MPM Maths - Discussion

[oldman123]

We did call up the centre each time that we cannot make it. However, in the end, it is always our words versus theirs, and there is nothing much we can do.

Make up class is capped one time in a month if you are attending once a week session.

Make up class is capped two times in a month if you are attending twice a week session.

My side here, if we can’t make it, we will sms the instructor and indicate that we want to do a make up class. She will arrange a day where agreeable to both parties.

Counting the number of sessions attending is easy. Four lessons in a month and pay the fees. Miss one class do a make up class.

Hi all,


Newbie here. Was looking around this site and chance upon MPM, I took interest in this tread becos both my kids (9 n 7 yrs old) are in it for the past 3 years (wouldn’t say which centre…sorry). After going thru pages and pages of complaints (often) and praise (quite seldom), I was quite amazed at what people think of MPM.

Being a kiasu parent, we send both our kids to enrichment classes since they were very young, as far as I can rem they have attended most of the popular class available in Singapore. Most of the centres here especially those established program like MPM, Learning lab, I Can Read, Berries, Shichida, Mind Matters etc have very strict rules and policy with regards to deposit, changing of class, last minute cancellation, make up lesson. Very often, we as parent tends to get upset just becos we can’t get what we want and very often it is us that aren’t following the policy and wants to make a fuss out of it.

I’m not speaking on behalf of any centres or have relative owing any franchise, we are victims ourselves too. Quite frankly, many times I admit we are the one that is trying our luck and get rebutted simply these centres are running very professionally with proper records. Put yourself in their shoe, what if you have arranged the teachers and allocate the seats for the student who can’t make it hours before the class starts…they are running a business.

I relate to the parent as above who have issue with wrong marking, we had the same case and feedback to the teachers, seriously what can we do…nothing much, at most we leave. The reason we continue since they are K1 is this program helps them to think creatively and most importantly they ENJOY the class!!!


These are just my two cents after so many enrichment classes…

wow.... seems like several MPM branches have this occurrence of wrong marking

But I do agree that all these established educational center have strict rules and policy with regards to deposit, changing of class, last minute cancellation, make up lesson. As long we abide the policy and should be ok. If we want flexibility, probably we should just go for those small and one-man-operated education center. Easier to nego

Being kiasu also has it's advantage. At least now your girl is in a very good primary school.

Cool....you took almost 45 minutes to draft and post this feedback of yours :salute:

funny, I don’t rem mentioning anything abt my kids gender or what school they are from, do u know me or mistaken me for someone else?

It is still depends on the kids preferance lah. The programme is not holy that suit 100% kids. Sometimes the instructors don’t want to tell parents that their kids are having negative attitude during class. Instructors only waiting for their parents to tender withdrawal letters.

Parkway branch is a specialize on children with special needs who are using MPM to train the kids brain. The instructors are holding Master in Phsycological something like that.

I was curious and got to know from my friend abt MPM so interested to find out more.


Aft reading most of the feedback, felt that the material is impressive but the teachers I think kind of lots of good and bad so I think is the material that made the whole things so impressive but not so on the teachers part. I think the owner should take action on the teacher part…
