If anyone can recommend me any good PSLE intensive holiday program for English (especially Compre/Cloze/Vocab) which your relatives or friends have experienced, do let me know. Can pm me. There's many in the market but not sure how effective they are. My dd is weak in English and I thought of using the coming hols to boost her up.

Learning Point :

Beating the PSLE English Blues for Pri Sixes(Ref:BPE02) S$280 (5-days)

I went to Kent Ridge Tutor at next to Lot 1. Teacher Shah went back to India. I like her contents of the intensive course. Now the teacher is Winnie, Shah’s friend. And Winnie’s contents is not on stategies which I am interested in.

Orchard & Goldhill too far.

Carolinesg- What kind of strategies are you looking for? Maybe can learn from you too!

I remember last time I saw Teacher Shah’s format on PSLE Intensive English is something like:
1) How to tackle cloze passage
2) How to answer comprehension / skills in answering comprehension
3) What are the things to look out for (ie grammar, compo)
So I am looking for something like that, not just doing doing doing.

Carolinesg…Thanks for info. GlobalEnglish is 1.5 hours x 5 wkdays or 1 hr 45 min on Sat/Sun for 2 weekends. According to the person who answered the call, they cover Compre/Cloze/1 set of Vocab during each lesson. Have yet to talk to the teacher…

Hi,

Anyone has experience with Norman Tien Math Tuition Center ? They are conducting PSLE Math intensive program this June Holiday. Quite pricy. Can share experience if your child attended before.

Thanks

I heard that Norman is quite good but not sure whether he is the one that will be teaching. How much is the intensive hol program? Mathshub @ Bukit Batok is about $400+ for 2 weeks.

I've make an enquiry with them yesterday. Quite expensive. $1800 for 5 full day session. Not too sure worth paying.

what is the results that they are guaranteeing ? And intensive Maths for 5 days ? I don't think the child can take it. Is it 5 continuous days ?

BTW, I remembered last year when my son was in P6, there was somebody organizing such programs and he uses RI campus for it. It was popular and cost about 100+, for 1 day lesson. This was done on a yearly basis, after the Prelims and before the PSLE. So he will take all the current year Prelims Maths paper from the top schools and use them in the class.
