2centsworthy,38pllus or any parents with children in Perceptum


I would appreciate more feedback about classes at BTSC, specificially the SCIENCE programmes.
- Why do you think Perceptum lessons made a difference ?
- Do they do experiments during the lessons ? Or discussions ? Or Worksheets ?
- The 3 lead teachers will conduct the lessons or are there other part-time/full-time tutors ? So far, do you experience any teacher turnover ?

Thanks very much.

add 1 more question:-
- Are they patient with hyper children?

I think it really depends on the child too. My ds1 was doing science & math, both under Mrs Sim. He got A* for both for PSLE.


My p5 boy, started this year with mrs sim for science. From 71 in science last year p4 to just barely pass this year. *sigh*.

Phankao, thanks for sharing.
For such a case, did the center or Mrs Sim feedback what went wrong and what else could be done ? So you going to pull your boy out ? but PSLE next year right ?

Actually Mrs Sim didn't even reply me after asking me to scan and email the exam paper over. *fume*. Even after I said I was extremely worried.

*sigh*. But I don't know where else to send him. He has been *sacked* by several tutors already.

wah, like that ?! 2011 PSLE and their own student !
I would expect they should give some help/advice to you so that you and child can maximise this Nov/Dec to do everything you can.

I understand their class fees is not cheap ?
Given their high profile, I expected more regular feedback and help even with the weaker students. Is that the case ? Or they are too fully stretched ?

its $45 per lesson (2hr) for p3 . not sure for p5 or p6

hi phankao,


was ur #2 a weaker child to start with in terms of foundation compared to #1? i was hopeful of perceptum but i guess if the sch is too popular, the quality may be affected.


what abt Mr Kevin Lee? did u try him for math?
is he good?

Those parents who sent their kids to perceptum for math tuition - - how did ur kids fare for psle math ?
