Hi forever_kiasu

My girl is in P1 and she is with the amk branch. Her teacher is Rebecca who is also the branch manager.
Both my girl and myself like it there so far. In fact, i find their teaching method very flexible eg i can highlight to them the topics which i find it hard to teach my girl or she is weak in and they can take it from there. very customised i will put it

Thanks for the feedback! This will be very helpful. :thankyou:

[quote=\"coolit\"]How will they customize the learning? This sounds good!

ok, in my case, i had this problem of teaching multiplication & division last term to my girl. But she has not touched on this for her JEI maths workbook. So I told the teacher i couldnt teach and ask for her help. So she stopped the JEI maths workbook and taught my girl the multiplication/division concepts for the entire lesson. It kind of relieves me then she goes back to her JEI maths book the next lesson. So its not those \"ask after the end of the class type\"

Hi Yong HL,

That is really customized! Just wondering if they do this, would it affect the pace of the class in general?[/quote]No it wont coz in the 1st place, every student in the same class will be doing different workbooks based on the diagnosis test. For P1 and below, its 100% JEI Maths (meaning doing JEI maths workbooks based on the diagnosis test, so everyone will be doing different topics books although they are in the same class). Its only from P2 onwards where a certain time will be used doing JEI maths workbook and another certain time doing integrated programme (where ALL students in the class stop their JEI maths and do the same problem solving session together, from what i understand).
I kind of like this approach coz there is no time wasted on topics where kids already adequately equipped and to tackle the areas they are weak in

I am keen to know more from mummies here who have kids in this centre. I am still a little confused of what JEI/PSLE Maths can offer.


My son will be going Pri 1 next year. Am i right to say that for Pri 1 standard, he will only learn JEI which does not cover problem sums? For JEI, what will he be learning?

For lower pri - they will take JEI only?
For upper pri - they will learn JEI/PSLE Maths?

Anyone knows what is the course fee for Marine Parade centre?

Hi junemum72

For P1 and below, only JEI maths workbooks. Supplementary worksheets for problem sums will be given too. It will not be conducted according to the pace of primary school syllabus but more on focusing on your child's weak areas based on diagnosis test when you register. For me, besides attending JEI maths, i also let my girl do assessment books at home according to school's pace. Should i meet with any problem where i cant teach, I will seek her JEI teacher's help and she is willing to help me teach.

For P2 and above, its JEI maths workbook + Intergrated Programme (problem solving session). Not able to tell you more on this as my girl currently in P1 class.

Thanks Yong. I will email the centre directly to check further.

My son is currently learning abacus and I worry that he may lack the problem solving skills thats why i am pleased to chance upon this discussion.

These days seem so stressful for the kids and parents. As much as I would like him to enjoy a stress-free childhood, i don't think its possible given at how fast the pace is now in today's society.
