Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[Jackietang]

Hi, I just saw your post. My kids go to Creative Horizons too and yes, they do creative writing. They focus on skills for creative writing like characterisation, setting and vivid vocab. Plot structures and the planning process is covered too.

One thing I like is that they DON’T just give word lists to the kids which I think makes them dependent on them. Then in school, they are lost when they aren’t provided word lists. The good part is they know what goes into making a compo an interesting one. The plot can be simple but the story is really narrated to capture interest.

I intend to send my boys there next yr, coincidentally, the founder was my ex-JC GP tutor.


Any one intend to send kids there for K2 and P2 ?? with 3 kids they can start new class. Me aiming for Eastgate brance, nearer my place.

If have sufficient kids we can ask them start a new class.

DS1 doesn't like classes. He figures it's time away from cartoons, toys and shopping. So far he seems to be doing ok in maths - I gave him assessment books to do, mostly careless mistakes only. Anyway, he's a funny boy. He will reject instantly at the first sound, but then he'll be okay in class.

Most kids do not like to have more classes but maybe your boy can adapt fast and has a healthy curiosity for learning, that's why in the end he is ok in class.

hi smartmummy,


The phone is usually routed to someone’s mobile. I don’t think they have an actual office. if you can, best is to go down on saturday. they should be open the whole day (at least up till late afternoon I’m sure).

You can email them because from what I understand sometimes they are busy talking to other parents and as each call may take a while, it is hard to get them on the phone. You could also sms one of their lines-90694302.
