i remember someone is asking about the tuition course at Blk804 RC.

i just came back from there and manage to talk to the teacher. A guy around the aged of 27-28yrs old. He's teaching Maths.

Quite impressive when he explained to me on how they teach the kids to solve the maths sum. But actual fact hv to try out first.
Currently no one register for P1 maths yet. And there're 2 P2 students now.
P1 and P2 students share the same timing. I believe coz the total students is not many.

He'll give out worksheet for the kids to do for the 1st 45mins, before he start teaching for the next 45mins. The teacher seem quite friendly and will jokes with the kids.

For those interested, currently the schedule for P1 is as below:
Eng > Tues > 5.30-7pm
Maths > Thurs > 3.00-4.30pm
Chinese > Mon > 5.00-6.30pm

One subject -$60/mth
2 subjects - $100/mth
3 subjects - $150/mth

Materials fee : $3/mth/subject

Registration fee : $10 (one time payment).

If interested, can call : 9864 9506, 9386 1088

Btw this tuition lessons is under a company called Spring College International.

Hi Felicia,


With the favourable RM exchange rate, it is still cheaper to buy from Msia as evident from your purchase. Depending on the rate my girl wears out her shoes, I may consider crossing the Causeway :evil:

Oh yes, for the socks, must buy from PY with the logo type, is it?

As for the book, it's titled \"Basic English Grammar\" by Learners. Some primary schools use this book for P1 but PY doesn't. There is only 1 English textbook in PY's booklist. Since I've not collected the school books (bought online), unsure if a single book is sufficient. Nevertheless, I've bought the Grammar textbook & will use it to teach my girl. Found the book quite comprehensive & helpful. If you are keen, go to Popular & take a look

Will you let your girl try the tuition at Blk 804?

HI FairyP,


I have brought socks w/o PY's logo! I will be let my girls wear it to school unless the teacher told me must hv PY's logo.

I have all the textbooks at home for 2 weeks already but nvr flip through yet, :oops: only wrap it with the transparent book cover and label with my girl's name.
Ok, when i'm free, i'll go Popular and see the book you recommend. Actually recently i just brought one grammar book as well. 'Learner's AID to Grammar & Vocabulary' by Times educational. Quite good as well. I, myself not good at grammar, so have to get a book with easy reference so that i can explain better to my girl.

About the tuition at RC, Blk804, i have registered my girl for the math's lesson but will only start in Jan 2013. I'm still considering whether to let my girl attend the english lesson. Actually i hv enquiry from Just Education @ Khatib but currently they dont hv enuf students for new class thats on weekday, so hv to think of oth alternative. I'm sure i'm not able to teach my own kid, sure will be :mad: ! haha......so hv to send her to tuition class.

btw, today i just realised the name tag have to be sewn, and not those iron on type. My sewing skill very bad! :stupid:

[FairyPenguin]

Dear PY Parents, must the white socks have PY's logo or any white socks can do?


Hi Felicia, what's your after school arrangement for your girl? Are you enlisting the help of student care? If you are, Pro-Teach (over at McDonalds side) offers after school care & tuition as well. This would kill 2 birds with 1 stone. In any case, do update me whether you find the 804 Maths tuition good after school starts.

As for name tag, not iron on meh?! Oops, sewing neatly is quite challenging! :slapshead:

Hi FairyP,


i think white sock w/o logo is ok coz i read thru again the orientation slip that was given on tat day. it was stated white sock w/o any logo except PY 's logo. so shld be ok de.

i m a sahm now. Quitted my job half yr ago. Was not an easy choice but i hv no oth help unless i send my kids to school care. but it will be quite rush for me as well if i wil ned to fetch them from CC or student care after work. Bef tat we think of maid, student care but also due to some personal issue, i decided to quit.
Tats why i will ned to find some tuition for her as i dont hv the patience to guide own kids. Quite ironic coz when i m younger i used to teached small kids arts n etc. but own kids tend to get tense up easily.

ok i will let u know hows the RC tuition aft she atttend next yr.

Hi Felicia,


Thanks, I'll buy my girl normal white socks then. :imcool:

It's definitely not an easy decision on your part to be a sahm & I can empathise with the sacrifice & struggle. However, this may only be a transitional arrangement. You could consider returning to work when your children are older. After school care is a good option if you can find one which is convenient with minimal travelling time. As for tuition, it's quite common that parents can't teach their own children...so no worries at all. :rahrah:

Oh yes, did you buy the A3 art bag eventually? The one I saw at Popular is around $6+ which is about the same price as what the school bookshop offers. Really not sure if there's a need to buy the art bag or not. Maybe, kiv 1st.

Hi Felicia09,


care to share how the tuition is like? any comments so far?

my DS is in P5 2013, and I have changed afew home tutors. From my experience, these home tutors are mostly students themselves and can't be bother apart from making money during their spare time. Any comments on the 804 tuition? I am thinking of putting my son in for a try.

HI itsjustme,


I’m not sure coz my girl will only be attending the maths class in coming January 2013, but i do have good impression on the teacher as he seems to be enthusiastic in teaching the kids. Maybe u can go to the RC on and talk to the teacher and understand more.

Btw, your DS so far only have home tutor? any other tuition class?

HI FairyP,
As per my earlier post, the A3 art bag was sold @ $4.90 during the Popular Sale at expo. So i have brought one during that time. Even if school does not need it, i will use it for my kids art paper as they like to do coloring.

Today i was trying to sewn the name tag, and my sewing skill is terrible. Hope it dont look too ugly on my girl's uniform. Btw any idea, name tag also need to sewn on the PE shirt?
