Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[bggb]

Hi! Between learning point and TAS, which one is better? For my elder one, his weakness is in composition, comprehension and conversation. To target these three areas, which is more suitable? Anyone heard of Study Room at Toa Payoh before?

Hi,


Desperately looking for an tuition/enrichment centre who is good with teaching English Pri 5 creative writing, comprehension, synthesis etc.

My gal has been with Mindstretcher English for 1.5 years and found not much improvement in her writing, comprehension. Her fundamentals are alright (not advanced level).

Can anyone recommend any good enrichment centre ? Is TAS good and which teachers will you recommend for parents with kids attending TAS and have seen improvement ?

Thanks.

Hey, you want to try The Cognitive Hub? My child has been there for 2 years and she is in P6 now. I am happy with their teaching and child improved

[quote=\"littleprince\"]Can anyone give me your views about TLL and LP? How different are they in terms of materials and curriculum? And which is your preference and why? :thankyou:

My daughter concurrently attended both TLL and LP English for almost half year when she was in K2. She preferred TLL as she found it more challenging.

JMHO:

TLL is more like enrichment than tuition. That is, you are quite sure that your child has a good grasp of English and you send your child to TLL so that he/she could be stretched further. I have seen students attending TLL but had to quit as they were not able to cope or see no improvement for the high fees paid.

LP more conventional. Is more of a tuition than an enrichment. Their worksheets are systematic

and provides a good foundation in English.[/quote]Thank you for your feedback, this is exactly what I wanted to find out. We have been with LP for 2 years since K1 and although we are very grateful to LP for teaching ds to read, I feel it is now time to move on. I found their last year's worksheets a tad too routine and drilling. Hence, I started to have these thoughts of late. Thank you for your prompt advice :thankyou:[/quote]

I agree . LP worksheets are very conventional . My daughter was there for lower Pri and found it not challenging enough so we left

Hi Essential,


My DD in P5 is having home based group tuition in the East. Teacher is good. Niece and nephew are also with her. But not sure if she is taking new students as her classes are quite full. PM me if you are interested.
