[Toa Payoh] Tutors/Tuition Centres/Enrichment

You can try Young Wordsmith. http://www.wordsmith.com.sg/english


I was just sharing with another parent in another thread. I was looking for an English enrichment programme and I stumbled upon Young Wordsmith. I spoke with the instructor, who seems really passionate about English, and said that as part of the programme, they will do a face-to-face assessment with my kids to identify their weaknesses before classes.

I also like the fact that they will cover general knowledge and current affairs in their course instead of just technical aspects of writing. I find that kids sometimes can't write because they don't know what to write or can't write logically, rather than because their English is poor.

Hi there,
Apparently i’m also staying in TPY and actively looking for English tuition around the area too.
i managed to check out a few centres at the TPY central. Ranging from $80 - $280 for 4lesson/month.
more or less cultivate the same teaching methods across the centres.
However it’s also my first attempt to get a tuition for my DS, he’s now in primary 2 , moving on to class result grading very soon. Though it’s a little too late to start but better than nothing done at all.

Hi fellow Parents staying in Toa Payoh,


Any luck in your search for group tuition?
I am also looking for better ones for my 2 girls, one in P4 another in P5, and possibly science as well (if not i’ll let them remain in MS Toa payoh if i can’t find a better one for science)

any recommendations/feedback if you’ve found a good tuition centre? THanks a lot!!!

Thanks, Veraclari!

however, I'm planning to send my boy for tuition next year since it's only a month away from exams. nothing much can be done last minute.
meanwhile , the centres will be revising the fees as well. shall see to that in due time.
Do update here again and share with us on your experience ....
