Anyone can share comparing LP, TLL and TAS?


My DS will be in Primary 2 next year, I hope that he can improve his Grammar, Comprehension and Composition through the enrichment.

Currently he is in TLL but I think that he is not improving that much.

Any advice?

Different folks different strokes - what works for one may not help for others. I think the teacher/student link is most important. Do be aware that some of those out of this world improvement may/not be true - miracles do happen but I find that these usually take time.

Go to the other centres and see how comfy you are, best is to try get into trial classes so your child has a chance to experience and see if that works.

P2 still got time. But for English, what works best is still to read storybooks - esp when they still have time to do so.

I am enrolling kiddo (k2 next year) for additional english class with TLL. He is now with Lorna (english enrichment) and ICR. Lorna stirred his passion for reading, which I am grateful for. ICR taught him to pronounce the words. Both complemented well. But I felt his grammar is still lacking. Personally, I like Lorna because the teachers are passionate. Unfortunately, the teacher to student ratio is 1:12 which is why I feel that kiddo is not able to pick up as much. So I am trying out TLL in Dec to make comparisons. … Sometimes, i just wonder if i am going overboard. I am trying to find a suitable school as early as possible, so as to minimise the disruptions when kiddo enters P1…

Dear parents. I am writing in response to the PM which I have received recently. Many of you have Pmed me regarding a post I have posted many many months ago and many of you have been asking me if my dd is still studying there.


My dds have been with the centre since two years ago. One of them who is in P6 last year did pretty well to enable her to get into IP programme in CHIJ. Thus, without any hesitation I continued with the centre for Ms Estelle helped me to push my dd up from a mere 50 plus 60 to scoring A* in PSLE.

My personal view on the centre which I have recommended would be that it is a centre suitable for parents who are looking for really delicate teachers instead of a famous centre. So far, parents there have been discussing while waiting for our dd and what I have heard are all good feedbacks. This is why, I have no hesitation recommending the centre to you as. As a parents, I truly know how \"messed up\" the current education system is and with the new stellar unit it is literally impossible for us to guide our children as they only get back their file a week before exams and I know it is frustrating as I have been through it.

I have also received Pmed telling me that the location of the centre is not accessible and that the slots are full. I hope to gain your understanding that I sent my dd there for the sake of her education. I do not drive and I have been walking from the AMK Hub to the centre for years now but I guess to individual parents it is different. As for the slot being full, I have been told since I started that they talk in maximum of only 8 students. Thus, i apologized to those whom trusted me but was disappointed by the slots issues.

I believe there are good teachers in every centre. Thus, as parents we should look at not the centre but the teachers.

hi karin, can you PM me the centre name and location.

Thanks!

Hi kain, can pm me the centre name and location too. I have one p3 boy next year. :thankyou:
