I stay in PR also, find it hard to find. I have tried I-creative learner, they are home based but limited seats. Kent Ridge at White Sand, they only have creative writing from P4 onward. Winnie is the teacher, she is a script writer, quite impressive right. My kid is only P3 so cant join them.

Ya, i have difficulty find creative writing in the east too.

Have any of you tried of The Alternative Story ctr? If yes, how is your child coping with it. Appreciated, if you can share.

We have been sending my son to British Council. I think the emphasis is different. The mode of teaching is more on general knowledge, overall, not just creative writing or a specific area academically but overall. This is our opinion. You can try.


So next year my son is going P4. We found some tuition centres neighbourhood. We live in Tampines. There’s one centre in Sun Plaza claim to conduct creative writing. Is the Kent Ridge good?

thanks again.

Hi,

My child is at The Alternative Story, we joined not too long ago, about a month..can't say much about results improvement cos only been a month here but we like it a lot. The teacher is very engaging and my child whose attention span is quite short can focus and learn for 2 hours and he comes back always excited to share what he learns. I notice that his resistance to doing Compre and Compo is less too.

In the past, he would drag his feet to complete a compo or compre but now he is quite excited to do one. What impresses me is how the teacher has managed to instill in him this enthusiasm...

I feel that the teachers really believe in the kids too and they always seem very happy to see them. When my boy first went, the teacher told the others that he was new and to welcome him into the class too....I was touched by this gesture as teachers would usually focus on the teaching part and not the emotions of the kids but the teacher understood that the child being new would feel a bit out of place. So overall I am very happy with The Alternative Story.

The Yishun branch is moving to AMK early next year. They also rent rooms to teach in the East in Singapore Post Centre (Paya Lebar MRT, I think). You can contact them directly to check.

I have checked the website schedule for Singapore post Centre. They do not have class for P4 level.
