Is the centre manager a teacher there too?

Teacher Joy is good. My kid enjoys going for her lessons. Ever since they restarted their library system, my children have been reading everyday, they can’t put the books down.


My children also picked up the way they teach spelling and use the same method in school and they now have no problem in spelling at all. The spelling booklet they have is rather useful.

Anyone knows if they will be starting new P1 classes at AMK? My neighbour wants to join a new class.

I just transferred one of my child over to Sing Post branch as I cannot make it for the AMK timing anymore. My kid used to be under teacher Martin at AMK. He is very good, can really engage my child and his teaching is thorough. Now he is under teacher Elaine. Teacher Elaine is also very good. She will explain to me what she has taught and now that they are teaching more application of phrases, they use strategies like building tension line to plot the story etc, she will explain what it means. And when my child is not clear of anything, she will stay back with my child to explain.

Hi coast,


I am also interested to let my child join TAS. But i cant make it for weekday classes, do they have other classes on weekends? I also heard very good reviews from a friend whose son is in their P4 class and also from the forum. The last time I called them, the class that I want is full

Hi TAS,


Tks, that is good news! Can we start buying books from this week?

Hi ccgoh or anyone who has children at TAS,


How are the teachers like? What is their teaching style? Are they very strict? Are they like the Ang Mo kind (not strict but children love them) or like the more traditional teacher kind (strict but kids may not totally like them)?

My kids like the Ang Mo style but honestly sometimes I find they do not really take what the teacher says seriously and apply what they have learnt because they think everything is ‘fun’

I am a new mother at the forum and do not know of many enrichment centres. But I have heard people talk about The Alternative Story and also read good comments abou them here. Have you tried them? They are at Yishun but moving to Ang Mo Kio soon. I have not signed up with them yet but from what I hear, they seem to be good.

Hi,


Anyone knows what to use to clean a handphone, I have been using wet tissues but it still does not seem clean. I read some articles that say a handphone can be dirtier and carry more germs than a toilet handle! My child has been getting sick and I do not know if it is linked to his handphone as i only got him one this year and he started to come down with flu more often.

I do not eat after 8 pm and cut down on my intake of rice. I also went jogging once a week. More toned now but I think I can still lose some more.


I have a friend who signed with a trainer in a gym, anyone here did that or go to the gym? Any good gym course to recommend?

Hi Nancy,


So sorry to hear this, my cousin’s baby also had this and she brought him to Thomson Medical. Now his condition is much better.
