So he attended both TLL and MS? That's a lot of tuition. Or maybe he attended just one semester and the tuition centres are quickly jumping on the bandwagon to claim him as their student.

And ALex Tan is listed in the Han Language centre promotional materials too.

The one who is really the gifted one and seems to need no tuition is his classmate Sheldon (amazing that he has diploma in piano and violin, achieved \"O\" Level A for Maths and Additional Maths, and is actually 1 year younger than his peer!). I really hats off :salute: to this one.

He is the eldest. He should hv a younger sibling ( sister I believe) entering P1 next year.

Last year PSLE top scorer is Rosyth GEP student. He joined Mind Stretcher Learning Centre High Achiever class in Serangoon (meant for GEP student).

I saw Alex's name in last year TLL's graduate lists.

AT was at MS for science subject.

I agree. Sheldon is definitely more impressive. In fact , right at the start of last year , the press was talking abt Sheldon & another bright student Muhammad Farhan Abdullah Zain . Besides being one of the national tops @ 275 in PSLE , this guy has also achieved 5A*s and 1 A in the IGCSE ( O level ) and an A for GCE A-level maths.

At the end of the PSLE 2010, Alex T emerged at the national champ. Dark horse ?

Here's the link to the news on Muhammad Farhan Abdullah Zain ...

Last year, Rosyth had indeed produced many gifted students ! Hope this school will continue to do likewise for years to come. Hee hee.

Very interesting. I like how he needed no prodding or tutoring.


Asked DS tonight what he hopes to get out of GEP- \"What I am learning now in the mainstream programme , I already knew from reading before, so I hope to be challenged in the GEP. I hope to go deeper into the topics and to have a more exciting time and a better education.\"
