Growing Up Gifted

[Ryan Sng]

Jacbe,


If in the east area - there's MindChamps. But they are using Jolly phonics as opposed to GUG using Zoophonics. If you want a better programme for your kid then I suggest you go Genius Space at Tanglin Rd. Can google the company. My personal opinion, your efforts will be paid off if you send your kid to a premium school. All parents want their kids to bloom and excel, thus some sacrifices are warranted in ensuring they get the best in their academic and personal development.
Cheers!

My boy also attended their twice a week class. He enjoyed his class very much and after 3-4 lessons, he was able to do the zoophonics actions and their sounds. Would love to continue the lesson but the journey is too far away.

Have tried out a few trials at Pat's schoolhouse for the D storyclub and tumbletots but they were not as good as GUG. Are there any good ones around East area?

Been 2 lessons with him and find that the lessons are interesting and fun. In long term run the distance really seems too far away from me too.. but at this moment he only taking the weekend lesson. Still ok for me..Meatime also looking for good ones around East Area....Hope to find a good ones as well for long term run...Anyone have good recommendation for us? :idea:

May I ask at what age did you start your children at GUG?


My girl is 13 months and I am wondering if I should start now of when she is 18 months.

Any advise?

Depends on your child adaptability. Let her try out some trial classes to gain exposure.

I started my son at 22mths when I feel that he is ready to pay attention at certain things and keen to learn when I teach him simple words.
From there then I let him join his first class of lesson. If not, it will be quite difficult to get them sit down and listen and learn and if your child start be cranky it might also distract other children which I personally feel. However, the teacher plays a part too to bring back their attention. So maybe u try looking for trial lesson and see what type of classes she likes. As a good start off is important for them and from there they will enjoy learning and going to class.

Hi chrisbear,


My son trial once at GUG when he was 10 months. Think he was not ready yet so we postponed and let him attended for 2 terms when he was 15 mths.

He is now almost 3 years old and still remember their zoophonics and some of the songs taught.

I guess it depends on your child since each develops differently. You might want to do a trial class 1st before you sign up for full term like we did.

Dependent on teacher. When i sit-in for trial, quite amazed at standard of teacher in relation to the price paid.

In a positive way, or negative?

Hi, i m also considering GUG for my son who jus turned 1 yo.


Called and made enquiry, i find their course fee is a bit exp.

Is there any feedback on Zoophonic which i heard conduct the course in a similar pattern with much lower course fee.

[SaBB]

How about Zoophonic which conduct the lesson similar as GUG but… at a lower course fee.


Any feedback?
