Project SuperStar season three contestant Amanda Lee continues to live out her music dreams as a singer, playing multiple gigs across the island and making paid appearances at corporate events and roadshows.
But a little-known side job for her, apparently, is being a private tutor. In an anecdote dedicated to Teacher's Day, she recounts an all-too-familiar story about the typical kiasu-ism of Singaporean parents, and how it doesn't serve well at all in helping their children.
Despite the obvious, progressive improvement in grades, the parents of a student she taught were unfairly unhappy over their daughter's marks. They even had the gall to scold the tutor and demanded that she "work hard".
