      hihi,


      I believe they will be using the vocab book for the mid/upper primary going forward. They do have a grammar book but thatโ€™s only sold to TAS students. BTW, spelling lists come from their spelling book.

              I have not had the chance to buy the vocabulary book. Anyone bought it yet? How is it?

                Hi I have a P1 child fr 2012.


                I am looking for English and Math tuition
                Can anyone share which is a better branch for TAS?
                Do they use same materials for all their branches and how about teachers?

                As for Math, I am thinking, Andrew Er, Fabian Ng, TLL and Concept Math. Anyone can share? Or if there is a ctr that offers both Eng and Math - then can save travelling time

                Many tks in adv

                  It is good! Before every vocab ex, there will be notes on the words. In the notes, the children can learn the meaning, the mnemonics (how to remember it) and the usage of the word. I find this very useful and the words they use are rather close in meaning so it helps the children to differentiate between synonyms.

                    TAS does not do Math, some of their teachers travel to the different centres. All should be using the same materials and teachers are trained to teach in the same way.


                    For Math, I have not personally tried all the centres that you have mentioned but I heard
                    good feedback from my friends for Concept Math and Andrew Er.

                      Based on your list, prob TLL is the only thumbs up centre for both subjects you looking at ๐Ÿ™‚
