Hi

My son is 15 this year. Express stream in a neighbourhood school. All along my wife and myself are very worried about his studies.
- He doesn't really do his homework. When he does it, it is very rush piece of work
- He doesn't revise his work on his own. My wife need to push him constantly.
- I am not sure whether he is worried about his studies, but we are. At the rate he is going, he will end up in ITE.
- Not confident

All these years, hard and soft approach all doesn't work. So we are thinking of sending him to a motivational course that can change their study habits and make them independent. These courses are really not cheap.

Anybody has send their kids to such course and please review.

Thank you!

Sounds like my son, although I don't my wife pushed him at all

It's already the end of March now. Kind of late to get started.

I was at my wits end and by December just before his Sec 4, I contacted Chryl Peterson, the lady who was one of the early founders of Mindchamp. We worked out a plan where she would use English literature as an excuse to work on him, and I would send him for about 2hours every week to her house where she has converted her basement as a classroom. I don't remember what I paid, but it wasn't cheap. But at the end of the year, he scored a surprising 9 points for his GCE O Levels when I was expecting something in the 20s. So I guess it was worth every cent
