Comparing Science Enrichment Programs

Only this 2 centers that you are interested in?


I signed my elder son up for a PSLE science workshop in answering techniques for section B. I think it is very helpful and wished he could had attended it earlier. The fee is expensive but I felt that it is worth the money. I tried searching for Science tuition centers before but really can't fine one that suited my son's. He is not weak in the concepts but has problem answering the questions in a proper way. This tuition center only offers Maths and Science tuitions. For Science, only P6 classes. I am planning to enrol my younger on there later when he is in P6. He is only in P3 now.

In case you are interested : http://www.scienceHeuristics.sg (I am not sure about the website for maths)

Thanks so much for your recommendation. My son also P3 this yr

Hi all,


if you are interested in the tuition methodologies listed below, you can PM me or call 84442379 for the tuition. The tuition is only open to P3 and P4 students. Parents are free to visit to understand the methodology involved.

The tuition methodologies include :

- build strong foundation for science concepts using flash card system (this will come in handy when they reach P6 because once they are familiar with it, some chapters revision can be done in less than 5 minutes while big chapters can be condensed in less than 1/2 hour. In P6, they hardly have time for very intensive long revision time.)

- answering techniques (3 main answering techniques for all types of questions). The answering techniques will help your child to always refer back to principles and therefore be on the right track for answering.

- use of strategies to ease remembering of confusing or long facts

- tricky questions for each topic

My child is with Serena's Greenhouse in Jurong West. Google Serena's Greenhouse. It has a blog. They focus on answering techniques other than concepts. but they do not have many classes as they are not like other commercial centres. hence the classes are filled really fast by existing pupils.

My child is also with Serena greenhouse. My gal say very detailed and clear explanation on the science concepts taught. Thumbs up!!!

Hi

Anyone knows if Science Buddies (near Thomson Plaza) is relocating or closing down??.. I called them, wanted to chk on their courses and the lady said they r neither planning any holiday program or 2013 schedule… and she was kinda in a hurry and mentioned something like they are "packing"??..

On another note, have anyone tried Learning Point Science classes? Is $50/lesson the norm for Science enrichment classes? (1hr45mins)
