How big is TS’s class size?

Can anyone recommend me good teachers from Berries (Tampines Central) please? It’s for my DS, who is in P3 this year. Thanks.

You know what I like about 天下？in a K2 class, 1 teacher will take care of 10 children. But in Berries, there is 1 main teacher and 1 asst teacher to about 16 children (correct me if I'm wrong). So it means 1 Berries teacher is teaching 16 children as compared to 1 天下teacher teaching 10 children.
Assistant teacher is to put for a better teacher student ratio. But in actual fact, 1 teacher to 10 children is better in 天下 than 1 teacher to 16 children in Berries.

Parents, know what you are paying for. Having lesser students in a class allows the teacher to spend more time to focus on each individual child for Oral Component like K2 Picture description in 天下 Oral for Preparatory P1 class.

I like the K2 Tien Tsia too. I like their materials n the word cards given every week. It is easier for me to revised with my DS.


However , for P3 class, is it true that TS standard is much higher? My DD just started to attend TS for a term. realized that she did not do well in the test paper by TS. Is it a concern?

My 5 year old kid attends Chinese Montessori preschool @ TD Education near Paya Lebar MRT, 3 hours daily.


The school developed comprehensive and interesting text/workbooks which are also use at NTU Confucius Institute enrichment class and many childcare centres (e.g. St James, Innate Montessori etc). My kid's favorite place is the library, which comprises > 4000 books and he has cultivated the habit of reading 4 books daily.

From a kid who refuses to speak mandarin transforming to one who can't stop using Chinese daily in a short span of time, kudos to the teachers. They have definitely exceeded our expectation.

The school conducts enrichment classes too and coming June, there is a Holiday Chinese Program for Kids. Also, there is a Free Workshop for Pre-primary kids on 1st June. Refer to the website for more info. (http://www.tdgrp.com.sg)
