[quote=\"Psbeh\"]Anyone know what is the different between HA class and Achiever class for Science and English? Are they using the same material? Thanks.

Hi. My daughter is in HA class and her friend is in Achiever English. There is no much difference in the material given and sometime the worksheets are exactly the same! Guess the difference is in the different learning pace.
Just to share my daughter's experience in her P5 HA Creative writing and English classes at Bishan. Over this year, she has improved greatly in her English and composition results at this end of year exam. To be frank, the credit should go to her MS English teacher who is ever so patient and encouraging. However, we are sad to find out that she will not longer be teaching in the centre next year. We do not know the reason but possibly there is something behind the scene...anyway, we wish the teacher well and hope the centre/management can find teachers who are good because last time my daughter had a few MS teachers who are just mediocre and only when she met her MS teacher this year then she improved and wanted to stay on.
So now, with her leaving, wondering should my daughter go and try other tuition centres...
NB. Pls don't be fooled by any advertisement or being persuaded that a teacher must be good if he or she is an ex-VP/P or from a 'posh' school because real good teachers are those who are unassuming and patient and don't go around bragging!

I found a good experienced writing teacher at Balmoral MS who used to teach my dd on Wednesdays 3.30 pm, but now they cannot continue with the class unless there are at least 2 students in the class (Yup, she was the ONLY student for many months! And she did well for her SA2 compo this year)

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP if you would like to join this class on Wednesdays! ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED, PLEASE PM ME AS WELL! :lol:

(P.S. This is for PSLE in 2020)[/quote]Hi all, the P6 Writer's Toolbox Class will be held on Mondays 5.30 pm, please PM me if you would like to join in, thank you!! :rahrah:

Anyone has review for MS class at Seletar Mall for P1? Looking at maths class for my P1 next yr, any recommended teachers?

Hi parents! I am sourcing for current year Mind Stretcher Writers' Toolbox notes for my child who will be in P6 next year. I am NOT keen in regular English class notes.


If your children no longer need the notes, I am interested to purchase from you (original notes only, not photocopied notes).

I am willing to pay up to $100 if the notes are in good condition.

Do send me private message to deal. Thank you.

Convenient locations for those living in the west but customer service is poor and generally staff do not seem very concerned about students beyond the basic obligations. Teachers don’t even bother to ask if students are ok. Only time they call is to ask for fee payment. Can consider but do include other tuition centres in your evaluation.

For me, Mindstretcher is just a place to make my child spend 2 hours a week practising doing exercises and assessment. Don’t expect quality teachers who can explain concepts well or inspire learning. Better do that yourself.

I have full set Maths and English Pri 1 (2019) worksheets to let go. Pm me if interested.

I don’t think those MS worksheets will be much different from normal assessments or past year school exam papers.

Dear Parents,


I would like to receive some feedback regarding Mindstreatcher Tampines or Mindstreatcher in general.

I have 2 kids doing primary 5 and secondary 1. Is it advisable to put them in mindstreatcher tampines ?

I have been hearing some feedbacks as below but not sure how far its true

1. Some of the teachers are teaching without any interest… just for the sake of teaching and is not creating any enthusiasm amoung the students resulting in the kids not getting motivated to ask questions or put their effort to understand what the teacher taught.
2. The teachers asks questions to the students and then just write the answers on the board (probably with steps) without proper explanations asking the kids to merely copy it in their notebook resulting in the kids to copy what is written on the board without proper understanding
3. The teachers doesn’t check whether the entire group of students in that particular class have understood / completed the tasks given and simply moves to the next topic when one or two finishes the task. (Say a maths problem)
4. They are more focussed on advertising their centres to attract the parents + giving discounts etc., and the management has less focus on evaluating the quality of the teachers. I heard they have proper methods / worksheets but not enough explanations from the teachers are comming out while teaching.

Please let me know your views.
