        Hi friends did anybody has this problems, can share your experience. My son not doing well in his math he is in P4 and he score only 60 plus only not even reach 70. We have send him to Adam Khoo learning centre no improvements what so ever..His problem is solving problems sum. His problems sum that pulls his mark down. At home he do lots of assessments and top school paper. But when he did that at home he seem to do ok that's confuse me. Don't know where's the problem. But when he bring back his paper I look at the problems sum. All the sum that he got them wrong, is the sums that we had go through over and over so many times. Am I expecting too much? What I can do to help my son..Please share. Thank you so much.. 😓

              My p5 (2015) boy will be doing psle next year. He is in a neighbourhood sch. He been failing his maths since p4. I am at a loss to help him. Teachers in school dont seem to help. We sent him to tuition but that didnt stop his marks falling. We are really worried. This year he failed his science…we are beginning to panic psle is next year. Anyone can recommend a specialist 1to 1 tutor for math science and maybe english. Someone who can build up confidence with good foundation. We are staying in the yew tee area. We would be most grateful for your help. It just so painful to see the boy like this…thx

                  Hi all,


                  Chloe here, mum of 3 children. Very into enrichment cos i think our local school not providing creative learning or additional stretching of children potential.

                  I heard PlayFACTO School has arrived in Singapore. They have been very successful in Korea, Japan in creatively coaching and guiding mathematics and concepts in a fun way. Not sure if any mommies have seen them? My friends in Korea told me they are very very effective and fun to learn too. Children love it. Cant wait to try it out once they come in. Understand from their web that they are beginning in Toa Payoh. Anyone knows about them more details?

                        … I would like to talk about how I score for math. Overtime we do a mathematical step, I will go and process why we do it and what are we finding when we do it. Most teachers and tutors would tell you to just memorise the solution. This is not effective at all because the question tend to tweak how the phrase it, making it seem exactly different when it really is the same thing. This worked very well for me, though it may or may not work for others. No harm trying anyways.


                        P.S. I’m a Sec 1 now so I wld know.
