vkiasu:

I've heard of tuition centres which uses acting, speech and drama, and giving out points to encourage students to learn more than just studying. Think it helps a lot, and whatever is taught goes way beyond just academics. Know one tuition centre called Alternative Story which does that. My kid attended the creative writing workshop they held in his school at Blangah Rise Primary.. Email me if you want more information at [email protected].

How are the results are Alternative story?

Its very effective actually… because i recommended my colleague to send her 2 girls there. Her younger girl, who is only Pri 2 can now write very well, almost near Pri 4 standard as she finds it very easy to learn those phrases that the teachers teach. She would often recite paragraphs of compositions that she has learnt. Read some of her compositions and must say they are more interesting with varied sentence structure and good vocab used.


The other girl who is pri 6 this year also attends the Math tuition at The Alternative Story. In her CA that just passed, heard from my colleague that she improved more than 30 marks to score 73. She was previously struggling to even pass her Math in all the CA’s and SA’s. My colleague was so happy she called me immediately to tell me about it. I’m very glad that both her girls have shown significant improvement just after about 5 months of tuition.

Hi there,


Has anyone bought a copy of the English Creative Writing book from TAS?
Any comments?


Thanks!

Got mine today. I think it is very comprehensive. They do not just show you good phrases but also show how to apply to different compos. But the thing that stands out for me is the writing! It is different from other compp books where I find the writing is bombastic but a bit unnatural. Their writing makes you feel. I don’t know how else to put it.

Will highly recommend it, just maybe not for p1 and p2.
