      There is no one recipe fits ALL the child. Every child is different in their learning style. LP has good programmes around but it is not necessary fit every child. Good programmes also required good teachers to carry out, otherwise no use right?

      Yes, agreed. Every child is different thus what works for one child may not work for another. Good programs are important but good teachers who can motivate are also very important.

        Well said.
        Thankfully my son is benefitting tremendously from LP classes.
        And he has the privilege to be under good teachers at LP :xedfingers:

        Hi Lovinglife, Ran1977
        Does LP give out a lot of homework? If yes, what kind of homework?
        Thank You...

          Does LP has sec class? TAS and MS are now starting sec class. There seems to be more demand for tuition.

            From those around me, I understand that TAS is more open to promoting their students to higher levels as long as they show the ability to follow the lessons. This is especially so for those who start with them since preschool. My nephew started with TAS when he was in K1/K2. Though he’s only a P2 this year, he is attending the P4 class with other P4 students. Another P5 who joined them at P3 has just finished P6 class with those taking PSLE this year.


            PS : My nephew is also among the top performers in his class, scoring above 95 for English exam which includes composition writing.

              DS2 was in TAS a few years back. Remembered that had to take test to assess…and there were 1 or 2 kids in higher level in his class. For DS2, TAS did not work for him (not cos it is not good) as I think the big class size was not able to help him as he is about average in standard. And my boy gets distracted in big class size.

                Yes, I remember them having to take assessment tests. The test is more to place them on the right level.

                But to be fair, TAS seems to be working for my nephew, but not my niece (his older sister). Though she's also another P5 who has finished the P6 syllabus at TAS, my sis feels her compo writing has yet to meet her expectation.

                Erm, my niece's results are consistently above 80 but not beyond 90...

                  Currently my DD is in TLL. May I ask which English Enrichment school is better - TLL or LP? Her cousin is in LP since P1 and his English is really good.

                    I feel that as every child is different...what works for 1 child may not work for another. Getting a good and right teacher who can motivate & \"click\" with the child is also very important. It is not just TAS. I know of a girl who is doing well in TLL, she said that TLL helped her a lot but TLL did not work for her brother. It doesn't mean the centre is no good, just that different kids....

                        A relative had taken out her daughter P1 from Mavis Tutorial Centre n put her in Growan.

                        Apparently, she said can see improvement in daughter English in Growan compared with when daughter was in Mavis…any Growan parents can feedback?
