Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes

Hi,

Does anyone know if the learning lab is considered \"enrichment\" or is it considered tuition?

Enrichment

Recently signed up with a centre in the east. They customise their programs and materials according to the needs of my kids.


Finds their method of approach helpful and likes the way they work with me as well. Accountable with the things they do in class and always ready to help my kids

Any recommendation for Math tuition for P5? Child will be in P5 next year. Heard so many feedback from friends that it is a huge jump from P4. Want to be ks and "chope" a place at a good centre first. Living in the west.

Hi,

I am in a dilemma whether to enroll my 5 yr old daughter in Kumon Maths or Abacus.
Few months back I had enrolled her in Abacus in a nearby CC, she used to get 5-7 worksheets as homework every week.
For 1 worksheet to make her do I had to sit with her for 1 hour, if I sit with her for Abacus I don’t have time for doing any other activity with her on a weekday. Also her teacher used to tell she is very playful, in the 1 hr class hardly she does 10 sums. Her class strength was 10-12 kids of different age group.
My concerns are:
1. Do both abacus n kumon classes have so much homework that everyday 1 hr we need to sit for kumon/abacus. Then how do we manage with other activities like reading books. Working moms please advise how much time do you spend with your child for studying on a daily basis.
2. If they learn abacus method of maths, would it be confusing for them in P1. How about if the child learns kumon?
Thanks,

Hi,

Also please advise any good kumon centres near buangkok crescent.
I checked that there is one in selatar-yio chu kang and hougang green shopping mall. Can anyone please provide feedback or share their experience with these centres.
Thanks

I let my 5yrs+ DS does Kumon worksheets all on his own. No supervision is needed. I only need to tell him how many he needs to complete (in daily basis). We spend like 1-2 hours daily (only if no enrichment classes in the evening) for homework, revision & reading. I am FTWM btw. I have no comments on abacus but since Kumon works for my DS, we will sign our DD up soon next year when she is around 4yo. HTH.

My DD will be 4 yo this oct and couldn’t recognise 0, 6, 8 & 9. Can’t write also. What enrichment class is suitable for her? Any suggestions is appreciated. TIA
