Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes

[mylo]

I would like to recommend my son's Maths tutor.


My son, Dave is in Primary 5 this year and is being tutored by Ms Angela Tay. She teaches at a condo in Pasir Ris with a group of NIE trained teachers. Ms Angela specializes in Primary Mathematics. Dave started the tuition sessions in early September 2014 when he was in Primary 4. Prior to the tutoring, Dave had been failing his Maths exams terribly. Even his school Maths teacher told me that he is hopeless so no point giving him remedials in school. Made me so depressed! Luckily, it is not the same teacher teaching my son Maths this year. Then a parent asked me to look for this tutor, Ms Angela who is good at helping weaker students. Without hesitation, I contacted her and told her about my son. She is a very kind tutor as she even offered to give Dave free P3 Maths lessons to help him build up his foundation as exams was only about one month away. Before the tuition, Dave scored 30 marks for his p4 Math CA2. Miraculously, after only one and a half months of tuition with Ms Angela, he managed to pass his p4 SA2 Math with a score of 51.5. Both my son and I are overjoyed. This really helps to boost my son's self esteem.
I am very thankful and appreciative of what Ms Angela has done for my son. Hence, I would like to give good feedback about her in this forum.

I would strongly recommend this tutor to all mummies who are facing a similar situation. This tutor is kind and patient and will answer any questions you have regarding your child's progress. I'm seeing great improvements in my son, and he still continues his tuition sessions with Ms Angela this year. You can email Ms Angela. Her email address is

I heard that Learning Point has a very good P1 preparation course for Math K2. They are pretty advanced to do all the Problem sum, division and multiplication. I would like my kid to join? Anyone has sign up too?

Hi Little Bug,

I was looking at Learning Point K2 Maths too but it seems like there's no suitable time slot for us. Did you sign up eventually?

Hi Faithgurl,
I signed up already! They have opened more time slots which fits my time on Sat. Make a call to check with them, the class is starting very soon in Feb.
I've viewed their worksheet samples. The staff explained to me that this program would give my child exposure and prepare him for P1 Maths. That's the reason I join them!

Please let me know if Learning Point maths for upper pri is good because my kid is in upper primary and needs help. Cost is also a consideration. Are they expensive?

DS has been with Mindstretcher since P4. His Maths foundation is kind of above average hence so far has no issues following the school and tuition class since entering primary school.

However, during the preparation of CA1 (P5) from the school, I noticed he is not quite versed with the various problems sums. I asked if Mindstretcher has taught the class the same topic and he said they have.

That sets me thinking:
1) Is mindstretcher going too fast but not going deep into the topic which compromise understanding?
2) Is it DS who is not able to comprehend the topic at P5 and needs more time? Is that expected for P5 kids even at other tuition centre?
3) For parents with kids at mindstretcher in upper primary, can you share your experience if their group tuition and ways of teaching are good enough?

I am ready to pull him out for 1-1 tuition as I do not want to waste money and time at P5. I have had my horrible experience with DS1 and not keen to do it again :roll: .

Thanks in advance! And wishing all a healthy, Successful and Happy New Year! :rahrah:
