Comparing Science Enrichment Programs

24hr-mum:

any gd sci tuition centre or teacher to recommend?

Heard that Mastery Learning Centre (Bishan & Balmoral Plaza) is good at preparing students for exams/PSLE (especially in Science). Any parents whose kids are/were in Mastery Science? Appreciate your feedback and comments...

My dd started with Just Education about 1.5 months ago. Looking at the lesson plan, they do spend quite a bit of time on each topic. Though it might be too soon to see any results, I have noticed that dd could now better remember certain concepts/keywords, perhaps due to constant reinforcement over several weeks.


Downside to Science tuition in a group setting is that the topics covered might not synchronize with what’s being taught in school so as a parent, I have to "chip in". However, it is really difficult to find a good Science tutor (individual). I have tried, and all the tutor does is make dd do test paper after test paper, then mark based on answer key. After a while, dd just spaced out.

My neighbour sent her kid there, she said his concepts were clearer after that but not sure if it translated into actual results.

Not sure, I did not ask her about that, but I know she does not mind big classes. She sent her son to Mavis before and it has rather big classes.

Hi,

Thanks. I think some children adapt well in big class as long as parents must monitor their rogrss.

[glendt]

Yes, I think big class is not really an issue if the kids can learn and teacher can control.

Hi,
