Does anyone has any comments on the \"comprehension and creative writing\" class at ICR? DD had completed their ICR level already, so wondering if should continue with ICR or change to other centres...any advise?

I would also like to know too... dd will also be completing her icr soon.
Is the comprehension & creative writing course good? Do they have alot of homework and how much is it?

DD just started her first lesson there...homework is to write a short composition with 5 words for spelling. Wondering if this is too much for her age?

My dd is p1, so for her, i think its ok. how long is the course and what is the cost per term?

Any comments at ICR Katong??

[junemum72]

I have a fren whose kid is also at ICR and she told me she is particularly not happy with the fact that the class always start 5mins later and ends at least 10 mins earlier. She has since withdrawn her son from the centre.


Anyone has the same issue at other centres?

How about the branch at CP Yishun? Are the teachers there good?

Any comments at ICR Katong??

DS used to be in ICR katong, i had withdraw him to ICR Simei which he learned for 1 yr
reason being, the teacher resigned without informing, and they assigned a Indian relief teacher. After 3 weeks, I asked them they cant give me any confirmation whether there is any permanent teacher. The Indian relief teacher wasn't what I expected and on the 3rd lesson, first time DS doesnt want to go into the class. Later I found out is because he doesnt understand her english.

So we withdraw him to ICR Simei. We are lucky to have teacher lilian. she's a very caring teacher. I ever heard a parent (from china) said that her DS (Pri 1) scored 20+ in his english, after being taught by teacher lilian his marks went up to 70+ and she even bought a big present for her on teacher's day.

If you are staying in the east, you should try ICR Simei

Hi Jessica, thanks for your feedback. When did you withdraw DS from Katong? I was there enquiring several mths ago and asked for the teachers available there but I didnt hear an Indian name. All are native speaking teachers...

Thanks Jessica.


During the time where your DS was still at Katong, did they start and leave punctually?

I was told Katong is not but heard comments abt Sengkang that they are ok, ie start and leave on the dot.

My kid is in sk branch icr level. So far I dun face this problem but I do see sm teachers dismissin 5 mins b4 lesson end. Think it depends very much on the individual teacher. For my case I always need to wait 5-10 mins b4 they release the class.
