MeXiNe:

Hi there, newbie here. I've just joined as I realised there's a lot of discussion about enrichment programs. I'm looking for maths enrichment (as opposed to tuition), and i'm quite excited about the info on eNopi and MPM....i'm slightly inclined towards MPM, but I've a bad relationship with an extremely structured program. My question is - is MPM one of those hothousing programmes?


Background - I put my daughter through Kumon last year (while she was in P1), but i realised the daily 10-page thingie for homework really stresses her out (and me too, if she can't complete them). After experimenting with a private home tutor early this year, i realised I'm probably best to help her with her Maths, and so I've decided to tutor her myself. My daughter takes while to master certain concepts, and time is what I have (being a part-time SAHM). With normal tuition centres, i understand it's more of giving work, and checking answers.....so that's also not what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a program to excite my daughter about maths....and since holidays are starting, i thought why not a holiday enrichment program.

I need recommendations from parents who have seen their kids come back from maths enrichment with a spark in their eyes.

Thanks. Any other feedback is also appreciated.

Hi MeXiNe,

I'm a newbie here as well & am on this thread for the exact same reason as you. My daughter has been to Learning Lab & the worksheets are just too much for her to cope together with the school work she has to take on. She is somewhat jaded & I think the holidays is a good time to get the \"spark\" back & get them all re-charged.

Any parents with recommendations will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
