This year ,I think that Mind Strether wants to cut costs .They did not even provide any writing paper for the English class .They also told us to buy our own paper .

Is this applicable to all Mind Stretcher tuition centers? :?

I am planning to enroll my DD in either MS Sembawang or Woodlands for P5 Eng. Appreciate your frank feedback about both centres and how is their standard for p5 English Achiever in comparison to the new Eng syllabus?

What was your feedback on Mind Stretcher Sembawang?

Hi

Anyone can share some feedback on
P5 English High Achiever class? Do they teach grammar and synthesis rules? How often is compre and compo done in class, is it once a month? Thanks!

FLD, i have seen some samples of P5 HA Eng. Yeah they do teach all the components. I think Compre is at least twice a month and compo is like once a month. The child writes and also given model compo. That was what my BFF shared.

Thanks LC. I went MS open house at Tampines a few weeks ago and browsed the materials there. Yes frequency as per what you described above, but sometimes compre is once a month due to more time spent on cloze and s&t.

Just sharing my thoughts and experience.

At the beginning of this year, I was deciding about whether I should enrol my child with Mindstretcher at Bishan for English and Writer’s toolbox so naturally I would like many other concerned parents to gather feedback and made enquiries with the counter staff. I didn’t have a good experience talking to them as I found them to be impatient and sometime even rude. When I enquired about who the teachers would be teaching for English and some feedback on them, they would just say ‘if you want stricter teacher then go for Teacher A’ so that what’s everyone will think it is good, right?..However, my child’s feedback was that the teacher was so strict that nobody dared to ask him any questions even when they were in doubts. My child didn’t improve much at all but towards the end of this year, I’m glad to have a new female teacher teaching my child (changed my child to a new timeslot and class) and even though the teacher doesn’t seem that ‘strict’ (which I think this term is very subjective) but I could tell that she is a very responsible, diligent and approachable teacher. As according to my child, she doesn’t teach like a robot to simply cover all the worksheets but she will explain the concept well and she is firm with the class. Thus never judge a book by its cover. My child is motivated to learn much more now and doesn’t complain about ‘copying’ or the ‘frustration’ of learning English or Composition etc.
All I can say is that everyone’s expectation is different, as parents, we have to be wise in making decision for our child whether which teacher is good or not, time will tell. As for the centre staff, I do hope that they can improve on their customer’s service - not to be so calculative, be more friendly as they will leave the first impression of whether we should or not to enrol our children in. Most importantly, I’m looking for the quality of the teacher and not an overly strict/fierce robot to teach my child!
