Hi parents

Any kids attend TLL at United Sq science? May I know if ur kid is attending the class designed for nygh or others? I want to know the difference other than the curriculum. Can share pls?

Is it true that this year’s Chemistry EOY for the Sec 3 cohort average is D7? Anybody knows various subjects’ results for the Sec 3 cohort? Thanks.

Dd is Sec 4 this year, according to her Chem teacher, Sec 4 average grade is B3 and 80% of her class got A1. Sec 3 performance maybe slightly lower than Sec 4 but D7 is a little unbelievable.

Wow, is your dd in Advanced Chem class? 80% of her class getting A1 is amazing. How I wish my dd can score at least A2 for this subject. She's always in the range of B3 - B4. Dd said her Chem teacher told the class that Sec 3 average grade is D7, wonder she heard wrongly or not. Dd was so pissed off when I asked her twice:\"Are you sure you heard correctly? D7 huh?\"

Hi Ganjiongspider,


Perhaps you could ask the teacher to confirm? Not all teachers relay information on average grades to the students. Kids are sometimes edgy when we press for more info on grades. HCI’s Chem paper for Sec 3 was also not well done. However, the marking was greatly adjusted. Hence the average grade was not far out of line with that of other subjects.

Hmm..I always tried not to call her teacher unless it is very urgent matter, or personally affect my dd... I think I'm just hoping dd can get promoted to Sec 4 with her not so ideal results this year. Pray that next year she is able to focus & \"chiong\" for important promotion year to HCJC lo. :nailbite:

Hi Ganjiongspider,


I personally think one polite way to do this is to drop the teacher an email, to leave your phone number and to request her to call you back at her convenience. This will not impose any trouble on the teacher. You can then politely relay your concerns over the phone and seek her advice as to how girls will generally progress in the subject in Sec 4, particularly as there are requirements to fulfil to read 4H2s in HCJC. There are also individual subject requirements for Science H2s.

In HCI, for the Sciences,s the teachers have conveyed that most boys will do better in Sec 4 than Sec 3, if they continue at the same pace / work as hard. They kind of get the hang of it and get better as time progresses.

I’ve personally not emailed any teacher in HCI yet. The only teacher I have emailed since my kids entered secondary school is my daughter’s Math teacher (she is not in NYGH).

What matters should be her own grade, as long as she’s not the D7
And ya, I wont bother the teachers unless it’s urgent or has big impact.

Not an existing TLL customer, but I know the answers to your questions because I asked at TLL front desk last time when I was considering.

Info correct as of 2019.

The NY class follows the NY sequence of topics and has additional topics that only NY does, and they only let NY students attend that class, so even if a person is interested in learning additional topics, you cant join that class.

So to answer your question, “the difference other than the curriculum” is that you will only see your schoolmates in the tuition class. So in school, you see your schoolmates, outside school, you see your schoolmates too!

Gotten my sec 2 and 4 girls results. So far so good.

About the sec 3 chem, it was disastrous last year too for the sec 3 cohort so do not need to overly worry.
