Do you know anything about the Bishan branch? I heard people saying the Bishan branch is the best? Any truth in that? Btw, can you request for a particular teacher?

[sleepy]

Your son is with which teacher?

[itskryptic]

Well, Bishan is the Head Office. I can’t say that I agree that they are the best but since it’s where the Headquarters is, the place is befitting of the title as it was newly-renovated. However, my own belief is that every branch has its own set of good teachers and IMHO, wherever you go, you will get the same materials. What’s more important is that the teacher delivering them is able to bring out the child’s interest in the subject.

My son is with Mr Khairi for English and Maths, Ms Lee for Science. It’s going to be the same for PSLE year in 2011 as well.

Planning to enrol my son with MS (Woodlands Br) for science next yr (P5). Any good teacher to lookout for?? Thanks! :lol:

[gaagaa]

Does anyone knows about MS at Jurong branch? They are shifting to Jurong East (the old Jurong Primary school) in early Dec. Which teacher is good?


15 to a class is a bit too many and I wonder how the teacher is going to manage the class should there be different levels of students in the class.

Mindstretcher have been placing ads in newspaper to hire new tutors.

Always keep a lookout in the newspaper on such things cos it may mean that there’s a high turnover rate (unless they are opening a new branch).

Always keep a lookout in the newspaper on such things cos it may mean that there's a high turnover rate (unless they are opening a new branch).

it's true that they aggressively recruiting cos they're opening a new branch in dec 2010 (bukit panjang) and another one in mar 2011 (clementi). also, they're diversifying with expansion of creative writing classes at more branches, gep prep classes and an enhanced high achiever science curriculum (source: their website, their fb page and the branch that my son is at). besides, it's the end of the year and the centre is probably recruiting for the next academic year since theirs start in december. they're also looking for CS personnel to support growing operations.

from the looks of it, i think ads placed by ms in the newspapers might actually mean that they're doing well and is in need of more tutors for all its branches, not vice versa.
