My DD had been attended the Writer Tool Box for a year. After one year ,think off quitting. I think the lesson does not help much and boring.The children are giving some helping words and good phrases to write the compo. And make them to copy the modal compo. All these we can just buy a few good books from Popular and make our kids to memories and practise the same way at home.I think most important is looking at how the teacher marked the works. I only see a few tick on the papers, hardly any correction on grammar or sentence structure. And the marks % given had been the same for quite sometimes. So what is the problems and weakness of the child?? Actualy I would like my DD learn from mistakes, but looks like the teacher just do her routine job, try to finish 12 compo ASAP !
Its really IMPOSSIBLE to have any make up lessons regardless what reason you gives. The answers always THERE IS NO AVAILABLE SLOT even though there is, or THIS IS OUR SCHOOL POLICY. :frustrated: -

I think it all depends on the individual. For my DD, MS Maths did not suit. So we quit. But for my friend's DD, it works fine. She is doing well. Same class and same teacher as my DD.

But my DD enjoys writer's toolbox programme. And her teacher is quite good. She corrects all the mistakes and even tell her how she can improve.
I agree getting the replacement class is not easy.
My friend told me that if we want individualized attention, we should not go for well-established centres. She enrolled her daughter with Just education and she quit after one and half year.
PS: I dont have any shares with MS It is just my own view. -
hi HAPPYH,
any idea why yr friend’s daughter quit “Just Education” after 1.5 yrs ?
between “MindStretcher” and “Just Education”, which one you feel is better for P1, P2 (eng, maths) ? -
HAPPYH,
I think that depend who is the teacher and how she / he marks.
You are lucky to get a good teacher who really look into individule HW. My DD papers always so ’ clean ’ after marking. -
My ds stopped aft 6 mths as no improvement in his grammar. He was with d yishun branch.

I can not comment much on Just education because I did not enroll my DD there. My friend said that her DD did not improve much and she found out much later that her teacher just tell the answers if she does not know how to answer rather than explaining it to the student. Again it could be the teacher or the individual.hi HAPPYH,

MS Maths did not work for me/my DD. But their question set up is very good. It covers almost all the challenging questions in top school exam papers.
For science and Eng toolbox, I will say MS is good. My DD is doing well. At least works for my DD. I can see full of red marks all over the sheet. That means those two teachers are really putting in a lot of efforts to improve the student's writing skills (English) and answering techniques in Science. I can not remember the english teacher name. I go home and tell you. Her Science teacher is Mdm Goh.
Overall, choosing the centre that fits our children's need is a challenging issue here. I guess we can find out that only after trying (ie enrolling in the centre and observing CLOSELY).
