Hello everyone,


I am wondering if anyone has experience with both oodles and concept maths. Would appreciate sharing from any parents out there so that I can make a decision. Will be very grateful for all PMs from any parents. Many thanks.

I have never thought of writing a negative feedback about an enrichment center until now....


I signed up my dd (P5) at Thomson branch for a holiday program. My dd truly loved it and that was why I registered her at Sembawang branch, and also I wanted her to be able to tackle the OnSponge problem sums, which her school does not do it often. When she was at Sembawang branch, I realized that she was kind of upset after each lesson. She told me repeatedly that she did not want to attend the lesson there anymore. I was puzzled and told her that the materials were good (and still is) and it will help her in her PSLE. When I checked her Oodles homework, the instructor did not go thru all the corrections. You can see his frustration and impatience by marking a big cross in her worksheets. I was kind of upset and wrote a feedback in their website. Thomson branch responded (kind of main branch). I told them that Math has always been my dd's favourite subject and now Sembawang branch managed to 'kill' it. They were very kind and told me that they can arrange for another instructor (same branch) to go thru the corrections with my dd. I was also thinking of switching to Thomson branch, but logistics and schedule are really a challenge. Eventually I have to stop just after one and a half term. My deposit of $200 is supposed to offset the rest of the 4 lessons, but my dd simply refused to go. The reason is not just one of the above as it is tedious to type all. What really upset me was that the instructor just simply has no patience and use scolding and shouting method to teach.

Up till now my dd did not tell me the real reason why she does not want to go there. My husband and I were extremely upset as this is really the first time my dd 'rejects' an enrichment center. Shouting and belittling definitely do not help a student learn.
