Has anyone heard of E&P Learning Place?

My son join them when he is 6 (he is 11 now) and we find that he benefit a lot from it.

Anada Lian (Founder & Teacher) is good but she told me they she don't follow school syallbus. She said that most important is they understand the concept. My son completed his lesson with Ms Lian when he is in Pr 1 and till date we didn't send him to any math enrichment class.

Hi Sally,

I understand that E&P has a number of different classes. Which one did your son attend ? The Abacus class ?

Cheers !

Hello Voo Voo


My girl is currently there and she is 3.5yrs old with the course called
Total Brain Development. The best thing is... lessons are conducted in Chinese

More exposure to chinese environment

What's being conducted in class? Is there a need to be able to write before joining?

I have no idea what do they do, but it seems that my girl is having great fun, as for writing I think you send you child to assess and they will be able to tell you if your child is ready.

Hi,


I am new here. Just want to add some of my opinion for this school. My girl went for their abacus class since she was 4. Not bad. Now she is K2 and is doing book 5 whereby they do all the multiplication and division. She still has 3 books to go, but I intend to stop her already cos I think it is sufficient for her already.[/code]

Yes, and I have witnessed with my own eyes the prowess of either a graduate or on-going student of E&P. Though she was only P1, I had to kow-tow to her ability to divide, which surpasses mine by several folds.

Can the same be achieved with kumon ??

[nmhmum]

Yes, it is really amazing to see my girl can divide those difficult questions easily without the help of the calculator. But one thing bad is there are too many homework for her. Sometimes she do until she cries.

Hi Voo Voo


I started him with the abacus class (4 books) and then follow by the mental calculation class (8 books). He completed the whole syballus. What \"nmhmum\" said is truth they do difficult questions easily without the help of the calculator. He also taken a competition organisa by E & P and a IQ paper which is recognize by MOE.

Hi Sally, the IQ paper you mentioned.....are you refering to SOI, CMAS or TEMA ?

[sally]

Hi


I not too sure what it is but Ms Lian told us that she had submitted the paper to MOE for your vetting and obtaining approval from MOE. According to her some parent use it to get their child into the Gifted Programme.

So can anyone advise what are the differences between E&P & CMA teaching?


Has any one send their child to both?

At first, thinking of sending my daughter who will be turning 4 next month of CMA in 2009. Now heard about E&P, a bit confused… which to enrol?

Any recommendations?

My daughter can count write up to 20 and more…
