Eye Level Education Centre (aka Enopi) - Discussion

[MMM]

Hi,


With SA just over, I thought I like to share how my P3 benefitted from Enopi.

She started when she was in P2. Her scores in P1 is around 80 odd, after attending Enopi in P2, her scores during SA2 was 90. Then now in P3 (noting that that is a jump between P2 and P3 and I also observed that it is no longer that easy to score), her results seems to sustain. We believe that if she is careful with her working/ simple computation, she can easily score 90+.

I am happy to see her maths results and hope that this is sustainable as she progresses given that maths is always a big challenge for kids as they progress. Think the national pass rate is also one of the lowest.

After her SA1, I asked how’s the paper. She said difficult. Alot of friends found it difficult but she added that she found it ok as she knows how to solve that. I am not sure if she got that answer right but it’s the confidence level that is encouraging to see.

My K1 is currently doing Enopi and doing simple addition now. With her early start, I hope she will be able to achieve alot more than her siblings.

cbreeze: Don't think the kids will feel intimidating with numbers, as at that age I think some schools even gave the exposure at age 5. And moreover with enopi colour worksheets some kids love it.


Usually the teacher will gave an update of my child after every lesson on what to take note of and what he had done so far. For new concepts that are taught in class, 1/2 of the worksheets are done in class and the other at home.

For me...my DS started when he was 4.5 yrs old..and now in P1 although no exams for Term 1 & 2, his marks are almost perfect except 1 or 2 careless mistakes. And i realised that his understanding for the fundamentals are strong and this gave him more freeway to tackle the tougher question eg: the challenging questions (aka heuristic).

JTS: there is a new branch opened in Kembangan RC, nearer to me and lesser travelling time

Hi cbreeze,


I am totally agreed with June’s remark that nowadays school started as early as 4 years old in knowing numbers.

For my gal, initially when she attend she is still quite weak in her number counting. The teacher might not be able to speak to us every lesson but if she noticed that which area my gal is weak, she will highlight to me and from there, at least i can go through with my gal.

Normally, for every level, the teacher will go through with the basic step and how to process. I believed that once their fundamental is there, it should not be a problem for them to progress. Even my boy, he should be doing okay but i realised that he is just been too lazy and does not like to do those basic operation calculation again and again.

Can anyone tell me where to find a list of Enopi centres in Singapore? Cannot seem to get it from their website. Thanks.

Hello MMM!
Thanks for sharing on your experience. I liked the fact that your P3 child has acquired the confidence in tackling the tough SA papers.

She just came back and told me that she scored 84 for her SA1. She said that alot of people just passed the passed the paper (getting 50+) and some of her friends who used to top the class in P2 were getting 70+ only and did badly for section C (problem sums). So yes, I am really glad to see her confidence level. Her enopi teacher was telling her that she can easily score 95 marks if she is careful. This I agree.

Hi June!
Great to know that the coloured worksheets do help to motivate the children. My DS is now in K2 and can be apprehensive in new settings (classrooms etc.), so that is why I raised questions about being 'intimidated' with the new worksheets & homework etc. especially since it's not a typical tuition centre. (more like Kumon style that is..)Guess it's not that big an issue after hearing all your sharing.

Tks. :lol:

Hi Monster Mummy!


Thanks for sharing. You mentioned the different levels…I’ve heard there are 20 for the foundation or fundamentals stage, is that true? Does that mean after the diagnostic test, say my DS is level 2…so he start off with level 2 worksheets? My DS is still using his fingers to count, I heard that this will be eventually wean off with training. How about multiplication tables, how is the child being taught to memorise that? Any special skill apart from memorising?

Wow...that's even fabulous to know. I've heard alot that from P3 onwards, the math problems can be really tough, and as I used to have phobia about math and foresee problems with teaching my DS, I am hence embarking him on the necessary fundamental training. Once the fundamentals are firm, the confidence level will be propped up and barring unnecessary carelessness, I think the child should be able to cope with the challenges. Do share more along the way...love to learn more.

With thanks :lol: :lol:
