Hi! I have the following recommendations:
Startutor is a good tuition agency if you prefer home tutoring.
For center-based tutoring, I’d suggest Stamford Scholars. They have NIE-trained teachers and have a small class size (maximum of 8).
Smart Lab is also great, especially that they develop their own in-house notes and have hands-on activities.
Hope these help!

RE: No More Rote Memorization

Hi nelli! I hope you don’t mind me asking which center you sent your daughter to. I’ve visited some centers in Hougang but still have yet to find one that I think would be great for my son. I’m getting worried because he’ll be P6 next year and PSLE is just around the corner.
Hi Tali! Sorry for the delayed response. Anyway, my daughter is currently enrolled at CCE Education. They have a branch in Hougang that’s just 5 minutes from the MRT station (#03-214 S530810). I do recommend it but of course, it’s still up to you. It doesn’t mean though, that since it worked for my daughter, it’ll work for your son the same way. I guess it depends on your son’s needs and whether CCE can provide for it or not, the last decision is yours. Good luck! -
RE: No More Rote Memorization

I feel you, JS rolling. My P4 daughter had the same problem last year. Math was kind of traumatizing for her. She somehow had the idea that if you’re smart, you can do math and, if you’re not smart, you cannot. Her confidence was greatly affected as she was getting failing marks on exams. Tuition really helps as long as you choose the best one.Hello, everyone!
Looking at how the exams are structured where questions are creative and cannot just rely on rote memorization, it is sad to see my DD struggling. I have gone through with methods like unit transfer method but those methods without good thinking skills are just useless.
Moreover, I believe that such rote memorization is going to harm my DD in the long run if she doesn’t start to learn the proper ways to use her brain.
Thus, I am asking for help from anyone who can recommend me a good education program that is real education instead of rote memorization.

I’m also on the hunt for OEQ classes, especially during the holiday break. Thanks for the suggestions.
