Hi I hv been sending my son to Joyce Sim Learning Centre for his English enrichment in Tampines St 21 since K2. I find it rather beneficial for him coz he learns to read and write better. He also learns to speak more clearly now through corrections made by Ms Joyce Sim in a steady and progressive manner. Tks

Hi dearzen,


Exact same situation as yours!

DS in N2. Although it states that they will have their Phonics taught this year, I wld rather have him in a specialised phonics class.

I rmb attending this Phonics class when I was a kid; cldn’t really rmb the age but was somewhere btwn K1 to Pr1. It was at the old John Little at Somerset and was taught by ‘Ang Moh’ teachers. They had rhymes and such and it really improved my spoken English tremendously!

Have browsed through this topic and not much suggestions for the school of choice… I think it also depends on your budget, location and whether you are a fan of private or branded schools. Did a bit of research and a year’s fees may total up to $3k at some schools like BC and LW.
