Need to take up refresher course for auto car.

Any recommendation for a patient driving instructor who is based in Toa Payoh / Braddell?

Many thanks!

Hi I would recommend driving school thou they are usually a bit more expensive.
I just took up refresher course from the driving school ( 4 lessons in total)
and able to pick up driving again! :xedfingers:

For refresher course, I actually feel that you can get your hubby to coach you. I only started to drive after I passed for 8 years. My hubby took me to a deserted car park near my house and let me drive rounds in the car park. Well, only me in the car, he was with DS watching me (the car to be exact) at a void deck nearby. (Think he was too scared to be in the car then )

Although it went off quite well in the car park, I only started to go on the road in day time after 2 nights of driving on the deserted street when people all went to sleep. And I didn't dare to drive on roads with BIG CARS.... they seems like going to sandwich you when you are driving in between 2 of those.

I took sometime to get the courage to drive with many cars on road, but will avoid driving next to BIG vehicles.

You just need to start off slowly first and gradually press harder on the pedal, making rounds and save the money....
(thou some might say LIFE is more precious than MONEY... )

Well, I am actually here to see if there is good private instructor can recommend for my DS (yes he's the one watching me back then). I had a private instructor 20 yrs back, but has lost his contact.

Would like DS to learn manual car as it can convert to auto easily. So if anyone do have a good one, please PM me. Thanks!

My Malaysia friend is sending her DD to SIN for school and had got a place at CHIJ ST. JOSEPH’S CONVENT S3 express.


Need someone give me more info about the school.

Thanks!

Hi,


we missed the NUS High open house and would like to find out more about their DSA. Also would like to know what's the diff of the school with others.

Thanks!

Hi Supermama, you may want to 'hop over' to the NUS High thread under 'secondary school/ IP parents networking' forum to take a look or post your questions. If you are considering the school, it would be better to understand the program before making a decision, as it runs on a different system from mainstream schools and IP.

Hi tiggermum, thanks a lot. Had hop over and get lots of info. Thanks again.

Hi, anyone know of any tutor or any centre that provide good lessons on compo writing and compre answering skills (both Eng and Chinese)?


My ds1, sec2, reads a lot but compo writing not focus, and compre Ans skills not there and hence score low for this section (Ch & Eng). ds2 worse, don’t read or read very simple books, like Geronimo, he is now p5, and will never read Ch books, even teacher gives the class a book every month for book review. I am busy with my work and not able to sit and read with him, often just 1 or 2 para and leave the rest to him.

Ds2 attended TLL but quit after we find they learn too little, though standard is high, we switch back to the home tutor, but she gives too much work and 2 hr a session a bit too long for ds2. Spoken to her a few times
before but not much improvement, and now ds dread to have her lesson.

Ds1 & 2 are both attending Ch classes in a popular Ch enrichment centre now. Ds1 finds it helpful cos his school tr (supposed to be for students with better ch results) doesn’t teach and he missed his previous class tr. Ds2 finds it redundant as he said those are taught in sch and some are taught differently from sch and he feels confused. Also trs go through ws and comp writing with them, not letting them to try by themselves first, he likes what TLL did by letting them do he selves first then go thru the paper.

Can someone pls recommend some good tutor / centre that can teach both compo and compre skills?

anyway, if kantangs dont support bilingualism, dont see a need for them to scramble to top schools. they will suffer there eventually too. fastest and easiest way just set up a kantang school where all kantangs can gather and kantangise. :celebrate:

no need, they will just come out with another policy and turn these top schools to kantang schools...................

May be Jim Roger should migrate to elsewhere…

I wonder if these people should call themselves elite. Elite should be people who are intelligent. But what I see now is just the opposite, they are not even able to take the challenge from Chinese language, they find it difficult, which means they admit themselves not as intelligent as those who can master the Chinese Language.


Poor Singaporean, we are ruled by this group of inadequate \"Elite\"
