Hi there,

Anyone has any feedback on the teaching method of Teachers at TSOD Yishun? How do their students do for ballet exams? Thanks! πŸ˜„
My friend's daughters are with Miss Jasmine at Yishun. Her mum told me one of them is very good and she often had distinction for her ballet exam. She is very patient to kids and friendly with parents. Hope this gives you some idea.

Any parents here with child learning ballet from TSOD in Yishun ave 5? Any reviews on their current teachers or teaching method, syllabus? I am thinking to enroll my daughter to TSOD in Yishun under the teacher of Miss Wu Jiamin.

Would like to hear some reviews and feedbacks from current parents before making a decision. Thanks!!

Apparently many senior girls have also left the school… seems like the teaching style is questionable. Also, they have shifted from Chai Chee to Bedok (above KFC) i think. Maybe attrition rate too high so have to stand below over the weekend to distribute flyers.

The admin never pick up your call. Never follow thru with the exam cert.

Shifted school 3 times from MacPherson then to Mountbatten and currently at Chai Chee.

My girl is currently taking ballet pre-primary lessons in another school and I intend to switch her to this Yishun school. Can advise which teacher is good or basically is this school good? I intend to enroll her either Sat or Sun morning class.

Thanks,
Angela
