Hi HappyAvon,


Thanks for your feedback.

I had enrolled my son 4.5yo last week. He is in foundation level. He wasn’t very good at phonics eventhough he had learnt phonics at Montessori early this year for a term.

He reads P&J book 5b now and i see great improvement in him. However, he is not motivated/keen to read anybook on his own. He doesn’t like to do homework, not anything academic. He prefers to be read to and playing with scissors (arts n craft).

HappyAvon, would you mind to pm me your name and child’s name to enjoy $30 discount for both of us? My son is on Saturday 9am’s class.

His teacher is Paula. He wasn’t keen to go to this central to study, i did feedback to the teacher before the class started. Luckily he changed his mind after 90minutes lesson.

Hope he progress to next level fast enough.

Let me know early as i need to provide information to the centre this saturday.

Regards

Hi charmaine, nice to hear u had enrolled yr son..dun worry n give him some time...I'm sure u will see his progress... Once they had started n enjoy the lessons, they will like to go for the class..this is watt happen to my girl...always playing at home...we dun forced her but we do hv fixed schedule for her to revise her work or doing her homework...always explain to her when time to play, she can play until siow..but when time to do learning,revision n homework, I want her to be serious n concentrate...so far she is doing well...

Maybe u can start n let him try to choose his own book? Normally they will buy what they like n will be interested to read..for my girl, I will let her choose n then see whether its suitable for her....She can buy as many books as long as she completed reading them...no chucking one side is allowed...

My girl is now in PFS n she nvr complains abt the difficulty of the content but she likes the challenges n she feel very motivated whenever she do well...

I hv pm u my gal's details...

All the best .... :celebrate:

Yes Rexxxxa is new, 4 studs in d class only. On 1 of the lesson, my dd was 5 mins late. As a result,she score 2/10...i was very disappointed. when my dd asked her why she gv her only 2 words,she told my dd,\"spelling finished!\". my dd was upset of course cos it's considered failed. To me,it shd be 2/2, not 2/10. I feel teacher R cld hv stayed behind for 5 min to gv her the remaining 8 words but she said it's not the sch policy. But they never bother about the child's feeling... I m looking for alternatives, any1 has recommendation in the west?


Jiyou2003, r our children in the same class?

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,

Hi gaagaa,

Hi i3mum,


My dd is in LiftOff program… the JE center has a new young centre manager which suggested me to start the LiftOff program all over again if I want to change the teacher. I almost faint on the spot. I already find that my dd is very way back compared to other children… I need to expose her in creative writing but I need to wait till the whole LiftOff program is finished, which is till next year April. By then my dd would in her SA1, too late already. Plus the situation now, with a lousy teacher, I’m really very vexed.

How about u? where did u sign up ur child?

Hi gaagaa,


I just replied you via pm.

Oh from what you have mentioned, to restart is a way too much! I suppose your child is in K2 this year? Can you try to ask if your child can attend other liftoff classes which is taught by more experienced teacher?
