I am looking urgently for a reliable tutor/tuition centre, preferably in the north-east, for JC H2 Biology. If you have any good recommendation, please advise. Thanks in advance.

How do your kids store their copious notes? My daughter gets huge chunks (and it’s only April of JC1!) and she doesn’t want to punch holes as she writes in the margins, and she says it’s too troublesome. I’ve considered filing boxes, but she will need lots for 2 yrs of notes. I think a filing cabinet (which we don’t really want or have space for) would be an overkill. Any suggestions?

Can't she write her notes on the top/right margins? Or use Post it pads to write n paste on?
For me, I feel it's more organized, neater n quicker to retrieve if you file in arch files. Both my kids do that as they know I can't stand messy piles of papers lying around.

I’ve suggested, and she doesn’t want to. I do sympathise as it really is easier to have your annotations next to the relevant item on the page. My older daughter uses those large arch files, but doesn’t seem to have as much in the way of notes. If all else fails, maybe my younger one will have to do so as well, but I thought that if we can find another solution…
Where might be a good place to look for filing options? Popular? What are the main stationery stores in Singapore? -

Aren't they bound in book form?
Punch holes and put in arch files, retaining the booklet format -
If you don't want to punch holes, you need to spend more money on clear holders, or buy those transparent plastic sleeves that come with punched holes for you to file into arch files. I buy them in packs of 100 for ds' tuition notes.

Saw some mobile filing cabinets at Ikea. Those with wheels which office has. You roll it under your study desk. Filing cabinet Dividers/Pockets could easily be found in Popular. Or it might come with the cabinet already. -

Yes, transparent plastic sleeves is a good alternative. My DD uses this option a lot too.If you don't want to punch holes, you need to spend more money on clear holders, or buy those transparent plastic sleeves that come with punched holes for you to file into arch files.

How about punching one hole on the top left hand corner of the paper, instead of the usual 2 holes on left hand side? Can use those string or metal rings to hold the papers together.
Just have to be mindful not to write on that space meant for the punched hole.
I wont use those protective sheets - too expensive in the long run, more work to slip the papers into the sheets.
Else just staple the papers together (can buy those big staples meant for thick papers) and get those paper or plastic boxes to keep the notes. We get the paper boxes from Ikea.
Or get those paper folders (similar to those we used to use as art folio in primary school) to keep the notes and have a big box to hold these paper folders. -

I think so too. And we would need huge numbers of them!

Sounds like a filing cabinet! I think I have to visit Ikea one day. -

Her's seem to be in chunks, unbound. She doesn't want to punch holes.slmkhoo:
