2015 PSLE Discussion and Strategies

[vividlaurel]

Hi,


I have been seriously thinking of enrolling DD & DS (both will take PSLE in 2015) in a programme like Mindchamps. Both are still not serious that this is PSLE year, more so DS who is still so bo chap!

Anyone has any reviews on this programme or something similar. I understand it's fairly expensive :moneyflies: and if i have to invest a fair amount of money in it (two kids at the same time) then i want to make sure that it's something that will be useful to them :xedfingers:

Anyone with any information or reviews?

:thankyou: in advance!

I am putting my niece at Indigo for math and science and have a private tutor for chinese. She’s from st nics and the teachers there are good but i guess everyone in the family wants her to be a little more prepared.

Thanks Justmummy!


They have private tutors for all subjects, this is for giving them the extra push - to motivate them...

I just dont know how else i can motivate them, anyone with any ideas? I've tried explaining to them, but so far it hasnt sunk in yet

Haha I like to scare them with ‘‘do you want to end up in changkat changi’’, which i know can be rather mean to the school.

Sometime we need to be tutor as ourselves if we want our kids to have a good progress in their study. I send my dd to learning lab for English, she still got 60 plus. I decide to teach her using my way, she got 70 plus. And my dd also doesnot wang to quit learning lab.

:rotflmao: I also do that! Use some schools near my house to scare them with. One of them had a bad rep some years back, so use that school a lot...It's not fair on the school, but what do we do :evil:

gardenia64, how do you manage? I am working FT and so tired by the time i get home. Also my kids are tired with school and tuition by that time that they don't want to sit with me

Vividlaurel, I sat with my dd a very little time after my work or during the weekend. It was very tired. No choice. My dd has no confidence on her so it is difficult for me as well. Luckily she got a responsible form teacher this year. She got improved higher Chinese improved. This holiday is important for the next year exam.
