JEI/PSLE Math - Discussion

fanbing:

After much research and after a few free trials in several centres :oops: , I finally signed up with JEIPsle. My DS feel its worksheets is more challenging and he feel comfortable in the class and the teacher. The environment is not bad, don't look like tuition centre. After his lesson, his teacher also give me a brief of what was taught and area which she will focus in next lesson.


My DS tell me the centre is now doing something call select papers which is a collection of common questions students make mistakes. Sound like a good method to prepare for exams. I hope this will give him a last minute boost for SA2.

I also just signed up my dd at the AMK branch. My impression is that the teachers are pretty delicated. The class size is small (max 5) which I think is good for kids who need more coaching especially. After every lessons the teacher will come out and brief the parents individaully what the kids have done during the lessons. They also provide free revision lessons for coming sa2. So hope to see some improvement in my dd sa2, though I don't expect much as only join them recently...

Vlim,

My DS is with Marine Parade branch. Not aware about the free revision class. I will checkout. They did give out past year papers as homework. Even during the trial they gave it to my DS. And during the actual lesson they also give. My DS say he will have to do one as homework every week until end of SA2.

The centre manager is Michelle. I find her very helpful and detail. One customer tell me she is very popular among the older students. Too bad she don't teach P4 on weekends. Which level is yr DD in?

Marine Parade branch is in a building opposite parkway parade. It is really a mad house there. The lift is crowded all the time and the carpark is a long queue to get in. When I was at jei it was ok until during the change of class time, it is chaotic, the students changing class, the teachers briefing the parents. I ask a parent, is it normal? She say, wait 10 min all will be quiet again. Indeed she is right.

My advise, if mummies have time on weekday, should sign up on weekdays.

Hi vlim, nice to 'see' you here! I am planning to sign up math tuition for my DS2 next year (too late for this year liao) and I am considering JEI or Concept Math. How do you find JEI? Good for playful kids like my DS2?

I am also sourcing for Eng, Chi & Sci tuition for DS2 next year (comparing with his gor gor who did not have any tuition except this year P6 for Eng only, sigh!).

Hi firefly 38,
We meet again Hahaaa ! I think its plus point is small class size and teachers are delicated. I haven't visited concept maths before so no comment abt it. I think u got to pay a visit to both centers if u want to find out whether which suits your kids better...

[/quote]i went to concept math once, by chance (to pass something to a friend's son who was having tuition there).. i met janice and spoke to her.. she seemed very passionate about teaching and was very friendly, she even showed me the sample worksheets and explained to me in detail how her teachers would conduct the lessons..

i havent been to jei/psle math yet (i mean inside, but have seen it from outside as i used to bring my kids to blk163 to see dr. ng).. i will drop by to take a look, maybe after DS2's SA2 exam..

maybe our kids may be classmates at JEI next year..

Hi fanbing

I am also looking around for Maths enrichment classes for my P6 DD. Looks like JEI has some good feedback. Could I know which centres you have compared with JEI?

Hi Homeworkmummy,


Sorry for the late reply. SA2 is as busy for children as also for me. Anyway, I finally can take a little break over Deepavali. Ok, I had checkout mindstretcher, Growan, TLL, Concept math and Just. Finally, I narrowed the choice to TLL and PSLEMath. In generally most of them has student teacher ratio I am not comfortable with. Some I did not explore further also because no free trial. DS had a assessment with TLL but there wasn;t any constructive feedback. Whole process very corporate. The plus is my DS say the assessment is tough. Another plus is the track record. It seem like everyone in TLL also get A star for PSLE. I finally choose PSLEMath because I think the material or programme is structured in a manner I find make sense, the teacher student ratio (max 6 to 1 teacher) and also cheaper than TTL. Hope that help.

Choosing PSLEMath does not mean I am saying other programme is no good. Each one got its own strength. It quite hard to make a decision actually. I am one who will take a long time to research. After signing up, I am usually quite \"loyal\" unless some really negative event happens. At the end of the day, its about which criteria is most important to us. In my case, programme need to make sense and student per class ideally should not be more than 5. So far haven't found one like that yet. PSLEMath is close tho'.

[/quote]Hi Fanbing

thank you so much for the detailed information. Now it's between TLL, Concept Maths and JEI for me. It's a crucial year for my girl (P6), so I really have to make sure I make the right choice.

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

hi Yong HL and all kiasu parents,

Can i check wif you on JEI AMK's fees? i have 2 gals going P1 & P3 nxt year. My P3 gal is also not very gd in concepts and analysing on math problems. Am trying to source for a gd tutoring centre for them.

TIA
