Eye Level Education Centre (aka Enopi) - Discussion

We go to Roxy Square.


Yes, they have worksheets for homework but usually the kids are able to complete within 2 days. Alot depends on how difficult the questions are.

The teacher will guide them if they’ve issue but note there is no "teaching".

I was quoted $75 for 4 sessions, 45 mins per session. How come the rates are different?

[MMM]

My kids sessions are around 1.5 hour a week.

thanks MMM, so since there is no \"teaching\" which is quite similar to kumon, the difference is therefore in the worksheets? n from what u say, it means the one week worth of homework can be completed in 2 days?

sorry for my many questions

Hi,

I have ask the enopi instructor whether we will get back the completed worksheet. She told me that only the basic math worksheet will be given back, the IQ math portion will be retain by the school. Is this the practice in other school.
I was told by my friend that for MPM, all the worksheet will be retain by the school.

Can any one verified that this is the practice for all the center?

The difference between Kumon and Enopi worksheets are Enopi worksheets are more colorful, with cartoons,etc… so it is more appealing than the dull kumon worksheets (nothing but numbers). I would suggest that you actually visit the outlet to have a better understanding.


The amount of homework I feel is not as much as Kumon too. Kumon is daily worksheets. But Enopi 2 booklets is not little as well. There are many progressive arithmetic questions too and usually problem sum at the end. It’s just that I am trying to enforce the kids to complete within 2 days. Depending on the topic, it get more complex so sometimes the child might take a longer time. Personally, I think 2-3 days worth of worksheet is sufficient, there are other subject

We can take back the basic worksheets but not the critical thinking portion.

My girl is active and will only be in K1 next yr. Does the instructor spend more time on the little ones as they can’t really sit still n read instructions?

[MMM]

I think that is common behavior for K1. As my K1 girl sounds like that too. She is only starting enopi in Jan 2010 and so far, the instructor is aware that this is what she will be expecting. We can't expect kids that age to sit still.

thanks MMM. since the nature still seem similar to kumon, makes me hesitant to switch. not surprisingly, my dd does not like too many worksheets and the centre instructor has reduced the number in accordance with her age. the no. is manageable, just that, as a kid, kind of \"sian\" to have to do homework every night, if u know wat i mean? and considering all the available math enrichment like abacus, kumon, mpm, all seem to involve some kind of homework on a daily basis. which makes sense since math is definitely about regular practice.

location-wise, kumon still makes more sense/ more convenient for me. and my dd stil ok for the time being. so think i'll stick with it in the meantime.

thanks for all your clarification though may check enopi out when i have the chance!

[MMM]

Yes, I totally understand. The struggle with the daily worksheets. It's nuts :lol: Enopi is not as bad in that sense.


Something you need to consider is that such programs like kumon, enopi and probably mpm, progress the child based on their ability. So the earlier you join a program, you will be able to progress faster. This is the reason why I let my youngest start Enopi from next year.

Personally, i felt that it's good to identify a suitable program early and stick to it. It's not advisable to change as doing so means the child will have to start all over again under the new program.

Undeniably, the program have different focus eg. the enopi instructor related to me that alot of her kumon convert kids tend to do badly on the critical thinking portion which they are not exposed to so they have to start on a lower level. So that also means that if you intend to switch one day, you might find that your child is \"disadvantage\" by the late start.

Just some thoughts.
