hi parents, any feedback on mind stretcher primary 3 mathematics class? Our child is studying there now & receives a lot of homework and is rather stressed. Any recommendations on good tuition centres or home tutor in sembawang?[/quote]

Well, sometimes, it is very difficult to meet all parents' expectations. Some parents want more homework for the kid to practice, but some just want to keep them occupied in the centre, any may be just help in answering school homework.

Established centres usually have common worksheets for all students, so everyone will get the same, whether you can complete or not.

Go to a smaller neighborhood centre or private tutor, tell them your expectation.

As a Math Olympiad trainer, I don't give homework because I will let them solve all questions during session time, and go thru each one with them. The problem with homework is that you don't know whether they get help from who or where.

I have a student from one centre, and the parents asked for homework. At the end, it was done by the parents. I knew, because it was not her handwriting, and she happily told me that.

It’s been a long time since anybody talked about TLL. They are now very different from maybe 5-8 years ago, when the bulk of students in many top schools are all TLL students. Now you can only find a few kids in each class who still go for TLL, and rarely for math.

Hello iwork, sorry not a regular visitor to this forum.
Nicklebee is charging $125/hr per student with max 4 students in the group. It's a 2hrs class, so each lesson is $250.

That's a clever pricing strategy. Attracts those who judge quality by price. They won't ever get a lot of customers, but those few who are desperate enough to pay will feed them sufficiently to carry on the show.

A liitle too late but if u guys are looking for good math enrichment programmes, i highly recommend myfirstskool. They provide worksheets that help students think and apply math concepts more effectively. My daughter said she enjoys answering the worksheet because it has vivid colours, pictures, and graphs! They also have topics about SG’s food economy and personal diet! These worksheets are awesome! Highly recommend!~

Well, I was wondering why I find the message so familiar.

Hi wiww78, i do have a math tutor whom i think is very good. My first two kids \"graduated\" under her, and my last kid is currently under her as well. Recommended my friend last year as SOS her kid was on the verge of failing (primary 6) and this tutor managed to pull her grades up in the last half a year! Can PM me if you'd like her contact. But not very sure if she's still accepting in Mar-Apr.
