Anyone has any experience with LC English tutors at Jurong East branch? I got a \"not so good\" new teacher who was caught for not completing the workbook in class despite having only 4 children. Wondering if I should continue with the term... appreciate your feedback, thanks

Hi gaagaa,
Registered DS w JE branch in Sep. Is R a new teacher? There are only 3-4 in the class. Another Mummy was telling me the mistake R teacher had not spotted on her DS work.

Hi gaagaa & jiyou2003,

Can I know the not-so-good teacher is taking which time slot which day?
I've just signed up for my boy.

Thanks.

Hi mummy of 3,


So you will sign your child in Lcentral instead of mindstretcher? I have not make my way to Lcentral to assess my child. How was it? How do you find Lcentral?

mummy of 3:

OMG, i went for enquiry last week at JE branch. Apply for next year K2. So how is the centre? Is it good?

Hi gaagaa

Can I know if the ‘not so gd’ new teacher is from UK. I intended to sign up my DD at that centre. However, my sis told me she spotted spelling mistakes made by the teacher in my niece class, not once but few times. I was like :? This is a English class and it's supposed to be teaching them proper Eng, be it written or spoken.

Hi, Charmaine /tweetyjing,

My 5 yrs old is now with lcentral marine parade and in their PFS
Programme. She was formally from ICR advanced reading class. She is now enjoying very much and am happy with her progress even though she had only joined not long ago...the PFS programme covers oral, compo,
Compre, grammar, word order, vocal extension, word list/spelling and dictation.one example is she is able to complete the compre multiple choice questions by herself and i'm pleased as this goes to show she understands what she is reading...she is able to express in the picture compo etc...previously when she was in icr, she did a lot of reading, grammar n some writing..right now, she is exposed to a more comprehensive n structured programme and this really helps to build her confidence and enriching her skills in handling English which we are happy....I hope she will continue to progress with lcentral....

Dear HappyAvon,


Thank you for your kind feedbacks.

May i know the reason for switching your child from ICR to Lcentral? Any homework to do @Lcentral?

What kind of book is your child reading now? Is she an advance learner? Do you read with/to her daily? Or it is purely the effort of Lcentral?

My son 4.5yo reads P&J 5a. Some pages he read well some pages he could not. Overall, i will rate as 60%. He isn’t keen to read P&J.

I want to send him to Lcentral starting Jan 2011. So now i am gathering more information.

Hi charmaine, she is getting bored with ICR...will bring back a storybook with 3 simple stories to read...seems nothing new to her n so brought her to lcentral for a trial n she said she likes it..is the same centre where she is having her speech n drama..we had not been reading to her for a very long time..she is an independent reader and will choose the books she wanted to read by herself..she din enjoy P&J but prefers robin series.she reads a lot on robin series..now she reads everything if she finds the book interesting..currently she is reading magic kitten- a summer spell by Sue Bently...whenever she cannot understand any difficult words, she will tell us and we will explain....

Homework in lcentral is minimum but they have spelling list every week...this week's spelling list is middle, bundle, jungle, bottle, kettle, buckle, ankle etc..when she can read, spelling is easy peasy for them...just look thru the list once n can spell...no drilling required....

I guess the efforts goes to us...kekeke...cos we sent her for phonics class when she was 3 yrs old and we read to her every nite when she was smaller..I think early exposure is beneficial for the child if she/he enjoys it..

I went down to LCentral at jurong east yesterday. The recept told me that their centre as a whole has been set up for 2 yrs and their last yr psle passing rate was merely 34%+. they dun hv many students. I was shocked.
