Perceptum - Discussion

[2centsworthy]

My friend stays in Bishan and find travelling to Bukit Timah challenging and want to help start a class for p5 in Bishan. They have 3 kids now and need 3 more so that they can start a class. Lesson will be taught by Mrs Ong (heard is a former JC teacher). Anyone interested please call Perceptum directly... check their website for their number... http://www.perceptum.com.sg. Sori I don't have details on time and day of intended class.

Hi,


I made an enquiry and heard the lesson is $50 plus per lesson/per subject.
I think I might have heard wrongly.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.

My son is in P5 Maths and i know per term is $550, not sure on per lesson. My son just started this year and he is enjoying it, so I am happy. Trying to put him in science too (plus my daughter in P3) but they do not have any available classes now!!!!!!

Wow, I think it's out of my budget.
Anyway, they have no vacancy for the timing I want at Bukit Timah.

Hi


Just curious on how they teach Science, since every school touch on different topic at different terms. Some do magnets first while others may do magnets in second half of the year. So how those the centre teach? :?

Thanks!

Hi


Any feedback on Perceptum’s (Bishan centre) P3 Science? Are there experiments conducted, are their notes comprehensive & teaching methodology good? What’s each class size (max) like? TIA!

i hv tried 3-4 lessons in term 1 and its below my expectations.

no experiment. just classrm based wksheets. and no notes.
not sure abt now but heard many hv pulled out.
tinkerlab is better

Thanks for feedback. Good to know.Tinkerlab is too far unfortunately.

Seems not many other good centres to consider. Any feedback on (1) Learning Lab (2) Science Buddies (Thomson) (3) Mindstretcher (Bishan)?

Thanks!

Thanks again for your feedback! Appreciate it. Guess it's always a challenge to find a good centre with so many around. Agree that when find a good one, generally what it comes down to is the teacher.

Am looking for enrichment for Science. For Chinese, I go to a private tutor's place along Bukit Timah.

Hi,


For parents with kids currently with Perceptum, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Bukit Timah is pretty far for me; but I have heard pretty good feedback about Perceptum and am really thinking of giving it a try.

Is your kid still with Perceptum. Am really considering enrolling my kid there but this would mean I need to withdraw her from her existing class and that is why I am very troubled now. Greatly appreciate your feedback on their Science programme.

The challenge with Science I think is whether the kid get the concept right is be able to apply it when the question are slightly different and therefore it is important that the teacher is able to explain the concepts clearly ... thus far ... how do you find Mrs Sim ... was she able to get the concepts across?
