    Hi all. I recently came across a poster of a new student care at BLK 160 Yishun St 11. So it's near Yishun Pri. It seems that they are having an open house on 14 June.


    Need to register first.

    Be warn before sign up, this school is more interested in making profit than the student’s learning progress and results. We appealed several times for make-up class due to the Public Holiday that repeatedly fell on Wednesday for the month of April & May (2024). Students missed so many lessons and yet Mind Stretcher refuse to even offer a single zoom lesson to try and assist on areas that were definitely not covered given the limited time. There is no way the Teacher is able to squeeze 3 missed lessons into 1 lesson. There is surely a compromise either in the quality or quantity and yet Mind Stretcher insisted there is “no back logs”. Their respond is that topics will be covered again during revision weeks and close the chapter. My child is in P4 this year and not P1/P2! Imagine Parents for P5/P6 level, i’m sure they will be greatly affected too. Yet, Mind Stretcher can only reply “this is in our terms and conditions”. There are about 12-15 students in the class multiply per lesson $ x 3. Mind Stretcher cannot even have an allowance for 1 zoom lesson to attempt to close up gaps or go through the more difficult topics. Mr Shazli is a excellent teacher but not the school Mind Stretcher(Parkway Parade).

    Yes, Mrs Lee is one teacher who’s very clear in her explanation. Even now that my girl is in sec 1 and not taught by her anymore, she wishes all teachers are as loud and clear in their explanation as Mrs lee.


    Anyway, my friends just called Mrs lee for slots but her classes are full, except for one new p6 class. They’ve got to be on wait list. Like what one parent said, unlike other centres, mrs Lee does not ask other teachers to teach, other than another trained teacher, who helps her with p1/p2. So mrs lee is not a centre - she’s the only tutor for upper primary. Thus, the quality is there. Just my 2cents.

    It is really dependent on the teachers assigned. For a start, I was happy with icr. Then they replaced the teacher for one of my kid. Within 1-2 lessons, the new teacher suggested to send my child to see a specialist cos she cannot get some vowels right.

    We, as parents were upset cos that precisely why we send our kids there. Moreover, the examiner during the screen test noted that and assured us that it is normal as young kids are exploring with sounds.
    We wanted to withdraw but had signed up for half a year. Stuck with that, we had no choice but to continue. Nevertheless, we are happy to have another new perm teacher, of which our kid enjoys his teaching.
    In short, it really depends on the teachers assigned

    Hi!

    I had posted before asking about Hua Cheng Thomson Plaza branch. But I didn’t gather enough info then. My son joined another tuition centre but I am still thinking of trying the programme in Hua Cheng (Thomson) because it is more convenient for me.
    Does anyone has any views on this centre? I think they have 3 branches…what are the differences? I am choosing between Thomson and bukit timah…anyone try any of these two?
