Hi All,

Just want to share my opinions on Mind Stretcher.
My girl was with Mind Stretcher for 1.5 years. It is undeniable that their notes are really good. But I realised not much teaching is conducted in class.
On every lesson, students will be given worksheets to be done in class. And teachers will go through the mistakes on the previous worksheets that has been marked. However, teacher will only go through questions that most students can’t answered. Imagine if the class is 2 hours, how much time is left for teaching if students are doing a set worksheet during lesson ?!?!
Personally felt it is pointless doing the worksheets blindly if students don’t even have the concept and knowledge to answer.

However, please note above findings is concluded as per how my gal’s teacher conducted the class. It does/might not apply for all teachers/classes in Mind Stretcher.

Kitty,

She was 1 year at Yishun branch and 6 months at Bt. Panjang Plaza when we moved to the west.
The above comments applies mainly to the centre at Bt. Panjang as that was the feedback I received from my gal.
