POA-Tuition-Singapore

Contrary to popular belief, studying accounts isn’t just for finance executives and of course, accountants. Rather, the discipline has so many uses that it would be difficult to go through life without at least some element of the subject! 

From the early days of managing your kiddie allowance to budgeting for vacations, household, property, investments, and eventually, retirement, accounting has deep roots in all of us.

Accounting is the backbone of the business world and will set the stage for recording, analyzing, and reporting financial transactions. It is also what most of our logical decisions are based on. 

In an increasingly competitive and complex global economy, the demand for finance professionals continues to grow exponentially, creating loads of potential for profitable careers.

Why Take Principles of Accounts POA Tuition in Singapore?

The Singapore education system is a formidable one, but try as our diligent POA tutors might, it can be difficult to keep track of individual students in a classroom of 20 to 40. That’s where private POA tutors come in. Here are some other key benefits of taking POA tuition lessons in Singapore.

One-on-One Attention from a POA Tutor

One teacher to 20 to 40 students, which is the average for a secondary school or JC class, is a ratio that doesn’t suit everyone.

Some students might need a little more attention if they are lagging behind, or others might need more advanced teaching methods if they are quick learners and easily bored.

One-on-one attention in a private accounts tuition setting means that the tutor completely focuses on the development and progress of you or your child, optimising the learning curve and achieving greater results.

In a classroom environment, small mistakes and gaps in learning can easily be overlooked, and the student might have difficulty keeping up with the class and grasping more difficult concepts if the foundation isn’t there.

In a private tuition setting, feedback can be instant, and a strong foundation built before moving on.

Personalised Learning Experience and Flexible Scheduling

Just like all teachers have different teaching methods, all students also have different learning styles. Some might be visual learners that benefit from charts, balance sheets, and diagrams, while others need repetition and learn effectively by applying theory to practise. 

An experienced POA tutor is trained to identify which type of teaching style works best with an individual student and focus on a specific way of instruction.

For example, accounting tutors might apply theoretical principles to real-world examples like the financial reports of a business, or they might illustrate principles in a series of charts and diagrams. 

Secondary school and junior college can be busy times for students. We get it. That’s why our POA tutors try their best to accommodate the schedules of each individual so that you can effectively balance your in-school and out-of-school activities. 

In addition, Private Tutor SG also offers online tuition classes that can save you even more time. With the flexibility of attending classes in your own home (and in your pajamas!), you can enjoy greater freedom in how and when you learn.

Although private lessons mean more personalised attention, group classes can benefit those that do best in collaborative environments learning alongside their peers.

Monitoring and Assessment of Progress

We strongly encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s education, and provide constant communication, monitoring, and assessment of each student’s progress.

Parents can also sit in for small portions of the tuition classes to gauge how their child responds to the specific tutor’s teaching methods. 

We believe wholeheartedly in positive reinforcement, and if the student’s grades and progress are not up to par, we simply backtrack and concentrate on building a stronger foundation which will lead to better results in the future.

We find that better results typically mean more self-confidence and a greater interest in learning the subject!

Examination Preparation with Accounting Concepts Learning Materials and Resources

The most important examinations might be the ‘O’, ‘N’, and ‘A’ Levels, but there are numerous mid-year and year-end POA examinations to deal with as well.

Our students have full access to an extensive range of practice papers and mock tests, all the better to prepare for all their exams. 

As they say, practice makes perfect, and the more they see tangible results, the more students often grow in self-confidence and interest in learning! 

Sharing is caring! As just mentioned, we have an extensive range of past year exam papers and practice tests that are freely shared with all our students.

In addition, we also have top notes and study materials from the best schools all around Singapore to give each of our students that extra edge. 

Frequently asked questions

Accounts tutors are usually financial accounting graduates with a minimum of a Bachelor's in Accounting Degree. In addition, depending on the level of the student, some tutors will also have post-graduate degrees such as a Masters or a PhD.

We know that every individual has a different learning style, pace, and motivation. Our tutors will tailor a lesson plan to suit each student’s unique requirements by adjusting the pace, teaching methods, and focus to optimise their learning curve.

In addition to the books that are mandatory for the MOE syllabus, our students also have full access to our extensive range of past-year examinations, practice tests, exclusive notes, and learning materials from top schools.

Yes, there sure is! Group POA tuition classes are also available. While most students benefit from one-on-one personalised attention, some students learn best in a collaborative environment surrounded by peers.

These students will benefit greatly from a group tuition setting where they can learn and flourish alongside other students who are at a similar level.

Progress assessments are typically done every fortnight, but if a student needs extra attention, they can be done weekly.

You can speak honestly with your private POA tutor about your requirements and he or she will be happy to tailor a schedule to monitor and report on your child’s progress.

The duration of each session depends primarily on the learning capacity of each student, but they typically last between one and two hours.

Any shorter, and the session may lack depth, and any longer, all but the most dedicated students might lose focus.

Yes, it sure can! A significant part of our POA tuition program includes POA examinations prep and practice tests. We believe that practice makes perfect, and the more tests a student does, the more gaps in knowledge or mistakes are identified. 

Once those gaps are addressed accordingly, the improvement in grades can be dramatic. And once a student sees the results, their self-confidence grows exponentially, and with it, their interest in learning and love for the subject!
