"... my mum told me I was from gifted programme."

Kinda reminds me of the elitist guy who claims he cannot find a job:
"I forgot how many As I got, but I am pretty sure I am the best of the field"
Appalling statement that's worse than being "merely sloven" as some peeps here claimed.

$150 per term kindergarden enhancement classes I would find expensive.
$500/ 3hrs is for the rich to show off... -

What's his excuse now?
"..... my mum told me that 'NYP' is really 'NUS'......"
".... my mum told me that 'diploma' really means 'double degree'...."

Sometimes tutors with bogus credentials teach well.
Sometimes tutors with genuine credentials are bogus.

That's besides the point.

Its when they present the bogus credentials, that is the problem.
If they present nothing, say nothing of themselves, would there be a problem, if they tutor well.
Just like some parents, who can teach their children well, although what they learnt in their days are vastly different.
-
of course there would still be a problem.
it would be hiding the truth.
as opposed to twisting the truth to breaking point with outright lying.
gee, is this truth that hard to see?

Agreed totally with Fireice.

One thing I have to say is this: the onus is on parents to properly check the tutor's credentials.
My tuition agency insists that its tutors bring along all their academic certs on the very first lesson for the parents to check.
Yet of all the students I have taken on over the years, only one mother has insisted on looking at my certs. All the other parents took me at my word even after I offered to show them.
Now, I appreciate that they trust me, but they really should be more careful. The next tutor they hire whose credentials they didn't check might turn out to be another Kelvin Ong.

No.
If one reads the ST Forum, it seems that parents are more interested in going through public registration to weed out the lemons, rather than do it themselves.
