I'm wondering why no one mentioned My Think Tank. My colleague was very happy with the centre in Bt Timah but i wanted to hear others' feedback b4 i decide. Any one has any comments abt My Think Tank?

My Think Tank is good

My DD (K2) has been with My Think Tank for nearly 4mths and I'm pleased with their teaching so far. Her teacher is very patient and committed. What I like is their concept and foundation teaching, which prep her well for P1. Also, their classes is conducted in small group size (5 to 7) so can be more focus.

My Think Tank also conduct enrichment classes at some schools, i.e. NYPS, SCGS, PLMGS & etc.

Necessity can be subjective

The primary benefit of Math Olympiad enrichment is to expose students to non routine (meaning not commonly encountered in the school syllabus) maths questions, and to hone their problem solving skills.

Nowadays, some teachers might set some exam questions based on old math olympiad questions, especially the \"killer questions\" on exam papers.

Maths olympiad is by definition enrichment, so even if (most) schools \"teach\", they might teach only to select few. In the past its used to be for the students in maths club only.
Or hire external vendors to teach.
Hope this helps :).

Dear parents


Does any anyone has any experience with Andrew er’s maths centre? Any recommendations on your experience with good maths tuition centre for P3?

I understand about the predicament students are ensnared in, and yes, the difficult maths questions are to be blamed. But employers don’t see your PSLE results, they only see your highest educational qualification. If the results are execrable, then forget about it. There is no point being troubled by the past.
