I also sent my son to Norman Tien Group + individual lessons...

After spending $$$$ for last 5 months, my son did not show much improvement from SA2 result.
But no doubts, the teachers are good and my son enjoys the lessons.

The teacher (from Norman Tien) said that the poor result was partly due to the unexpected challenging questions from his school ( Primary 5)
(ref to my post on average marks 40/100 maths forum)

I'm looking for other MATH tuition centre - example>Dr Peh Associate...
Are your kid in P5 too? staying in EAST

My girl will be P5 next year. I heard Norman Tien use some strategic method to tackle problems. So I thought to try it out.

Actually why didnt you find a home tutor who can tailor to yr son's need? These tuition centres are not cheap too.

I tried one-to-one tuition too for 1.5 years. But no improvement so far. haiz

My son is from neighbourhood school in Tampines... not even top 30 schools.


But just don't know why the MATHS paper2 was so tough and his form teacher told me that the school set PSLE standard for this SA2.

Then I asked the teacher : \"Why set PSLE standard whereby the P5 kids are still not at that \"mark\" and almost everyone failed with a mean mark of 40 ?\"
:stupid:

If Tampines, only St Hilda, GongShang & Yumin Maths std is higher only nia mah. Not possible std higher than Top schools mah

Since your school set the Maths std that is so high (wah...probably half the school failed with mean of 40/100)..then you can't really gauge whether Norman Tien is producing results or not. The school is setting a paper that is beyond the normal ability of the child! A better analysis will be how far ahead or behind the sch average compared to before his tuition.

Is your son from Gongshang Pri where the mean score is 44 after everyone add 5 more marks. Some of my students get above 70 for SA2 Maths in GSPS.

Hi, have anyone send their kids to NeuroMaths for class? From the website, the founder is Mr. Norman Tien, who is well-known for solving challenging maths problems. Thought of sending my DD for a placement test...


Anyone who has kids currently in their program, can share your views? Really looking forward to hear from you guys!!! Cheers!!!

Thank you for your reply. Can I know how old is your girl? Is it difficult to understand their teaching?

Also can share their pricing?

Hi Kay22, My girl is in P5 this year, I signed her up when she started P4. Ive asked my girl about their teaching method and she says tat they combine all methods to simplify a problem sum to make it easier for her to manage.

Regarding their fees, I dont hv the exact figure now but was paying something like $700 plus incl tax for P4 and that was for a 1 1/2 hr class. Shes now in P5 and the fees are slightly higher at $751 for a 2 hr class.
