Blue Pearl:

Hi kaitlynangelica did u find any difference in your child after two months. Does she really improve? I have been having a mixed feelings about this.


Any other parents who have tried this centre, please share.

thank you.

Maybe you could start by introducing yourself first as there are too many newbies in this forum who suddenly appear out of nowhere, vouching for certain tuition centres. And strangely, these newbies 'disappear' when parents start to probe.

[quote=\"arsenal_fan\"]I would like to share my experience in Joanne Choo Language Centre, years ago..


Back in 2003, when I was a student poor in studies. I failed my English in school, getting a D7 (borderline failure) back in Sec school.
Joanne Choo did not look down on me. She accepted me as her student. She told me that I will eventually like English after her lessons.

2 months down, I really started to like her lessons. I payed attention in almost ALL the lessons. I liked her style of teaching. She did not only used words to describe, she also added in some form of actions.
I started to pick up more in her lessons.

In that year, I did showed improvements. I managed to pass my English at the end of the year for my English, getting a C5.
Back then, I remembered that passing English is mandatory in order to move on to the next grade.

I still remembered, in Sec 3, there was once I topped the class for essay/letter writing in a test. Frankly, what I wrote in the test was the style I learned from Joanne Choo.
It was in late sec 3 when my hectic schedule isn't able to fit any more tuition, that was why I quit.

Eventually, I continued to practice writing on my own free time and at O'Levels, I passed with at least a C5 or B4 (I can't really remember). :?

-------

The learning there, helped me a long way. Even until now, I've been writing to forum letters and I do see that her style of writing (the sequence that should be written) did helped me in letter writing too.

This is my personal experience. Just sharing with people here.

Hi henryparkmummy,


i heard that the kids just copy the compo week after week. can copying comp improve writing skill????

surely it's more than just that, herbie as i think the testimonials and improvements from the children speak for themselves.

Hi, does anyone know of Joanne Choo's credential? With due respect, the testimonials sound too good to be true. English is a language that can only improve over time unlike Math concepts and formulas. How could one who's very weak in the English language, even failing the paper, pass with flying colours unless they memorised essays & simply plonk it in.


I understand from the various testimonials that many of those who had benefitted
seemed those who are very weak such thay any improvement thereupon would show drastically.

Would a child who is consistently in band 1 benefit from her teaching and go a further notch up?

Without seeming complacent, I have a child who consistently hovers around lower band 1 & higher band 2 and presently learning under a particular private tutor. She's been with the same tutor for 3 years & yet her result remain more or less the same.

I am hoping to find one who is able to assist on this basis.

Any thoughts?
