Like to know any difference between BrainFit Studio & BrainFit Classroom?

Hi
BrainFit Studio does only brain fitness training. BrainFit Classroom is another unit under their program which offers English enrichment and they incorporate some form of Brain Fitness training which supposed to boost the learning ability of the child.

I believe you can find more info from their respective websites.

How is brainfit different from mind champs, mind edge?

I reckon the diff would be in the techniques used. Brainfit has regular free parent workshops. Maybe you can consider attending one of these sessions to find out more. They used to do it on Sats, but recently I heard they have Sunday sessions as well. Not sure. Better you call them to find out.

Hi, thanks!

Anyone with children in their program, can give some comments or review?

How accurate is their mind mapping?
Is their report detailed?

Both my sons (6 & 8 yrs old) attended Brainfit Classroom since 4 mths ago. Both of them like it very much. They have many hands on activities and computer activities.


I see a big improvement for my younger son. He used to have difficulties in reading English story books. He even started to show sign of rejection towards English. Tried to enrol him in I Can Read. No improvement at all after 9 mths. But after he started on Brainfit Classroom, his interest in reading boost up alot. Now, he will bring an English story book to me and tell me that he can read it by himself. I am very happy to see the result.b

Don’t waste your money. Too expensive while computers always got problems. Tell friend about open house yesterday and all computers down for free demo!

Do you mean all computers broke down at the same time? Not possible unless sabotage involved. Which centre did your friend go to? My second son has been reading two grades above his age group. He started to read Harry Potter and he is only 8 years old. I tried LCentral but it was just worksheet tuition style and teacher was some elderly man. Didn’t last.

wahh, how you know why? You work for brainfitclassroom? So quick to reply to all topics Brainfit Classroom related,la. I see brainfitclassroom employee monitoring forum.

[TeacherDaddy]

Firstly, I only joined this forum to ask for advise like most like-minded parents who care for their child’s future. Secondly, this is about the only post I have so have nothing to contribute other than this thread. Thirdly, I don’t appreciate your tone and think a parent like yourself should not act like a child. Fourthly, I have seen real improvements on my child’s reading with progress reports to prove it and school grades have improved so there is no reason why I should slam the Programme. Lastly, since I posted this thread, I didn’t get much response so I took it upon myself to contribute. I think you need to stop posting in a mature parents forum. Sigh.

Yeah, program work so well that they close Jurong East location at 200 jurong east avenue 1 less than 1 year later. Take at look at your first post show 4 locations.

TeacherDaddy:

4) There are currently 4 centres in Singapore and they incorporate MOE English syllabus. The latest one is run by a former MOE Teacher in a Hokkien Huey Kuan School at Bedok Reservoir.

Now only 3. Sorry, I share my advice too for fellow members to see for themselves. Many better programs around without computer problems all the time.

[TeacherDaddy]

Sigh. I can’t answer for that maybe boss there decided to close for personal reasons. I am not sure if you realise computers have been used by educators to improve learning hand in hand with good teachers. Were you ever told that your child was weak in English and was advised to read more but he wouldn’t? If so, like me you would be more appreciative of how technology like this has helped. My friend’s child was recommended to try it and he is autistic. Told me his child scored above 90 percent in Pathlight. He is on the home use programme. He just told me the reason for computer failure is because the host in USA does maintenance but it’s usually up and running in a day. I think we all know technology isn’t perfect. Maybe you can try to be more rational and not see things so negatively. Are you a parent?
