Hi Chief Kiasu & All Parents,


Have anyone heard of this tution centre before. I would like to have some feedback. Many thanks.

My Kid was there with her sister... quite sometime ago, but I get them to quit the classes. It SIMPLY HORRIBLE.

Turns out that my elder kid only master how to play Dai Dee (poker) in the class. The teachers just simply walk in and out constantly, while instructing them to do their own revision. While my younger kid in a different class, can't understand what the teacher is teaching. The class is simply too noisy, all the students just chit chatting while the teacher just sit at his desk.

(How I know??? I find it too hard to believe when my kids video it down in their handphone... That shows that there is are discipline enforced in classes... and that is how I find out)

I wasted my money and trusted the wrong person for introducing me below standard tuition center.

I agree with you that there may not be much discipline in the class.
Cos sometimes my kids sms me during their lessons there!
If your kid is the type that has problem concentrating, then it may not be suitable as the student teacher ratio is large.
However they do teach ahead of lessons so the kids are not so lost during their actual lesson in school and may absorb better.
Also, with my kids their neighbours and friends are attending the tuition centre together, so they find it kinda fun!
My kids like their teachers there as the teacher will talk about happenings in the world in relation to the lesson which they find interesting.
And as hashroop has mentioned, their science teacher is pretty cool as he performs experiments in class, and during the holidays will bring the kids out on excursion.
I personally feel that my kids are there to learn and have fun, so it is worth their time and my money.

Hi parents,

Anyone has any feedback on Mavis (Marine Parade Br)?

[verxs]

Hey Tanweizhong you have just 4 posts and all of them are the same about Mavis. Are you a competitor or something?


I have both my sons at Mavis Sengkang and they thoroughly enjoy their lessons there. My boys told me that they enjoy the Science lessons there. They have shown improvements in their school results. My P5 boy was so afraid of problems sums and often did badly for Maths but since he attended lessons at Mavis, he made a huge improvement. I do not have to worry about his Maths anymore!
