Neuro Maths, they will give a reassessment paper for the in class students, at close to the end of term 4.


Today, the other teacher told me my son able to continue to stay in the Elite class for next year. When I check with my DS and he said yes, today there is a paper of 6 ques test.

My kids join PSLEMath Marine Parade branch last year. DS now P5. I feel the environment and culture of the centre is good. Not sure how to describe as I’m not very good in my English. The teachers are very passionate. Their programme is very systematic. Ok. I’m not very good in elaborating so not much info. Maybe you can visit Jason at their marine parade branch. He will be able to explain better about the programme.

Hi parents,



Any one can give me some advise on sakamoto and kumon program since both programs are run by japanese founder. Are they under the same approach? Which is better? :scratchhead:

Anyone has experience with either one or both centers?

Please share :please:

Sent my 2 kids for asst.

My lil' girl tested on her dreaded number patterning. Numeracy is good except for that. She failed her paper! Haha! :nunchuk:
Older girl very careless lost few marks due to transferring n calculation. Will monitor her for Elite.
Now big problem is the timing. Sigh.... This is only the beginning....before new year starts piano teacher, home tutor want to switch timing.

Sakamoto :An innovative method for problem solving, it provides students with a simple yet systematic and structured technique to analyse questions in a logical way and solve the questions without any difficulty.They emphasis on problem solving.



Kumon:The Kumon Method is an individualised learning method. The starting point for each Kumon student is determined individually. Students start with the level where they can attain a perfect score by studying on their own.(self-learning method).

I hope this help you to understand better.

I send my DD to Sakamoto since Pr 1, now my DS is in the class too.

My dd attended both previously. Now she doesn’t have Maths tuition.


I feel that Kumon is more for preschoolers. She attended while in preschool, till level F for Maths. Withdrawn her in K2. Laid good foundation for lower primary.

Sakamoto she only attended for around 9 to 10 months. Her school teacher said GR method is not acceptable. So my dd only used GR method as a quick cross check for her answers.
