Hi, my son failed his PSLE with very low score. The school is encouraging me to put him to North light but I am hoping for him to repeat another year, at least working towards Spectra. His all subjects are very weak and he drop off his mother tongue. With 3 subjects and new scoring system next year, I am not sure how is it going to affect him. His math is very bad, he cannot memorize his time table till now and he is still very childish at this stage, happy go lucky boy. Should I still insist in working towards spectra or let him go to north light. Any one facing the same situation as me. Btw, is there any good tutor to recommend.he is now attending DAS for English, previously attended Math as well. But I find that the improvement is very slow.

Hi, May I know if there is any student care near Anderson Pri School, other than TLC (which is converting to childcare) and Pro-Teach. Please advise if there is any, opening the option to Bishan as well. Tks

I've tried ICR for awhile, but did not see any improvement, felt so wasted, money down the drain, so stopped for a period of time


Felt that dd is ready to start again and was not sure which program would be suitable for her, but heard of a freelance tutor who specializes in phonics and decided to try her out as her rates were pretty reasonable and the best part...she comes right up to my doorstep! Hehe. For a reasonable rate and 1-to-1 service, I thought, why not? I'm paid more for ICR anyway.

Honestly, I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of the program as well. I mean at $50/1.5hr session for 1-to-1 home class, what can I expect right? (I do know of others who charge up to $150 per session D:) But I was surprised when I met the teacher for the first time, she was young and bubbly and was very enthusiastic in her teaching, dd enjoys her sessions very much and she is also creative in her teaching methods. She makes use of lots of games and interactive tools instead of solely paper and pencil which can sometimes get very boring for young children.

Have seen so much improvement as compared to ICR, better service and better price haha... So mummies, expensive does not mean it is always good...

Anyway, good things must share! So pleased with dd's progress and hope to help you too! Pm me for her contact details if interested! She also offers creative writing sessions at a slightly cheaper rate, but dd is still too young for that, will try it out in the future when she is old enough hehe...

Hi lovellejoy, can share with me the contact for your private tutor. Tks

Hi, my boy is a slow learner,currently in little skoolhouse k2.after diagnose,he might need to retain another year.according to the therapist,it is best to change school.they are suggesting PCF to me.is PCF good and do they provide to slow learners?what is the ratio in each class?any good pcf in yishun or amk.
