Hi, can any parents share any good science tuition centre in the east area? Many thanks!

hi starrenee,

tuition centres cater to masses. they teach in groups & students tend to ‘socialize’ in class. they don’t focus on each child. so if your child has a worksheet or test on a particular topic which the centre has not taught, then your child will have to tackle it on his/her own. tuition centres take in students from various schools so they can’t cater to each child’s needs. hope this helps.

I believe TNS do not organize any open house. At least none in the recent few years.

Does anyone know if we can check the results of the Mid Year Exams as a whole level? Personally, I think some of the papers are very tough for my child, but I want to understand the performance as a whole level/ standard so that I can judge if my child needs remedial help or if the paper is set tougher than the usual, and she can still cope. Would want to reduce the need for tutors as much as possible.

You can always refer to the median for the class and level.Its in the report book.

Do the kids get their report books after mid- years?

You could let the teacher know your concern during the PTM. If the whole level is not doing well, then the papers are consider as tough.
