As parents we all want what's best for our kids. We want them to excel in school,get a job and live a great life.This is why many parents are nervous about the S.E.A. exam. Many of you invest money in countless S.E.A. resources, seek out the best "lessons teachers" and tutors to help your children get into that "prestige" school. While I do agree that these things can be beneficial, as a Private Tutor with over 10 years experience with helping kids get ready for the S.E.A. exam, I believe that the number one thing you can do to help your child prepare for the S.E.A. exam is simple: prepare. Let me explain what I mean. The S.E.A. examination is written at the end of the Standard 5 period. As parents the one thing you can to do assist your child is to begin preparations as early as possible. Make sure that throughout the years they have an understanding of what is being taught. If there are problems, make sure that you get help as early as possible. Do not wait until your child reaches Standard 5 to get help. While some of you reading this may say, " well that's obvious" let me tell you that during the period January to May is exactly when some parents come pleading to me to find them a Tutor. While there have been instances where some students do see a drastic improvement, let me assure you that this is usually a stressful period for both the Tutor and the student since they are both under extreme pressure to perform. We all know that S.E.A. preparation is already a stressful time so why make an already stressful period more stressful? So parents early preparation and intervention is the key. If you want to give your child a good chance at doing well in the S.E.A. examination, the single most important thing you can do is prepare early. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to enrol them in classes in Standard 1, i'm simply saying to ensure that they have a good foundation throughout the years. Seek help early if you notice problems rather than waiting right before the exams which will simply make your child feel overwhelmed. So, as my Standard 5 teacher use to tell us, "if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail." Don't leave your child's preparation for the last minute, start early to make this journey as easy as possible.
