[I heard that TLL requires students to take entrance test...and guaranteed fabulous passing rate...also chooses students.

I thought as long as parents are willing to pay...all tuition centres' doors are always open.

this one super stuck up......

I thot tuition is meant only for weak students??? :?[/quote]The learning lab is definitely not for weak students. For english courses, their standards are much higher than most primary schools. I've heard of teachers transferring from NYGH to TLL as a full time english teacher. Furthermore, TLL accept students based on their academic results, and my daughter had been on the waiting list for more than a year before being accepted into the centre.

Tuition itself also doesnt mean that the student is weak. Many singapore students have tuition in order to learn ahead of the syllabus so that its easier for them to handle the school curriculum. There's also tuition for math olympiad, and GEP preparation courses for students with higher abilities.

TLL is not your norm enrichment centre. They choose students based on the schools they attend...I find it hard to believe that too. Like most parents, we would think that kids attend enrichment to get better results...but this centre accepts kids who have good results b4 taking them. Teachers there are highly paid too. TLL has a very comprehensive creative compo writing program too...that's what I understand.

she is taking english at TLL, only this subject her dad and me cannot support her...but for TLL specialises subject, i'm no very sure. i think english is very enrichment, this week's homework, is individual presentation in power point.

Wow that's very advanced! Powerpoint presentation at Pri 3!!

Your child will have opportunities to do PPT presentations in P3 in PH.
BTW, what is TLL?[/quote]TLL starts Presentation in P1. However, you do have a choice of whether to use POwerpoint or just present normally.

Generally, they take in the top 10-15% of the cohort. For P1 becasue some sch do not have exams, students are required to take a selection test. For P2 onwards, can use the report book .. I think.

For those with kids going to P2, may I know they will be using the Border Line or Single line exercise book? I have lost the booklist.


Thank in advance.
