      Dino mummy:
      Are ur kids with LC Bukit Timah? Yah, we can see results when the kids are with chinese enrichmt classes but not so for English. It is so tiring sourcing for a english class...moreover, the class has to be in weekends and can't clash with his existing chinese classes and near my area...So, will you recommend LC?

      They are with LC Kovan.

      I cannot conclude at this point. I don't think I will pull them out now. But if there is another course that is more effective, I will consider changing. There are some kids in their class that has been with LC for a couple of years and doing well in school.

      For my K2, I will let her continue with their success 1program.

      So we are still monitoring. Eg. this time round, I handed the kids' CA 2 papers to the teachers and requested their help to review and help identify which is their problem areas that we can work on.

      It's really frustrating because for the other 3 subjects, I think they can make it and get decent scores. Just this EL that feel so helpless. I give them EL assessment papers to do at home as well.

          Hi,

          Thanks for all the interesting feedback on LC. I am still wondering whether I should enrol my elder daughter (P4) to LC BT or Morris Allen. She is now having private tuition but I would most likely stop it as I can’t see improvements and private tuition is very costly.

          MMM,
          I see that your elder kid is in P4. Would you recommend the centre?

          I would most likely bring my girl for assessment tonight and enroll her if I am satisfied. Appreciate if any of you could send me the necessary details to obtain the discount.

          Thanks

                    Hi Dino,

                    I haven’t looked at ICR but I felt that it was more for younger kids, so didn’t look into it.

                    MMM,
                    Thanks for your feedback. Most likely will try LC since it is closer to my place and cheaper too!

                    Otherwise, really understand your frustration since I am having the same dilemna. It is very difficult to see progress in English language.

                    Cathy
                    Thanks for your PM.

                      Hi MMM

                      Thks for your views.
                      can pm me the details as I intend to start him this sat. He went thru’ the assessment last sunday and will join current Pri 3 afternoon class. LC said there is only 1 kid in this Pri 3 class, so i tink it is value for money 😆

                        Hi Ladies,

                        Just wanted to update you that I haven’t gone to LC since I decided instead to enrol a private English tutor. Hope I am making the correct decision!

                        Thanks for all your valuable feedback.

                        Dinomummy
                        I think it is a good deal too! It is like a one to one private tuition at a fraction of the costs. But unlike private tuiton, you can’t cancel or reconvene tuition if you are planning to take leave during school holidays. Just my 2 cents worth.

                        Let us know how your kid enjoys the class.
