Tony Buzan Learning Centre - Community Thread

Hello!


My son is in K2 this year and I thought of sending him to Tony Buzan Learning Centre for the Pre-Primary Preparatory class. Any comments on this school? Is it good? Worth trying or not??

hi all,


Just wondering is Tony Buzan the only enrichment centre offering mind mapping class?

Would like to start introducing mind-mapping to my girl. Heard that mind-mapping is a good study technique to be picked up.

Thanks.

Rgds,

We had sent our son to Power Learning Camp when he was in P3. We paid $500 for a 5 day program. It focused on mind mapping and memory training. What was being taught will be useful if the child likes to draw and uses it. My boy does not like to draw and did not use it.

Hi sweetie galaxy,



I do agree with you is very tiring to send them to different places for tuition. Just like one of my friend who went all around Singapore for tuition for different subjects just because she heard the teachers r good! I myself also have no tme to ferry them around. For Tb, honestly I am not too sure about their English program. I only heard about their Science program. And their camp is not cheap. You can try out their holiday camp program first b4 u decide if you will like to pursue on. I am also thinking to try out their Science camp b4 any decision made. So far, Have you visited their centre?

Hi SengkangMum,

Sci i haf decided to try out mind stretchers. They got hands on which is good. I wanted to sign tb for ms but heard their worksheets bit hard & alot. How about ur kiddos ?

My DD attended the T B in Hougang mall. Subject is science. We find it quite useful and the teaching really helps a lot. Mindstretcher is also equally good. My the other DD attended HA Science in Mindstretcher. The practice worksheets are comparatively same as TB.

Hi sweetiegalaxy,



Initially I also thought of mind but despite of hearing quite a lot of negative remarks from ks forum. Having some reservation. I have booked a slot with tb on their Dec camp. I will try and see how it goes. But heard some parents thy r gd in teaching mind map that helps the Kids in science. For me , I have also tried mavis, don’t really like it. Kids have to mark their own answer after finishing their work. Teacher don’t do that. It’s good u go down personally to tb and mind to make a comparison.

Hi Ny1969,



Thanks for your valuable feedback about tb. That is important for parents like us to ensure tat we have make a right investment for our child on the right program. Did u attend tb 5 days science camp before u enrol your child for the regular class?
