Hi, i send my son to the creative writing class at Thinkers Education. Its at Roxy Square Marine Parade area. I think the instructor is experienced in creative writing classes. The materials are well organised and useful. Best of all, they teach in a progressive and systematic approach, fron simple sentences to complicated ones, power vocab, proverbs, brainstorming to mindmapping. others i've went to didnt do a really good job as they just ask my son to memorise the words and force him to use it in his composition. I'm currently quite satisfied with this one and i can see significant improvements in my kid's essay writing. Interested, do let me know and i will give the contact details.

brucel26, can PM me the contact? TIA!

Hi brucel26, could you PM me the name of the instructor that teaches yr son?

Just a word of caution. When I googles, the thinkers education blog is set up by brucel who appears to be promoting it here as a parent.

Thanks ksme for the heads-up.

Actually parents should be mindful when people post such comment \"Interested, do let me know and i will give the contact details\".

Do consider with \"a pinch of salt\". I rather hear advise from old timer in the forum.

Dear parents, I would like my ds to take up English lessons with TAS. However, they have a few P1/P2 classes only. After checking with them over the weekend, they are willing to open a new class as long as we have 4 students of the same level. The available schedule is Pri 1- 2 Thursday 4 - 6pm at Ang Mo Kio. Please let me know asap if you are interested. If you are keen but cannot make it on the Thursday’s time-slot, please let me know what your preferred timings are. I would consolidate the info and discuss with TAS if they could open a new class for us. Please feel free to contact TAS directly if you have any queries on their courses (it is quite difficult to contact them as their lines are only opened at certain times of the day but you could get a lot of info by reading what TAS & other parents have written in this forum). I certainly look forward to my ds starting with TAS soon! Thanks.

I am keen to send my girl to TAS but I am only able to do it on Sat mornings 9am to 11am. Any parents keen?

Hi coast,


I am also interested to let my child join TAS. But i cant make it for weekday classes, do they have other classes on weekends? I also heard very good reviews from a friend whose son is in their P4 class and also from the forum. The last time I called them, the class that I want is full

Hi,

I wanted to change my slot to another timing. But from what I know sat morning there is no P1/2 class. But when I asked if there will be more classes, they said that they are opening up a class on Sat afternoon, 2.15 pm - 4.15 pm. But it is now between P1/2 or P2/3. For your child, he or she will be P1/2 or P2/3?

[concern]

I do not mind sending my gal for weekday evening class but I can only make it if the class start from 7.30pm onwards.

Hi,


Why do you all mention that Creative Horizons Language Centre is good? Are they effective in enouraging children to read/write or it’s any other tuition centre using assessment book during their lesson? Are their charges expensive?

Thanks for sharing…
