I feel if the kids really do follow TLL since P1 their curriculum may actually work but the kid also can’t be too weak in the first place .
However the teachers TLL engage for lower primary I feel are not so dedicated. Not sure for upper primary . Lower primary teachers based on My google ,a lot of them came from “famous preschools” not ex MOE teachers and some I saw do not have a degree too.

Don’t want to say anything discriminating over here but after paying so much for the fees I have different expectations of the teachers . And based on what my girl told me , I do not think the teacher she has now actually tries to guide the kids to think but rather teach them “shortcut ways” or solving methods via rote learning . At P2, I don’t think kids should be “spoon fed” solving methods like this . This is what is making me look for alternatives to TLL

Not surprising. There are more math enrichment centers with advanced mathematics programmes that now teach math olympiad or challenging math to primary 1 kids. TBH, not sure if the primary 1 kids can even understand all the advanced math methods.

I think they have copyrighted the worksheet (printed and stated on every page of the worksheet itself) so I cannot put up on the forum. One class is about 1.5 hours long.

One set is about 15pages, with about 4 pages guided sums and 4 pages sums as homework. They usually do have 1-2 more challenging questions that I do not know how to do, but then my Maths is quite bad unlike my hub. My hub should be able to do them.

The problem is, my son does not know how to do after tuition class, these homework problem sums, not just the hard ones and when I ask him about the guided examples, he does not know either. I do not know why he is like this, and what is the reason for being so clueless after tuition class. He isn't such a weak student in Maths and can score almost full last year.

He has been selected for GEP first round but he wasn't a top kid kind either. He does work really slowly and is very bad at Chinese.

My child attends CM too but still cannot do some of the homework although the centre mentioned that the homework questions were similar to those that were covered in the classes. I am in urgent need to look for 1-1 tuition now before PSLE. Anyone has good recommendation?

Recommended alternatives to CM would be http://www.nicklebeetutors.com/ and https://www.ammielwan.com.sg/.

Hi Tinkerbell, I have seen many of your posts promoting different tutors and centres. Did your child try all these places?

If only I have enough disposable income to splurge on tuition and enrichment for my kids! LOL I think i mentioned to you before right? I mostly teach my eldest kid using psle materials bought off carousell and from trading with other parents.

Just doing my bit sharing what I know from the parent groupchats. Like i always say, caring and sharing makes the world go round!

Hi, am looking for enrichment school for P5 advanced Math (tackling heuristic or paper 2 questions) in the East. Any review on The Math Lab (Bedok) or Math Heuristic (Tamp), or any other recommendations? Appreciate much!

Perhaps you can consider https://mmavens.com/? They opened a new branch last year at parkway centre.

They focus on advanced primary school mathematics (tackling heuristic or paper 2 questions) and gep mathematics.

For other enrichment schools in the central area that teach advanced primary school mathematics (tackling heuristic or paper 2 questions) and gep mathematics, you can consider https://www.joyouslearning.com.sg/gep-advanced-mathematics and https://nicklebeetutors.com/advanced-psle-math-masterclass/. Both don't have any branches in the east though.
