Hi


My DS is very weak in compo. which centre is more effective in creative writing? we are staying at the eastern. Thanks

Hi netserver,

Weakness in compo can mean many things, child will need to have on hand understanding of grammar, adequate vocab and finally some ideas to be able to come up with good compos.

Let us know if you have more specific questions about the centers and I'm sure kspers will be glad to help.

Cheers

Hi can I just ask mommies here if you buy assessments books for your kids even though you have already sent them to tuition/enrichment centres? Or you don’t buy them since they’ve already got tuition?

I did not buy additional assessment books...centre already provided. sometimes let my dd practise past yr papers only..I dont want to burden her with so many assessments...

Personally for me, I like TAS and it works very well for me. But I think you could shop around and look at different centres approaches before making up your mind. Some centres work for some, some work for others.


But most importantly we need to also revise the work learnt at the centre with our kids, cannot just depend on the centre or teachers. I find my kids learn most when I help them to reinforce what they learn.

Hi netserver,


If you are looking at TAS, they have classes at paya Lebar singpost centre. My friend puts her kids with creative horizons at orchard area and she likes it there. Heard they have a placement test so that may be a bit more stress. TAS conducts a simple test but that is only to find out how your child is - they (TAS) don’t reject kids based on the scores attained.

Go check out and see which one works for you.

Hi hquek


thanks for the fast response.

does TAS solely focus on compo writing only?
