Hi Atan,


For my friend her daughter took up both regular + compo class. For my case due to budget constraint I only sent my son for Compo. He got A* and Merit for HMT.

Both of them are from RailMall branch. If you are keen and have time do visit them and you ask the counter to view their course material.

Tks Mayl,

Yr DS's results was really impressive.
I have checked the RM branch but was concerned that the teacher was relatively new and the schedule was also not very convenient. Does the teacher matter? How about Oral? During yr DS's time, was the sch teaching oral too? I am considering to sign him up for P4. Tks again!

I was told their intake for next year only starts in Nov…for non-existing students…

Hi Atan,
Hmm, yes during his time is Compo (3 times per month), Comprehension (1 per mth) and oral (twice a yr - during SA exam timing). But now I am not sure, maybe you can check with them. During my DS's time, he being taught by China, Malaysian and Singaporean teacher but not so sure they are new to the centre or not. I think the mat'l and how much our kids absolute during that 2 hrs is what we need to concern. :scratchhead:

Tks Mayl, if I remember correctly, now it is a pure compo class which does not cover compre or oral.

Maybe the compre or oral components are covered under the chinese enrichment class and not the pure compo class. Best to call the school and ask what exactly is covered in both types of classes.

Went down to busy bee thomson and looked at their materials. The lady at the reception confirmed that they do not cover oral for their compo class.


Their materials are not too bad. But, as i am looking for a compo writing class with oral component being taught, don’t think their class will be suitable for my ds.

Registration is open to non-existing students from 12 nov onwards. Take note if you are interested.

DD is there, but I don't know who are the popular teachers. We just chose the class based on a schedule that suits us.

Her teacher appears very young and meek, and from a short encounter... I wouldn't say that I am impressed. However, she can be quite strict with the kids and even DD can be scared of her to a certain extent... so probably can't judge a book by its cover.

By the way, we are only attending the compo class.

what’s the charges like for P1?
