Include more omega fatty acid like fish, egg etc in your diet as they are best for brain function and fights  depression.

The Effective Way To Study

Study is sometime interesting and sometime boring. There is reason for this; we can make study interesting, which will be good for the student. There are many ways to make study interesting and there are many things that makes study boring. But we don’t want boring study. So, we want to find out what need to be done for this.

First of all, student need to prepare for the study:

Manage your time: It is good idea to make schedule and arrange time for each subject. This will make easy and comfortable. It will help you to go through the schedule.

Place yourself: You should place yourself for study; other cannot study for you. You should maintain your speed of reading. Some students are naturally speed reading while some are not. Thus, I advise to find the speed reading technique. This will help to progress a lot in your study. You can take home tuition for this. Many home tuition institutions are available across Singapore. And House tutor is one of the popular one.

Get enough sleep: It is said that, one who didn’t sleep one night, he/she got disturbed for up to 4 days. The sleeping hours depends according to the age. The children need more sleeping hours while 7-9 hours is good for adult in 24 hours. If you feel desperately sleepy, take a short nap, but not more than 30 minutes and after you woke up, do some physical activities before you start your study.

Keep away from the electronic devices: Electronics devices like mobiles, tablets disturb while you are studying. So, it is good to be away from electronics devices while you're studying.

To make your study effective you need to set up Study Space:

Find a good study spot: You should not choose the place to study that is too comfortable that you fall asleep. The bed is not the best place to study.

Background music: It is good to listen to instrumental music while studying. The instrumental music does not have any word or any movie trace. So, it does not affect your concentration. Some like background sound like rains, waterfalls, thunder and jungle sounds.

Keep the television off: The television really distracts; you cannot focus on your study.

Finally, you should follow these techniques for effective study:

Survey and question about the subject you are going to study.

Use strategy of study like studying title, heading, first sentence of each paragraph, visualization and vocabulary, end summary and end questions.

Listening and note taking is important thing in learning and study. Students should have a note writing pad always with them. No one can remember everything they listened for all time. After a sometime, this is human nature to forget the thing. If the listening thing is noted on your notepad, you can look it back when it is necessary. Here are some advices for the Listening and Notetaking:

• Find out how you will be evaluated on the material from tutors.
• Be prepared before the class, do research, look the chapters for that day and bring the material that you need in the class.
• Don’t hesitate to ask your tutor if you do not understand in the class. If you are in home, write down the question and ask your tutor next time when you see him/her. Good tutor never mind, they are always happy to answer anytime.
• Turn off all your electronic gadget while you are having tuition.
• Concentrate towards tutor while tutor is teaching. Sit where you can hear and see everything you need to.
• Compare your notes with your study partner on regularly and identify what you need to add or remove.
• Review your notes on a weekly basis to prepare in advance for exams.

Textbook Reading:

Textbook is vital material for the student. This is the basis need for the student for learning according to their level. It is designed and prepared according to the student level and years. Student should read their textbook regularly. Here are few suggestions:

• Find out how you will be evaluated on your knowledge of the readings. Do you need to know the text book inside out? Or is textbook a supplement to the tutors.
• Follow the reading strategies: skimming, scanning and in-depth methods. These can be good reading strategies, depending on the courses.
• Find a quiet and comfortable place to read so that you can understand what you are reading.

Exam are the final test for your progress in your study. The student who is prepared always score the best in exam. Exam is the test of student performance in his/her classroom. It is also depended upon the good tutors. If the tutor is good, the performance is good as well. So, I always advise you to choose best tutor if you are taking tuition to improve your study. I have few more advices for exam preparation:

• Locate the best place for study where is quiet and comfortable to study.
• Review the notes from tutors and the notes prepared by yourself.
• Practice questions based on old exams, especially maths. Lean by doing. For non-maths subjects, prepare your own answers.
• Study with a group if that work for you, but choose the study partner that is good for both in term of knowledge and commitment to the course.
• During exam, focus on what you do know rather than what you wish you had more time studying. Take a long breathe in a certain interval. It helps you relax.

Singapore's Tuition Landscape

Singapore education system has been developed and greatly refined by the pool of educators anchoring the ever changing landscape. 
The system is very robust and ensure students are given the best opportunity to excel in their strengths! 
Time commitment is a mandatory requirement on the students’ part and if the child is unable to catch up in sufficient time, he or she will get left behind.
Over the years, from the changes, tuition, has changed from a want to a need in every households in Singapore.

All our children have different abilities and processing time. We need to provide our children with the right supplement to ensure that they are learning at the maximum potential rate.
Finding the right and suitable tutor is essential for this. Hiring a tutor depends on many factors:
1) Budget – We need to be realistic as we have our finances to manage but we also need to provide our best possible.
2) Proximity – Best situation is to have the tutor come to your house to save on your time. Why do you want to pay more and spend more time to bring your child to a different venue?
3) Suitable tutor – You need to hire a tutor who is able to help your child at their level. E.g. hiring a MOE teacher with vast number of experience to teach your child basic mathematics might cause a burn in your pocket. It is important to find the suitable tutor to teach your child at his or her competency level and change the tutor when necessary to improve the competency.
4) Communication – This is the most important point in hiring a tutor. It is very important to communicate with the tutor prior to hiring the tutor. This will give you an understanding of the tutor’s competency and how the tutor (strategies) will be able to help your child.
Currently all tuition agencies in Singapore do not allow the parent to communicate with the tutor prior to engagement due to security reasons. And most of the time the tutor is chosen by the coordinator rather than the parent themselves. Do you think a coordinator will know the needs of your child?
House Tutor, is the first and only platform in Singapore to allow both parents and tutors to chat on our site. Direct communication is established between parent and the tutor so that they can converse to understand about each other and how the child can benefit.
Come and join us at www.housetutor.com.sg and go through our pool of tutors to find yourself the tutor of your choice.

The common problem faced by many parents

House Tutor – We bring tuition to your home.

The common problem faced by many parents:
Hired many tutors for your child and found that none of them worked out? 
There is a simple reason why this happens. It is simply because you did not choose the tutor. 
Yes, every single time you put in a request for a tutor, a tuition coordinator will pick up the assignment and find a tutor for you upon your request.
