Hi,
I think there’s really no one size fit all solution when it comes to learning. I have a child who went to an ex-TLL teacher who set up her own center. I thought she was doing great and she enjoyed the lessons too. However, due to timing, I have to change center. I changed her to TLL and put her under a tutor that’s been there for a long time (one of the veteran). But I was quite shocked when she came back with her TLL practice tests initially. She scored in the 70s range for most of them. Previously, in the other centre, she was scoring the 90s or high 80s. Yes, I believe TLL materials were also tougher. But I didn’t realized that the teacher also matters. I stayed with TLL and change to another teacher after 1 yr. Now, my child likes the class environment (she claims more vibrant and motivating), the teacher and enjoys the lessons. Her center test results have also since improved significantly.
In fact, I didn’t know that she wasn’t scoring well initially in TLL and thought that such results are kind of norm since TLL materials are tougher. Also, back in school, she was doing fine. So in my case, TLL does work for my child now (hoping for same teacher next yr).
But I also know of friends who pulled out the kids from TLL as they felt the kids are not doing so well. It could be the teachers, maybe. But I think their materials are good, if you want to stretch the kids a bit.

Hi,
May I know which English teacher in TLL who’s teaching your child?

You can also consider this new english tuition centre at bishan called https://thelearningtrove.com. Fees are quite reasonable at $900 for 12 lessons. Founder is Sherman Tseng, ex HOD for english at Ai Tong school, and he also used to teach at Academia in sin ming.

Dear parents. I am writing in response to the PM which I have received recently. Many of you have Pmed me regarding a post I have posted many many months ago and many of you have been asking me if my dd is still studying there.

My dds have been with the centre since two years ago. One of them who is in P6 last year did pretty well to enable her to get into IP programme in CHIJ. Thus, without any hesitation I continued with the centre for Ms Estelle helped me to push my dd up from a mere 50 plus 60 to scoring A* in PSLE.

My personal view on the centre which I have recommended would be that it is a centre suitable for parents who are looking for really delicate teachers instead of a famous centre. So far, parents there have been discussing while waiting for our dd and what I have heard are all good feedbacks. This is why, I have no hesitation recommending the centre to you as. As a parents, I truly know how \"messed up\" the current education system is and with the new stellar unit it is literally impossible for us to guide our children as they only get back their file a week before exams and I know it is frustrating as I have been through it.

I have also received Pmed telling me that the location of the centre is not accessible and that the slots are full. I hope to gain your understanding that I sent my dd there for the sake of her education. I do not drive and I have been walking from the AMK Hub to the centre for years now but I guess to individual parents it is different. As for the slot being full, I have been told since I started that they talk in maximum of only 8 students. Thus, i apologized to those whom trusted me but was disappointed by the slots issues.

I believe there are good teachers in every centre. Thus, as parents we should look at not the centre but the teachers.
