Hello, My son is studying in 9th standard now CBSE in Bangalore. He's more interested in physics and chemistry. Until now he hasn't been to any tuitions or learning centre or academy. I usually take care of his studies and sometimes he manages by himself. But now i feel i should put him to tuitions since he'll be in 10th next academic year. Don't want to put him in big academies as they can hardly give attention to each and every kid. Can you please suggest what can i choose as i'm really confused.

Ans: Noted, you do not want to put your son in Coaching Centers and your Son is much interested in Physics & Chemistry.

Please note, to get admission into any reputed college (irrespective of branches / streams), he will definitely have to appear for some Entrance Exams and to be competitive among other students he should prepare well for same and also score well in his School/Board Exams.

Besides, he should definitely have a decent knowledge / score in Maths also (if he will opt for PCM in his 11th/12th Standard instead of Biology).

Now the options / suggestions (other than joining Coaching Center Class) (1) Either from 9th Standard now or from 10th/11th Standard, he can join DLP (Distance Learning Program) with any one of the Coaching Centres, preferably ALLEN which provides detailed Materials along with the questions at the end of each chapter) (2) ALLEN also provides Online Test Series to practice for each Chapter / Unit / Full Syllabus Chapter. (3) Almost all concepts of School Syllabus are covered in Coaching Center Materials apart from other Advanced Concepts / Questions to study / practice. (4) Some of the concepts / questions might be tough for your son with his self-study or with your help for which you will have to arrange for a Home Tutor for difficult subjects like Maths. Please note, most of the experienced home tutors charge on hourly basis. You will have to plan for number of classes required in a week / month and for the subjects your son needs.

Joining a Coaching Centre Or Having a Home Tutor has its own pros and cons. Decide which will be more suitable for your son.

All the Best for Your Son's Bright Future.
