      The P or whatever from Numberlinks at Bishan is really arrogant and keep putting people down. Keep saying hers is a training school and not tuition centre. Terrible centre.

        For tuition centres, generally PSLE Math, Onsponge, TLL are the bigger names and many colleagues send their children there. For me, i prefer to have private tuition for my 2 girls. Happen to chance on this page and yes, my girls share the same math tutor as @adelineb's DD. And congrats to you, heard from chloe about your girl's excellent performance and is it your younger girl who scored 100 at last year's SA2? Heard something along this from my DDs.

        Personally, i tried out different centres but i prefer engaging private tutor because of the personalised lesson plan and 1-1 focus. So far my girls are doing very well in math and really enjoy lessons with tutor. I think it is important to also strike a balance because some private tutors whom are current sch teachers can be extremely strict which makes it stressful for a child and eventually kills the love for the subject. I understand their desire to produce results but i think both the tutor and child also need to connect well so that they can work together. For my math private tutor, she is flexible with timings and can work extremely well with my girls. Have been with her for 2.5 years and will continue on. Rates are around $40/hr and 2x week lessons, slightly higher but i think its also very affordable and reasonable considering that my girls are doing very well. Do consider her but i understand that slots are limited partly because current students including myself have booked and paid for many additional lessons and also a surge in many new student requests.

        For mummies with p5 children, make sure to push your child now so that psle year will not be too stressful also. There are impt concepts to master so make sure there is adequate practice from tutors and centres. Good luck!
        Hi Patyap pls PM me the contact info of the tutor. I'm desperately trying to find 1 for my kids who are suffering. Thanks so much in advance

            Janet32:

            My daughter attended math classes at TTL. I have seen a significant improvement in her skill level as well as in her confidence in math. I appreciate the very thoughtful curriculum that supports what she is learning in school and she enjoy the support and engaging style of teaching. She said it was challenging and she gives it 5 stars!! The joy and passion that bring to the classroom is wonderful and my daughter looks forward to class each week!

            Hi Janet32, may I know which centre is she enrolled in? I'm looking at Seletar Mall, but heard some people say the better teachers are at other locations.

            Hi Janet32, can share which centre your daughter is enrolled in? Thanks!

                  Anyone has tried this Math Tuition centre called \"Learning Out of the Box\" based in AMK? I find this tuition centre is rather shady in selling their programme and their books. I went to attend one of the sessions to see how they can \"unlocked\" the minds of the kids to become expert in Math. They oversell their programme which make the MOE teachers are not doing their job to teach the kids. Like they are the only ones in the market which has the \"secrets\" to unlocked the children's mind. I find this is overstretched. Their methods are exactly just like model drawing which are the framework which MOE schools have been drilling. Duh. They make it sound like their method is the \"revolutionary\" secrets that MOE teachers didn't process. If this is the case, they can apply for the Nobel prize award for Math Genius.


                  And their books, they market until that their books can do wonders that even Vice Principal of one of the primary schools are buying their books to teach their students. I find this is really exaggerating. I don't believe primary school resources need a \"non professionally trained\" & \"not much experience in teaching\" tutor to guide the school in teaching Math. This is too far-fetched. If you going into their website \"https://www.learningoutofthebox.org/shop\", to browse their books. There is this constant \"notifications\" that show the browser that someone just bought the book online. Wow, their Math books are selling like hot-cakes compared to the bookstores which are selling more stuffs other than Math books. This show they are quite shady in promoting their services & book.

                  Actually their programme & books are not cheap. For 5 button badges - they are selling at $29. A P5 guidebook, selling at $35. What type of guidebook can be so expensive? If the contents are really revolutionary, yes, I don't mind buying. But their contents in my observation, it's just normal challenging math questions & solutions which can be found in other good assessment books available at bookstores which is selling at most $13?

                  I have nothing against this tuition centre \"Learning out of the box\". But as I observed the way the things are being market and \"non-proven\" testimony from the MOE school, I just hope the parents will be more vigilant with their hard-earned money and be wise in choosing the right tuition centre or tutor.

                  I don't doubt the owner has a passion in teaching math and imparting passion to the students he teach. But in order to get more business, some of the ways they promoted their business I find it's is quite \"unethical\" in my own personal opinion. This is what I feel.

                  How about other parents who have tried this centre \"Learning out of the Box\"? Any input?

                        I currently have 2 students who are formerly from this centre, and their mom did share the same sentiments as you.
