Anyone has feedback on thomson or redhill branch for p6 classes? Pls help cos want to settle my kid before its too late.

We have been to the complimentary trials for both outlets and find that the materials provided are identical and their method of teaching is similar. No difference. Perhaps, pick the branch that is most convenient for you.

]i just saw the terms and conditions of oodles. This is kinda harsh? Or is this normal across other tuition centers?


May I request to stop attending the tuition lessons during the school holidays?
A typical academic year’s curriculum extends between 48 to 50 weeks. We strongly discourage students from missing their scheduled classes with us, especially during their school holidays. Classes run as usual during the school holidays and coverage forms a part of the academic year’s curriculum. It is therefore imperative that all students attend their class lessons throughout the year.

Parents that wish to allow their child to stop attending the lessons during the school holidays will have to take note of the following:
• The child would miss a part of the full year’s curriculum and no make-up lessons or refund will be given.
• With recruitment taking place throughout the year and given the limited places, students who wish to stop lessons during the school holidays may find their seats released to another incoming student and thus unable to return to the same class/time-slot.

Will there be any replacement lesson should the student be absent?
You are provided a schedule of the lessons upon commencement of your child’s lesson. Your child is strongly advised to attend all lessons to ensure minimal disruption in learning as there will be no replacement for lessons missed. Subject to availability of space and similar pacing of the class, you may be allowed to join another class. This is extended, strictly subject to the above conditions, as a goodwill gesture and the centre is not obliged to provide for such an arrangement for students who intentionally missed their class.

To be fair, this is standard procedure across the tuition centers my daughters have attended. But this is just based on my limited experience.

Some centers are a bit more lenient with their make-up class policies though.

thanks for your feedback!..

so i guess if we sign onto them, we’ll have to say good bye to our school vacations (overseas trips) and if we decide to skip, we’ll lose the spots to other students.

What's the current fees for oodles? yes! i'm glad the current centre my kids go to are flexible about makeup class policies. Hope it stays that way!

My children withdrawn from there after almost a year there, think it was average... In the end signed up with another tuition centre near the area.

Lily, may I know which maths center are your kids at now?

I am still researching what would be best for my son at p2 level. Oodles is one of my consideration. I do see a mix response for Oodles.

Maths lab is another option I'm considering but it's on the expensive end.

I signed up next door with Edify: Math & Science, my kids initially only did Science with them and I could some improvement. Subsequently we signed up for Math as my son seems to prefer Edify. Personally it was also more reassuring for me as the tutors are all ex-MOE teachers. I'm not sure if they offer P2 math though.
