You could show the school some essays written by your high ability child in order for them to consider putting him/her in a higher level class.

Ok… Thanks! I thought they are rather rigid and everything has got to go by the book. I do not have a HA child, but thought I saw someone we know going for a higher level class. So was just wondering if it’s possible.

Sent my kids to the katong branch for creative writing…bad experience. My son was targetted by the teacher. didnt mark his essay, little things picked on him. My son is those quiet type, didn’t say anything until one day he came out crying and i happened to arrive early to fetch him. All hell broke loose! I bombarded the admin and demanded to see the teacher. He stared at me and said your son is very disruptive in class. then turned and went back to class.


I pulled out my son the very same day. Fed up!

Oh !!! What happened ?
I am just offered a WTB class in AMK Branch.
Was very surprised. Bcos when I called up the centre in Jan, they told me there are 30+ students ahead of my DD in the waitlist.
Anyone knows the reason for the students withdrawing ?
The admin said I have to register by tomorrow !!!

MindStretcher students go to Just Education for tuition. How I know? U go check with Just Education staff. If one child from MindStretcher cross over to JustEducation, soon all the rest will follow. Eventually, one by one leave and that is when waitlist students get in. Sometimes, it has to do with the attitude of the staff at MS too.

Hi, I am looking for a good centre that is in line with the MoE syllabus. I personally was impressed with MS, but later read some negative comments on this site.

I understand that the teacher is important. But, the materials are imp too. If the materials are close to TLL at that price then should not be bad ??
Cofused - Does anyone have any good experience with the new i12 katong branch? My son starts P1 next year and i want to settle him in a good centre near marine parade.
Do not like shifting, He is currently on ICAN READ and abacus.
Anyone heard of Learning Point? Pls do share.

I suppose if a particular teacher is not good, parents can always switch time slots till they find a teacher they’re satisfied with. There are so many classes in each level and taught by different teachers
