The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

I also did not know what the fuss was about but when I picked it up to read, I found that the writing is very good. The techniques are interesting. Most books in the market do not provide any techniques, just the model compos and even then their model compos are very boring. I think if my child wrote like that, sure cannot do well.

Anyone has info on what the child need to bring for push camp? I left my copy in office. Haizzzzz. Thanks in advance

I think it is the usual, bring pencil box, water bottle, notebook. Not many things this time as it is a day camp.

Hi, does anyone knows whether TAS is closed during school holidays? Have been calling them almost everyday but no answer. Have also drop an email to ask them to call me but also no answer. I have wanted to sign my son up for the new term but it’s so very difficult to get hold of them.

Classes run as per normal. They may be busy with all the camps going on - I was unable to get hold of them also but later when i tried the main line, someone picked up really fast. If you are free to try, can go visit the school during lesson times (esp weekends).

Hi,


Anyone knows if the TAS creative books are sold more cheaply to TAS students? I am thinking of signing up my dds at their centre and not sure if I should buy their books at Popular first.

hi limsm,


Answer is yes. They have student price for their own kids, although I can’t recall if the price at popular during bookfest/expo sales are cheaper.

Go try out their lesson first - I do like that first FREE trial. Nonid to commit unless your child is comfy in there.

Hello, is there anyone having kids enrolled in TAS Bukit Timah branch for English? I understand there are many good feedbacks for their Ang Mo Kio branch and teachers, not sure whether their teachers in Bukit Timah have the same quality? Can anyone share please? Thanks.

What I know is most of the teachers rotate between the centres so the good teachers at AMK also teach at Bukit timah. I personally heard of these 2 teachers that are good at Bukit Timah, teacher mabel and teacher mae

Thanks a lot ccgoh.

Are your kids with these teachers? in which grade? I'm looking for a tuition center for my P3 boy to enhance his English. Is TAS really helpful to improve school marks? How do you think it compares to TTL?
