      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?

      My kid is not under them, my kids are under teacher elaine and teacher martin now. I know about these two teachers from friends. TAS helped to bring up my kids marks. Esp for their compo and compre.

      TLL is good from what friends say but they do not go through things that will come up for exam. They expect the kids to know it already and so they do more enrichment stuff. If your kids are coping well with exams and you want them to be enriched, I think TLL is right for you but if you want help in coping with exams, then I think TAS is better for that purpose.


      Are teacher elaine and teacher martin good also? Yeah my son definitely needs to boost his compo n compre. I've PM u just now. Thx.

        hw abt paya lebar teachers?

        From what I know, also rotated, I know teacher elaine teaches there and at AMK also. Teacher Phebe also. I don't think they have teachers who solely just teach at paya lebar.

            Yes. My kid is being taught by undergrad. Very comfy becos she can hold their attention, is caring about their development. Also despite not being a teacher,she is able to tell me how my kid was in class (in spite of class siZe )

                No I don't sit in class (also no space for me). But the teacher got pretty loud voice and I can hear when i wait for my kid's class to end. Initially I would listen out and was impressed that my usually reticient kid would even participate in class.

                Teacher stop me from leaving if there is something of concern she want to highlight (else I usually scoot out of there); either that or I can queue and ask her directly after class. I think they give like 15min lag time between class which is good becos my kid's class always end late - else not fair to the next class.

                But I don't ask for feedback these days much, feeling more settled in.
