Found this on Facebook. The name is Eunice Cheang and she likes AristoCare. She is also from Class of 1968 (?but school in India?). Maybe she is Kelvin Ong's mother? The one who told him he is in GEP? The one who sent her nephew to him for training to get into GEP - wait a minute - how old was Kelvin Ong then? :rotflmao: -
Lynn2010:
Also, i wonder who is Eunice Cheang (stated in the website as Principal of Aristocare). Coincidentally, a Eunice Cheang contributed in this KSP website that her sister sent her nephew to Aristocare for this GEP course and got into GEP and studying in ACS. Not sure if both Eunice Cheang are the same person.[/quote]
From front page of website, 80% get into GEP, 50% topped their schools, and interestingly, they have Kenneth Ong and Brandon Ong quotes as MD of Aristocare and Director of Aristocare, perhaps the reporter should interview them, coincidentally both are also Ongs.Zeng:

According to the Straits Times article
\"....The parents of at least two children have also asked him to remove from his website 'testimonials' purportedly coming from their children saying they had done well in the Maths Olympiad after attending his sessions, and would recommend others to join.The parents said their children never wrote any such thing.....\"
Maybe Eunice Cheang is Kelvin's sister and her nephew is Kelvin's son.

Want to clarify that the Aristocare GEP Preparatory tuition Rates quoted by me previously was wrong. Sorry i edit so many times. Want to get all my facts correct with proof.
Those who attended the class could pay (and did pay - otherwise they could not continue) - but some probably sacrificed on other things just to pay. The fact is, he advertised under false pretences. Whether the person can afford the money is immaterial.
There are plenty of unqualified tutors out there, but they don't charge an arm and a leg. He demanded such a high price based on his claims of special knowledge (ie. ex-GEP teacher, top school teacher for 12 years), and promises of results (GEP success rate, Olympiad platinum and gold). Now that we know he lied about his background, his other claims will be called into question.
This is CBT.
Could the kids have done just as well going to some other tuition centre eg. Morris Allen - who charges about $30/hr?
Want to be fair to Kelvin Ong of Aristocare even if he lied to us. Went to research his GEP Preparatory Tuition rates from Aristocare's own online advertisements and website. Information like tuition rates, class size and photos of classes were all posted by Aristocare on their online advertisements and website. Have posted correct Aristocare GEP Preparatory Tuition rates for both Group and Individual GEP Preparatory Tuition below.
1) Kelvin Ong of Aristocare charge $183/hr to $275/hr for GEP preperatory group tuition
- GEP Preperatory Class Group Tuition. Aristocare's website photo of a GEP Preperatory Class Group Tuition show at least 8 students per session.
$1100 for 4 lessons including material fee; 1.5hr each lesson; $183/hr
- Pri 3 Intensive GEP revision camp. Dunno how many student in camp.
$1650 for 2 session including material fee; 3 hour each session; $275/hr
2) Kelvin Ong of Aristocare charges $500 per 1.5hr for GEP Preparatory individual 1-to-1 tuition. Almost $334/hr!
All information from Kelvin Ong's own website advertisements. -

I'm amazed that parents are willing to part with that much money for so called GEP training.
Kelvin Ong of Aristocare charges $150/hr to $300/hr for GEP preperatory group tuition. And $500/hr to $800/hr for individual tuition.Singapura:
Those who attended the class could pay (and did pay - otherwise they could not continue)
Gosh $800/hr ! This is like an entire month salary for the lower income group :yikes: -

\"Miss Eunice Cheang has a diploma in TESOL and certified in Phonology & Dyslexia. She developed Phonics GeniusTM. She has successfully taught thousands of children to read and spell during the past 12 years. She has many years of experience and training. She specializes in teaching children with or without learning difficulties. Not only are the children taught phonics, they are also taught the skills of using phonics which result in them being able to read independently 2 or 3 years above their peers. These same children then become enthusiastic readers and learners as they gain their confidence in reading.\"
So why was she posting on KSP giving the impression she was a happy customer when she is a teacher and principal of AristoCare?
