Hi All, I just came across this post.


I've enrolled DS to Numberlinks in Jan'13. He was assessed with weak foundations. he attends class every week without fail. I had to withdraw him as they find him not up to their standards. The uncaring teacher and arrogant principal who brings you down as a parent. They made us very unhappy parents as well.

I am looking to get enopi worksheets so that I can guide him at home. Anyone has contact to buy them?

I al also looking for enrichment class for P4 in hougang / bishan / AMK. Any recommendation?

This is really bad. MSLC must learn to talk to parents/students politely. If our kids are not upto the standard, of course, they need to help them. We are paying for that, right? We are sending our kids for tuition / enrichment for what? Pass time? I dont understand what do they really think.

HappyH, the rude principal and uncaring teacher is at Numberlinks Bishan, not MSLC.


I hope DS learn and grow up through this unhappy episode. I’ve just signed up DS with MS-Hougang for P4 Maths. He is attending P4 Science at MS-Hougang since Jan’13. I saw he answered better in P4 Science Section 2 for his recent topic tests as compared to P3 Science.

Just to share that the teachers engaged by Mindstretcher Hougang and Bishan has to pass the interview by the founders of Mindstretcher. Bishan is the HQ branch. Hougang is part of the HQ branch too but not a HQ. Some other Mindstretcher centres are franchise out and their own respective branch boss will interview the teachers before they teach. However, all have to fulfil the teaching requirement set by the founders. So franchise centres also cannot anyhow engage teachers as HQ will check on them. All worksheets are the same throughout.

Just saw the previous posts regarding Mindstretcher and Learning Point. I guess parents can complain to the respective centres, right? I did not know that Learning Point selects only top-scoring students. If it is true, it's a ridiculous practice. I wouldn't send my child for tuition if he or she is already scoring 80% at tests.


:offtopic: I hope that MOE can establish some rules and give accreditation to qualified tutors. I realise that we tend to believe the big lies and half-truths told by some tuition centres (e.g. those claiming to have qualifications that don't exist, or those taking in students who were already scoring A's and then claiming that most of their students score distinctions at PSLE, etc.), but are instead more skeptical about private tutors. If MOE can regulate the industry, parents can feel reassured. It will also help private tutors, who may not have the resources to \"market\" themselves. Some centres are very good at advertising, but I feel that we should put the focus back into teaching, rather than marketing or packaging.

With all due respect to the centres, I think they should be more transparent in sharing about the students they take in. If all their students were already potential distinction students before tuition, the percentage of distinctions at the national exams should be close to 100% and not 70-80%, as I have seen at some centres.
