hie,
only certain branches have jelic prg. TB br does not have jelic, only mpm.

orchard br is located at orchard plaza, the bldg houses tailor shops, beauty salons, wat appears to be nightclubs & so on...... i am not comfortable with the environment (i doubt teacher would be able to bring the kids to the toilet in the event they need toilet visit) also, plc is very very small, partition further into 2 rooms..... i visited the plc on early sat morning, bldg was quiet. being a sat, classes were quite busy & teacher seems to be quite hurried, overheard a teacher saying \"quick, choose a color... red or xxxx\" however the lady whom i spoke to, Yan Ling was able to explain to me quite clearly what the prog was about, despite the distraction of students coming in for lessons. She came across as a patient & nice teacher. However Yan Ling does not teach the weekday jelic class which i was interested in....

Hello!


Would like to share my experience. Son is 5 yrs old (K1). Initially when we went for the assessment, the teacher said he had to start from basic. I was surprise but later convince by the teacher as there is alot of right brain training thing. During the first mth, the worksheet for him is too easy till my son said…EASY BEESY. Thus, I called up the teacher and they agreed to skip few modules. On our 2nd mth, the worksheet given is still easy!! He went to the class less than an hour to complete 2 booklets. Again, I called up the school and said is too easy for him.

Again, the teacher said: If tats the case, we will start him with K2 and pls do not request to skip any module in K2!

Am puzzled over this comment by the teacher.
Question:
1. Is your assessment good enough to judge the kid ability?
2. My son spent 2 mths doing the easy worksheet?? Am paying for that 2 mths? Is just the waste of our 2 mths spend learning nothing
**Pls note, once the teacher ordered the worksheet for next mth, you are not allowed to request to skip his level
3. Are we parents need to monitor our son regularly? What if I nvr monitor his progress?? I will be continuing paying for the fees and son learns nothing.

Any good Maths Enrichment class to intro? Kindly share with me.

Thanks.

the instructor in the centre which I enrolled inform me that we give each other 3 mths for adjustments.


When I make inquiry at the initial stage, the instructor will advise my kid to put up his best performance for diagnostic test. As this will affect the level entry.

This is acceptable to me. Nothing wrong with the adjustment.

I like MPM and think they have one of the better materials which are colourful and intriguing for the young. But that said, i think alot also depends on the centre/ teachers that teach the child. I have heard the teacher screaming at the child " Quickkkkk, why you sooo slow" in her broken Singlish and i was taken aback but DD said she was never recipient of that sort of treatment though it frightened her at first. To cut the story short, there’s no doubt that the materials are fantastic but i do think that the owner of the centre have to make abit of effort to create a more condusive environment and also having more professional teachers to teach the kids. Afterall, the fees aint exactly cheap (SGD 440/term)
