I think should call first. The AMK address is blk 703, Ang Mo Kio near the macdonalds near AMK hub. It is #01-2535 at the 2nd floor. Nt too sure of opening hours but weekends it is 9 am - 2 pm, monday 4 - 7.30 pm, I think fri it is at night.

My nephew used to be at Morris Allen, my sister in law said it was good exposure for him but in mid primary level, she switched to a more academic based centre as they may not be so school based. For mindstretcher I am not too sure about them but I think they should be more school based.

Oh I know that the teacher changed but I heard from a friend whose dd is in their P5 that he is good. At first she also thought the questions were not marked but after checking, she realized that the teacher did not ask them to do the questions but would go through the following week but her dd went to do first. Her dd actually preferred him to the older teacher before as he adds more life to the class and also the science notes are very clear.

Which mindstretcher branch is the best for Maths?

Hi,
The biggest classes are 16 in one class. There is 1 assistant teacher in the class so I find that still can control. A bit cramped but from what I hear when I am outside (the teachers talk quite loudly), the students seemed engaged and my kids tell me they like bigger classes as there is more fun competing.

For P3/4 for weekend, I am not too sure, I think there is a sat afternoon slot at AMK, for P1/2, I think there are sat morning classes.

Thanks SAHM_TAN for the recommendations! I tried the Penang food at this place near Aljunied MRT station at Lorong 25a Geylang, the food is very good and authentic especially loved the Penang Laksa!

Hi,


Anyone has feedback on TAS science programmes?

Hi LLTan,

Their science programmes are good from my experience, my older one used to take science from them but when they moved to AMK, they stopped their P6 science classes but he was with them when he was in P5 and he did very well after joining. The concepts taught are clear and they use mnemonics in their notes to explain concepts clearly. At the same time, they do experiments from time to time and I liked they way teach the kids how to answer section B type of questions. My kid knew how to answer exactly using the right conceptual words kind that the teachers in school look for.

Hi Trina,


Which class was your child in? My 2 kids have been at TAS for more than a year, under different teachers and so far the teachers have been great. My younger one is in P3 but also goes for P2/3 class but the materials used at P2/3 level is for higher level P3 from what I can see.

Both my children have benefitted a lot from TAS, their composition writing has improved a lot. Their comprehension as well. For my older boy, he used to be getting just a passing grade but nowadays he can get 18 over 20 marks. My younger one attends science classes there as well and his science has improved as well.

Could be that the teacher you had was not very experienced in teaching at TAS?

Hi,


My wife and kids love Penang food and have been craving for it ever since we came back from Penang. Anyone knows where to find good Penang food here? :?

Hi nz,


Have you heard about TAS? My kids have been with them and their results have improved by a lot. They have definite methods about teaching most of the components for paper 2. You can go for a free trial to try them out.
