Comparing Tuition Centres

[chixchix]

Original Title: KRTC Or Stalford


Hii all, I need some urgent help.My boy is in primary level, and I need to put him fot tuitions for EMS. I have gone to see KRTC & Stalford Education Centre at Jurong West.

First Impression I got was that KRTC ,the staff there speak well,and when I went to Stalford,the whole place smelled of fried rice and it just seemed like a gloomy environment to study. However, there are many posters at the entrance of students getting good grades for PSLE.

Can parents advise which tuition centre will be better.

I enrolled my boy in Stalford a few years back for P3 english and maths class. he said that the teacher was rushing to finish teaching and didn’t go through in detail. as for the posters with children who do well, i guess the children themselves already are high ability. for my boy who needs more guidance, i think stalford is not really suitable. now he is at krtc where the class size are more small and some good tutors.

Hi chixchix, I feel very dissappointed after i saw my son's worksheets done at Stalford at jurong point. My son jus joined for less than a month. After 2 lessons, i have decided to withdraw him, the worksheets they let him do is like pri 2 or pri 3 standards, its totally out of pri 4 should have standards.. my son is only new student who jus joined at that group so can imagine the exist student there also doing the same worksheets. I am not saying that school is not good, but its is really not up to my expectations , that's why very disappointed.

Hi

I think Mind stretcher is the best, because they really teach you all the important facts and how to answer open ended questions. It's a little challenging though, but it'll help in exams. For Science Hub, their curriculum is sort of for enrichment and doesn't really focus on school stuff and revision. As for Perceptum and smartlab, they're ok but nothing that good.

Hi,

Understand the above quote is 2 years ago. Anyone has any current experience with Mind Stretcher - Science? Is it good?

Thanks in advance.

Mindstretcher the class size is 1:15. To me the size is too big.

My DD started with MS since p3, their Science notes is good, but the class size is too big. Teacher don't have much time to focus on individual. After each topic will follow by few set of practise papers. Most of the time did that in class and took up few weeks lesson time, which I don't like. I prefer they do the practise papers as HW then make use of the lesson time to do discussion. But the teacher use the following week do correction and copy answer,only discuss on the Q most students got wrong.
This year p4, even change to another teacher still the same. I notice for the past 6-7 week before my DD SA exam till today still doing revision papers, so weeks of lessons just do papers in class??? and my Dd still weak on answering technique in Section B which not taught in class. :frustrated:
I am looking for alternative now...
