Eye Level Education Centre (aka Enopi) - Discussion

[Celyw]

Hi,

actually Enopi and MPM just focused on the workbooks right? The teachers actually did not \"teach\" anything right? I really dun like it. I visited Enopi recently and they give a test to my boy, so my boy was stuck in a question which I asked the teacher in this scenerio how are you going to teach my boy on this question. She said \"oh maybe this level is too difficult for him we will just start him off another workbook which is more to his standard\" But my boy has done afew question in that workbook already and just because he is stuck in one question she decided the level is too difficult for him instead of helping him to encounter this problem?

I asked her what is the role of the teacher in helping with creative/logical thinking? She told me to take alook at the other set of creative workbooks and see for myself the method? :? So I just buy the workbooks sufficient since no need to have the teacher around?

i do agree the teachers may not ‘teach’. but the wkbks, whr mpm or enopi wkbks are great. mpm for the creativity but it seems the topics are randomly group cos its ‘spiral’ approach, not structured, while enopi is structured, a bit like kumon drillg but the wkbks are colorful. but they dont cover topics on money and 1 more i forgot is wat.


unfortunately they dont sell the wkbks, otherwise it will be great to buy the wkbks to drill our kids and teach ourselves n save $140 a mth.

also, they are great for presch but for upp pri i m not sure cos they may not hv that kind of olympiad prob sums.

In our case, if the kids encounter a problem, the teacher will guide them. Also, if they have issues with school maths, they can also approach their teacher at Enopi.

I am totally agreed with MMM, the teacher in Enopi will go through with the children on the concept and trying to build up their confidence.


Although it is doing workbook but it is the foundation for the kids where nowadays in primary school, it is moving in the fast pace. It will destroy their confidence if they cannot understand the basic.

Yes it may appear to be worksheets after worksheets. But it builds their confidence level, speed, accuracy along the way. If the child start the program early and progress well, they are able to learn ahead.

My kids still have their own challenges eg. reading instruction, not jumping to conclusion, etc... . Passing maths is not a issue but my challenge to them is scoring good results.

Yes, the children always tend to jump to conclusion as this is the habit for majority of the children. If my children are also like that, we always really need to remind them repeatly even in our heart knowing that they can solve it easily.

Hi I’m newbie here. Have been searching for maths enrichment classes for my 4-yo and chanced upon this chain.


I received a flyer announcing a new E.nopi centre opening in Jurong East, which is near where I stay. Has anyone visited that centre? Any feedback?

Hv u spoken to the teacher why the repeated booklets?

During my #2 early days with Enopi (located @ Zhenghua CC), the teacher allowed him to skip a few booklets when she was comfortable with his ability.
