Smurfette3,

You are correct. I called them and they do not sell to non TAS students.
Non TAS student only able to get it at Popular. They will launch it by the end of the year.

Do you know roughly when they will launch it at Popular? I would like to get before the SA2.

[Monster Mummy]

I do not think it will be able to launch before SA2. Because from my understanding with the admin, it mentioned by end of year and currently, they are still in negotiation.

[worriedmumz]

Oh I hope that they can release it earlier. I heard it is a very good creative writing book.

Hard to find good creative writing books at Popular. Most of them their writing quite
standard.

Hquek, thank you for your recommendation. I have that book also. It is not bad.
Is it the one with the white cover?

seems like all going to AMK branch…not many at bt. timah… hope teachers there will be as good as AMK…

[Monster Mummy]

Actually, I think because AMK location is quite centralised. As for the teachers in the centre, they also teach in these location at different timing.

[cheetian]

oh that is good to hear that because think i read in a thread that TAS has undergrads teachers in Bt. Timah…so quite worried will get one of them. AMK seem to be it’s like the HQ for TAS so maybe all the best teachers are there …hahaha…

[Monster Mummy]

I think some of the teachers there are the undergraduates. Of course, the first impression, you might worry that they are not able to teach and control the children. But I find that most of the young teachers there are able to engage the children in the class.


Of course, not all the children would able to fit into the programme. Therefore, maybe it would be advisable for you to send your child for a trial first and decide.

hi worriedmumz,


Yes, there’s one or two with white cover. there are other series in brown colour (kemit series, libbit series, whatever).

hi cheetian,


DS1 is being taught by an undergrad, but her lessons are engaging and she’s very encouraging. So I have no qualms about continuing with her, and would hope that if DS2 goes there, he can get her (or someone like her).

[hquek]

And, DS1 had to miss class some time ago, and had a make up session under another teacher. Was a good chance for him to try someone else…result? he still likes his usual teacher.
