[quote=\"i3mum\"]Oh it's shocking! So the rest of the 66% in Lcentral did not pass? Or could it be it's new, 2 years there are not so much students yet??

Hi,
66% did not pass at LCentral??? :!:
Is it possible that she's referring to only 34% passed with A & A*?? :?
Students need to score 75% and above to score A & 91% and above to score A*.

Actually I lost my interest in LCentral after I heard that the school is only established for 2 years[/quote]Know what you mean. 2 years plus academic statistics that are not too attractive for parents....

Hi Tinkerbelle,


I think we need to ask Lcentral Jurong East on the fact. If it's true that only 34% of the students pass, then I wouldn't want to consider signing my kids.

But if it's only 34% passed with A & A*, then it's fine, at least only then attending enrichment lessons, home based learning play a part to succeed too.

Hi i3mum,

Well said.. I totally agree. :lol:

Hi


I just called Lcentral Jurong East. The lady clarified that it's 31.4% passed with A & A*, the rest of them also passed.

Hi i3mum,

Wow...you're really efficient... :salute:

34% passed with A & A* is more acceptable than just 34% passed PSLE..

[i3mum]

Haha, I m just thinking of enrolling my kids for English enrichment & want to know the facts.


Btw, I was initially keen in Tiong Bahru centre, but was suprised to know there are only 2 teachers for all the classes. It applied for Bukit Timah branch too. As for Jurong East, there are 3 full time & 3 part time teachers.

Which branch are you looking at?

LCentral is almost similar to ICR. Slightly cheaper than ICR. Both sons are in LCentral. For my K2 boy, I think the LiftOff program is pretty good. He loves going to the class. Now, he reads so much better and with more confident.


As for Success program, I personally think it is good if the kids is those self motivated type of kids. Not suitable for my elder son who is passive type of learner. Hence, I do not see much improvement for him.

Best is to take time and go check out the various centres. Because only we know roughly what suits our kids.:)

Hi gaagaa,


Can I know the ‘not so gd’ new teacher 's name? Can PM me?

I also just signed up at Jurong East Lcentral, would like to know.

Anyone has any experience with LC English tutors at Jurong East branch? I got a \"not so good\" new teacher who was caught for not completing the workbook in class despite having only 4 children. Wondering if I should continue with the term... appreciate your feedback, thanks

Hi gaagaa

Can I know if the ‘not so gd’ new teacher is from UK. I intended to sign up my DD at that centre. However, my sis told me she spotted spelling mistakes made by the teacher in my niece class, not once but few times. I was like :? This is a English class and it's supposed to be teaching them proper Eng, be it written or spoken.
