This is would be my first time toying with the idea of sending my son to a centre for Math and English. Any one has ever send their children to any of the Kip McGarth centre? How was it like? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

kitty2: well perhaps this means we have to try on our own and take our chances. I will be arranging to visit one of the centre and see how it goes from there.
Will post my feedback then

May I know which level is your child? How is your child study? Personally I won't recommend Kip McGrath. Their system is like 5-6 students per session. And all could be doing different level/subject. Now u imagine. Each session is 90min. U divide 90 min by 5. That is 18 min per student! U tell me how is that even possible for any learning to take place?

Also, they claim that their tutor are NIE trained. But it doesnt mean that a Pri Sch teacher can teach Sec students or a Sec teacher can teach Pri students. It is quite different unless they have the experience in doing so.

Materials wise, a lot of them are from Australia. Now, I believe you would be better off buying assessment books in this instances.

Just my opinion. Maybe other parents who have more positive experience care to share their experience here?

Hi, anyone kids in KipMcgrath. Any feedback please. Just call the new centre at Nanyang. The staff said that the maximum students is 5 per class. Sounds good but not sure about their standard

My child took maths from Kip Mcgrath Tampines Blk 201. On the first day of my daughter’s lesson, i forgot to bring along my cheque book. The lady looked at me and requested " where’s your balance payment" in an unfriendly and loud tone. I was totally shaken by her voice. On the first day of lesson, my child enjoys the lesson so much! It was great and interesting but Week after week, the subject became drier and most of the time, she was asked to do her work but with very little supervision. I reakon that’s not my child’s preferred learning style and I would say the whole experience was quite unpleasant. After this episode, i became wiser in my selections of teachers/Tuition Centres.
