The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

[idah23]

Hi,

my girl was from morris allen. She started there when she was in N1. In MA, she built confidence and used very ggod english such as back yard and sticky tape instead of scotch tape..but she picked up everything except reading. Upon realising this, i stopped her at MA and put her at I can read. Now, she will be completing I can read very soon and i want to place her in a holistic English centre that will help her with writing,compre,vocab,sentence construction and spelling.At the same time, i want her to be able to speak well ie using words like she did in MA.
Seeing from all the posts, i am guessing that TAS is the hot fav for now.
1) Can i know from mummies out there if i can achieve most of the my objectives as stated above if i send my daughter there.
2) Are TAS teachers native teachers or locals and if locals what qualifications do they hold?
3) Any referrals for the Paya Lebar branch please

thanks
Btw, for primary one do you think i should send my daughter to Morris Allen, TAS, British Council or just continue with I can read. For maths im sending her to MPM and i am very happy thus far. I just need her foundation of English to be just as good

thanks

Hi,
This year, it would hold at 6th Apr at Yishun and 7th to 8th Apr at their Paya Lebar Church. For Friday it will be from 4.30 pm to 7 pm, the other two days I can't really remember the time.

I live in the East and my son is in P1. But TAS' East branch does not have sessions for P1. Anyone keen on forming a group of 4 for P1 and asking if they can create a new slot for P1 at their East branch?
