutor to be presented to you during the first lesson.

The client acknowledges that it is his/her responsibility to verify the suitability, credentials and qualifications of any tutor with whom he/she engages.

HOW MUCH DO I PAY FOR YOUR TUTOR MATCHING SERVICES?

Tuition Singapore is Singapore’s leading private tuition agency and our matching service is free for students/parents requesting for tutors. This is because our agency commission is charged to the tutor, not to you.

The client will pay to Tuition Singapore half of the fees payable in the first 4 calendar weeks. This amount is the commission to Tuition Singapore for matching the tutor to the client, and will be borne by the tutor.

Thereafter, the client will pay the tuition fees directly to the tutor.

If lessons are postponed during the first two weeks, the commission payable to Tuition Singapore will be based on the tuition session conducted the subsequent week(s).

The tutor shall collect all fees due to the tutor from the parent after the two weeks. Tuition Singapore will not assist in any recovery of fees.

PAYMENT OF FEES

The client is required to pay tuition fees only for the number of hours of lessons given by the tutor.

If you decide to stop the tuition after the first lesson, you are required to pay for only that lesson.

Please transfer the fee for that lesson to Tuition Singapore and we will transfer the tutor’s fee to him/her.

Tutors are not authorized at any time to collect the payment on Tuition Singapore’s behalf.

Tuition fees are to be paid every 4 weeks to the tutor, unless otherwise agreed between the client and the tutor.

PAYMENT MODE

We will provide our bank account information for you to make payment via internet banking or ATM transfer directly to Tuition Singapore’s bank account.

If the client fails to pay us, Tuition Singapore reserves the right to terminate the Assignment. This is in fairness to the tutor, who might need to give the available slot to another client if this Assignment does not materialize.

Once the payment is received, it will be acknowledged in the form of a receipt, issued to the payer (Parent/Requestor/Guardian) via Whatsapp, sms, email or other electronic communications medium. We will also provide details of the Tuition Assignment that can include: tutor’s name, hourly fee, date of commencement of tuition, subject(s), level, duration of each lesson and frequency, etc.

FIRST LESSON

Once the client accepts the tutor’s candidacy, the client will not be able to change the schedule of the First Lesson.

Clients are allowed to make changes in the schedule after the First Lesson is over. However, Tuition Singapore hopes that this is not necessary as the tutor has already reserved that slot of time for you.

If you want to make changes in the schedule, please consult with your tutor to ask if he/she is able to change the schedule or not.

The tutor is to bring his/her identity document, academic transcripts/certificates and relevant documents for the First Lesson for verification purposes.

If the tutor is unable to conduct the First Lesson of a tuition assignment, the tutor must call Tuition Singapore at least 3 business days before the actual lesson. If the tutor fails to notify Tuition Singapore of his/her cancellation/postponement, an administrative charge of S$30 will be imposed on him/her.

If the tutor fails to contact Tuition Singapore with a valid reason to inform us about the tutor’s absence from the lesson, the tutor’s profile at Tuition Singapore may be blacklisted. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

LOCATION OF TUTORING LESSONS

Tutors will conduct lessons at the student’s residence unless otherwise specified and agreed upon by both the client and the tutor.

If the client has a request for the tuition to be conducted at another location (eg a friend’s home), Tuition Singapore will ask if the tutor is able to accommodate the request.

Tuition Singapore and the tutor will not be responsible if the given location is occupied or not available for use for the lessons and the officially scheduled timings will still be counted as a paid lesson.

TUTOR REASSIGNMENT OR CANCELLATION OF ASSIGNMENTS

There is no obligation or contract to complete a fixed number of lessons, except for the First Lesson.

If at any time the client is not satisfied with the tutor, the client may request a replacement or termination. However, the client is responsible for paying the fee for the number of lessons given prior to termination.

Tuition Singapore will discuss separately with the client and the tutor regarding future tuition arrangements, and Tuition Singapore will change the tutor for the client. There will not be any extra charges for the change and the client needs to pay just for the tuition session(s) that have been conducted.

If the client cancels a tutoring assignment before the tutor completes the agreed number of lessons for the first 4 calendar weeks, Tuition Singapore assumes full claim to 50% of the tuition fees for the total number of lessons delivered in the month. For example, if the client had requested for 8 lessons per month, but the assignment was cancelled after the 5th session, Tuition Singapore will be paid pro-rated commission for the 5 lessons conducted.

Tuition Singapore will not be liable for any payment charges or issues arising from the cancellation of tuition assignments by the client.

If the client terminates the Assignment because the tutor is often late, skips lessons without valid explanations etc, the tutor will bear Tuition Singapore’s full commission fee.

If the tutor cancels the Assignment after confirming acceptance (that is, the client’s contact information and address have been given to the tutor), the tutor will need to compensate the commission which amounts to 50% of the fees payable (as stated in the confirmation Whatsapp, sms, email or other forms of electronic communications messages) for the first 4 weeks.

If the tutor wishes to cancel a Tuition Assignment before the end of the first 4 calendar weeks, the tutor is to inform both Tuition Singapore as well as the client at least 3 days before the next lesson date. Tuition Singapore will recover our legal share of the one-time commission of 50% of the fee for the first 4 calendar weeks from the tutor. Tutors are encouraged to have a long-term commitment as the clients have vested their trust in them.

TERMINATION

The tutor will receive full or pro-rated payment for the number of lessons rendered, provided the tutor has complied with the Terms of this Agreement.

The client has the right to terminate the tuition if the tutor is unable to produce the documents certifying his/her credentials. In such cases, the tutor has to pay Tuition Singapore the amount of money equivalent to the tuition fee for the day, as commission.
