Mindstretcher - Discussion

[crazymummy]

Hi, am in the midst of sourcing English enrichment class for my girl who will be in P2 next year.


Can someone comment on the English classes (Achiever/High Achiever) vs Writer’s Toolbox provided by Mind Stretcher?

Which will be good?

Thanks & regard

Writer's Toolbox is purely on writing, which is itself just focusing on paper 1. Students brainstorm for ideas, craft sentences, integrate dialogue, develop storyline and descriptive skills, expose to different style of writing, polish writing skills etc. English classes, on the other hand, covers compre, vocab, cloze passage, S&T, just about everything in paper 2. There is occasional writing but little emphasis on this. It depends on your child's need at this stage. English class is for building on foundation . Writing class at P2 should be fairly basic at this stage, which IMO, parents can coach and practise with the child at home.

actually i thought the registratin is next monday! see how unkiasu we both are? lol. i called them to check for vacancies and the admin sounded impatient and did not want to reveal to me the current class size, only said that max is 15.

rethinking my options if i should take up ICL weekdays (at least i know i can rreach them faster as ds1 is there) instead and bear with the inconvenience (MS is more convenient to get to sch then ICL via bus).

Hi,


Any comments on The Sembawang branch? Especially for English teachers.

[Laya]

My DS will be in P1 next year. Can any one comment on how far the writers toolbox course will help for a primary 1 kid? Do they really need to start at this level?

Advise you to go Bishan Mindstretcher branch which is their HQ. Sembawang branch is franchised out. Worksheets are all the same but under different management. You go to Bishan Mindstretcher branch and Sembawang Mindstretcher branch do a comparison and look at the classrooms. Bishan Minstretcher is very big and has toilets in their centre. Customer Service provided at Bishan MS is also better. If the price is the same, why not go for the best branch - HQ.

How is Bishan the Maths tuition?

sembgal, how can you tell MS Sembawang is a franchisee?
