I was also from Hwachong and had GP tuition at Indigo. It was useful for me, because I was exposed to different types of questions (gave me more options for the actual exam) and helped me with essay planning. Not sure if the quality of teachers at Indigo is as good now though. Can PM me for more details.

Can anyone advise if it is worth taking SMTP or GATE?

Dd is in one of the gate class.
I think they have some pull out lessons in JC1.
Instead of attending lectures, they will do some team based learning - The students are given a case study to analyse and the group has to present/justify their answers to the teacher facilitator.
(Eg case study about 2 Uni friends and topic on coffee
They will explore questions like why one need to consume coffee on a regular basis, the other does not, the effects of coffee on neurons when one of them gets jittery , whether genes play a role in caffeine tolerance and is there any connection between caffeine and Parkinson’s disease etc.
Some self study of certain topics (based on lecture notes) will be required for the lectures that they did not attend and the students would still need to do up the tutorials that the others in the cohort is doing. They will go through the tutorials in class, so they can clear up any doubts on the topics which they may have.
There are some elective modules which the students can sign up for -workshop/field trip/seminars. It’s mainly conducted in the 3 hr afternoon session on Thursday last year.
They also have to choose a topic of interest to do research on and present it at the smtp-gate fair.

I am not sure if there are any changes to the program and different gate classes/smtp classes may do it differently.
I think there will be a parents briefing on subject combi so maybe u can find out more about it then?
The students will also be briefed on the program as well, so yr child can sign up for it if he finds it interesting.

Maths - has been video recorded lectures all along. So students are supposed to go thru these recorded lessons. Its no different from attending lectures actually. (U would probably be able to see the workings on video more clearly than from yr LT seat..)

Biology - thats something newly implemented this year, the details i do not know.
