<![CDATA[Little Ink Pot]]>


I wonder if any of u has any feedback about Ms Yan from The Little Ink Pot? Been contemplating if I should let my child join her p1 English class next year. Her fees are not cheap, $55 per lesson. D class is held at her HDB flat. Class size is 6 students per session.

Would appreciate any inputs. Tks!:)

Older child is good in English, benefited alot from Ms Yan’s coachg, she got an A* in English. In fact, she continued on in her sec classes and did v well in sec sch.

Younger child is weak in English but obtained an A in English. Her essays were barely passing bef joing Ms Yan. After a few yrs with her, she managed mid-30s in her P6 essays.
Ms Yan is v good in coachg creative writing skills. She teaches the kids to develop their story v well and to write succinctly without having to resort to difficult vocabulary or convulated sentences. Her classes are not didactic in approach. There is an interchange of ideas. She will bring them out of class for discussions occasionally during the holidays. They do newsletters, pamphlets, literary discussions etc.
What I like about Ms Yan is that she marks all the essays meticulously and she makes them do redrafts. She includes her suggestions and minor editing as well. She gives them articles/short stories to read. Her classes are never boring. My daughters enjoyed her lessons v much.
I think there is a reason why Ms Yan doesn’t take in students who are too vocal. They tend to disrupt the class and she has to spend alot of time disciplining the child rather than concentrate on the lesson. She handles the class alone. I remember my daughters telling me there are students who basically spend the whole lesson arguing and talking back. Some will be v vocal and do not give others a chance to speak. It is v hard for the rest who genuinely wants to learn to concentrate.
There are some who will talk alot, never do any work and parents still expect an improvement.
In order to benefit from her class, the child needs to be teachable and a little diligent : )

My children were in the class for a term, but I quickly realised that this class would not suit more outspoken students. The teacher herself explained that she does not have experience handling outspoken children. (One of my child is fairly outspoken and may challenge ideas, but had never received any complaints of this from his school teachers). This tutor had offered to keep my more compliant child who happens to have better grades at school, but does not wish for the outspoken child to be in the class. Anyway, after considering, I decided to take both my sons out of this class - as I believe English lessons should have certain aspects where ideas can be exchanged.

The contents seems reasonable for the 1 term I was there. If your child already has good grades at school and most importantly fits in the box, you are likely to be welcomed there.

I guess every parents’ experience may be different, but thought I would share mine in case it may help other parents.

My children are at their AMK centre. In my opinion, they are very good in teaching English. You can call them to arrange for an assessment.

[quote=\"chocpockie\"]Hi subeve76


Really good? Where to find d reviews huh? Tks!

I believe this was one of the reviews : http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php&t=1131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90

I think it's best to call up or go down to take a look at their materials. $55 is pretty steep for a class held in hdb. Think TLL is about that price?[/quote]Yes, I thought so too. Fees comparable TLL.
