Thanks for all the feedback abt TAS. May I know how old is yr child? My son is P2 this year has been attending compo writing class but he doesn't seem to 'apply' what he has learnt in his school compo, at least I dun see the phrases that he write in his compo enrichment class. I wonder is he too 'young' to know how to apply or how should we 'enlighten' him?

My child is P2. U can arrange a trial class with the center and see if your child like it.

Hi honeybeel,


Who is your child’s teacher? I am considering trying TAS for classes next year.

Monster Mummy:

Yes, I agreed with quirkymum with the composition. Initially, they got a number of the memorisation to do but after a while, once they get the hang of it, the children will able to write out. Of course, this take time for them to get the hang of it.


As always, we would say that the course will depend on the individual children on how fast they can absorb and like the class or not.

I totally agree. My child started since early this year. Her cOmpo improved tremendously after 1/2 year. I can see her compo with many good phrases and vary sentence structure. Yes, they will be given different phrase to be use for different settings, and they are ask to memorize, but they will incorporate method to help the children to memorise. After a while, they will get a hang of it. The idea just flow out so smoothly.

For compre, they do teach technique to tackle the diff question such as open end question.

The teachers may be young, but they are dedicated and engaging.
So far I am happy with my child's progress.

Can I enquire which center is your child attending AMK or Bukit Timah? My younger DS is also P2 and I am looking around for a English class for her.

[honeybeel]

My child is attending the class at Bukit timah branch.

Both my DS were in BC before and though they enjoyed the lessons, their focus is not on exams but more enrichment. The exposure is great but I do not see any improvement in eng results.


Anyone has children in MS for math and science? I jus signed them up but since its jus the beginning if they are not good I can still quickly change. It took me a long queue to get them registered if they are not as good as speculated then really disappointing.

I have had friends whose kids are with MS for Sci and math and heard the lessons were fun…
