Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[angel64]

For me, ,my 2 boys are from British Council. K2 for my elder boy was good. I can tell the teacher really put in effort. But for my younger boy last yr in K1, I find the teacher not as good.


After much consideration and the fees we forked out, I decided to withdraw them.

When I found out about CH, one of the teachers there was formally teaching GP in my JC. Spoken to her and another teacher, in fact this school is opened by ex school teachers.

And i surveyed on a few forums, indeed feedback was positive. So I decided to sign up.

After first lesson, my boys did enjoy their classes. I hope it will boost their English Language, especially the application portion of it.

Angel64, I am pretty sure your boys will benefit from the programme in CH. My daughter was there for P5 programme and she thoroughly enjoyed the lessons there. Another plus point is the small class size.

I also like the idea of teaching the kids skills to tackle the different components.
Great for younger kids who have time to work on developing the right skills and techniques to answering English questions.
However after going through the course structure for P6, I was a bit skeptical if it will be sufficient for P6 preparation as P6 prep involves quite a fair bit of drilling, grilling and practice.
So with great reluctance I pulled her out of CH.

look for "Creative Writing" enrichment courses.


DS is with iCreative Learner since P1. We are quite happy with the outcome. I do not know whether they are considered high end or not, and they do not provide money back guarantee.

I dont thk established centres practise this "money back guarantee" scheme.

Any comments to TAS Bukit Timah center? Seems most good comments on AMK center.

hi totoroi,


The 3 centres all run by TAS - no franchising. A lot will hinge on where you stay (ie which one is most convenient to get to). I have only seen the classrooms in Bt Timah and AMK - they are quite the same on the inside. and of course, which teacher is the one teaching.

Else to me, no difference in the centres.

Thanks hquek. I will bring my child to Bt Timah center tomorrow evening. If she is OK for the course, I will register. And do you know how to get referral discounts?
