      Hi all, d


      My DD is weak with the Science open-ended questions (ie Science Paper 2). I would like to send her to an enrichment class to help her how to answer open-ended question.

      I came across The Pique Lab Learning Center - http://pslescienceworkshop.com/

      Did anyone try out the Science enrichment class in The Pique Lab Learning Centre ?

      I would like to send my DD for the P6 Science - CCIā„¢ Course Over 3 Days @ $600.

      Appreciate your advise and comment. Thanks in advance


      Hi, If your child is above average, it is worth a try. Like I say, the notes are very colourful and the key points are there.

      I just send my kid for CCI spread over 5 weeks. Its basically a 3 hour sessions where they crammed about 3 topics over 3 hours session, with a lot a lot of handcopying of things that the teachers wrote on the board. I personally felt copying isnt called engaging students ( thats why is 3 hours maybe), with 2 breaks in between, each break is 15 minutes.

      That time the class we attended is packed with 12 to 13 students. Each time the class ended, I always see anxious parents asking their children how is the lessons and so on. I guess a lot of anxious and last minute parents sent their children there. (like myself šŸ˜„ )

      If there are better alternatives ( like find a good tutor who can follow your child long term), I guess you can try out others.

      The regular classes are $280 per month. need to pay 3 months upfront. That is $840 paid in advance. It is not cheap, with 12 or 13 in a class, with teachers divided attention among 13, I wonder how much my child can absorb. Not to mention there is a 15 minutes break for the 2 hour regular class, where you can see the students flocking to mcdonalds to buy a fast meal ( That again is unproductive, i felt the break is unnecessary as students need to refocus again after the break) and serious students are disrupted by the students who came back from mcdonalds and munching away)

      I am more concerned that the teachers there cannot answer my child's questions on the spot... : :slapshead:

      I guess at $280 a month for Primary Level and 13 students in a class, they need to show that they are a premium tuition centre.
      Or perhaps.....maybe at $180 a month, I will lower down my expectations šŸ˜†

      In any case, like what another parent say, the sales gimmicks are good.

      Thank you very much for your advise and sharing.

      Hi,


      My DD is weak with P6 Science Open-ended questions (Paper 2).

      I would like to find an enrichment class to help her in this area.

      I came across this center The Pique Lab Learning Centre (located at Serene Centre) and they offer P6 2017 CCIā„¢ Science Course @ $598. (http://pslescienceworkshop.com/)

      I want to check if anyone had sent their kid for the above class and would like to seek their frank feedback about this center.

      Or do you have any other recommendation. Thanks in advance.
