RE: All About English Creative Writing
Teacher Joy is good. My kid enjoys going for her lessons. Ever since they restarted their library system, my children have been reading everyday, they can’t put the books down.
My children also picked up the way they teach spelling and use the same method in school and they now have no problem in spelling at all. The spelling booklet they have is rather useful.
Anyone knows if they will be starting new P1 classes at AMK? My neighbour wants to join a new class. -
RE: The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion
I just transferred one of my child over to Sing Post branch as I cannot make it for the AMK timing anymore. My kid used to be under teacher Martin at AMK. He is very good, can really engage my child and his teaching is thorough. Now he is under teacher Elaine. Teacher Elaine is also very good. She will explain to me what she has taught and now that they are teaching more application of phrases, they use strategies like building tension line to plot the story etc, she will explain what it means. And when my child is not clear of anything, she will stay back with my child to explain.

RE: Comparing English Enrichment Programmes
Hi coast,
I am also interested to let my child join TAS. But i cant make it for weekday classes, do they have other classes on weekends? I also heard very good reviews from a friend whose son is in their P4 class and also from the forum. The last time I called them, the class that I want is full -

Thanks for the information. I can make more informed decisions now esp regarding TLLCreative founder was teaching at tll so most of her students leave tll to join her centre.
As for us, no, my kid will not be joining creative as of now. Based on my understanding creative fees is also quite ex. -

Herbie:
is important to grt feedback from yr kid'd tutor abt yr kid's progress. If there is progress then stay on. Quite a no. Of kids has left tll to join creative cos they were the founder's ex student my kid is leaving cos i am concern if they can't find a gd teacher for her class then she will be stuck again for another semester.... And i have enough of this replacemnt teacher thingy....
Hi Herbie,
What do you mean by founder's ex students? Do you mean that the ex-students are setting up the other centre? Have you visited the other centre? (Sorry kind of missed out the name, Creative something). Is it good?
Where do you plan to send your dd now? I am quite surprised that so many teachers are leaving TLL. -

RE: Comparing English Enrichment Programmes
Hi ccgoh or anyone who has children at TAS,
How are the teachers like? What is their teaching style? Are they very strict? Are they like the Ang Mo kind (not strict but children love them) or like the more traditional teacher kind (strict but kids may not totally like them)?
My kids like the Ang Mo style but honestly sometimes I find they do not really take what the teacher says seriously and apply what they have learnt because they think everything is ‘fun’ -
RE: [Yishun] Tutors/Tuition Centres/Enrichment
I am a new mother at the forum and do not know of many enrichment centres. But I have heard people talk about The Alternative Story and also read good comments abou them here. Have you tried them? They are at Yishun but moving to Ang Mo Kio soon. I have not signed up with them yet but from what I hear, they seem to be good.
