fz congrats! My dd went for 1st round, didn't make it to practical round though, sadly how did your ds prepare for 1st round? no training in her school either. teacher said self study, faint!

fz, my dd left the choice to me. She 大事 always 没意见 or probably dare not make huge decision because she knows I will agree but she has to bear consequences for her choice but come to 小事 or bo liao stuff she will 意见多多 always fight till she wins ROFL I ask her next time she expect me to pick her...

bebe my dd's engine forever rusty. On sat I asked her to complete her Chinese tuition homework. She walk in and out, idle, from 5pm to 9pm still incomplete. Fine, I told her must finish by morning since her Chinese tuition in the afternoon. After lunch, I found out her homework still...

fz depends. if ad hoc competition representing school, then of course will opt for competition if regular training in school, then I will switch tuition timing or opt out of school programme if not essential ones

oh my, last week of school holiday! For Maths, my dd managed to touch on every topic, briefly. Not possible to complete every questions in assessment books but only attempt a couple of questions in each unit. At least know a bit of everything lor but yet to go indepth. aiya 好过没有 lah, need...

2 weeks of holiday gone by. Progress behind schedule, unproductive!

avrilf Oh I see. Didn't realize MS got different syllabus for different center. Was told same worksheets across island Current Science class is full, so many students. Some topics covered in school are yet to be covered in MS

fz Still need to do projects and assignments over holiday. On top of that 'wasted' 2 weeks because need return to school for supplementary classes/remedial in the morning. Seems very little time left to do any revision. I hope my newly acquired stack of assessment books won't become white...

bebe Indeed, MS is still better than nothing. Until we can find something better, got to hang on to MS fz After I made the decision not to do 2 centers concurrently, I actually received feedback from a student of that new center I shortlisted. Luckily never sign up otherwise stuck for...

bebe You continuing with MS while searching for another English tutor? I just realized it's not that easy to change center either. If sign up with a new center, besides paying deposit and registration fees, 1st month fees etc, still can't withdraw from MS immediately. Need some time to...

Hi Anyone tried Stalford learning centre for English? Seems not popular, hardly any review online. There is a branch near my place though

avrilf Why the decision to switch out from MS Science? Which new center did you switch him to? I agreed, time not enough considering the amount of materials to cover. I doubt my dd will have time to revisit previous year materials after she spend considerable time on all those newly...

fz She didn't go in order of assessment book topic. Just pick any topic she fancies to try. As long she covers all chapters eventually, I leave it to her discretion lor Congrats on your boy's results! bebe I hope her effort is sustainable. I guess she is surprised by her own bad...

These few days my dd is working hard on Maths. Her Maths result below expectation. Of course lah, other than school homework, she never practice a single extra question. Only ching cai ching cai look through school worksheets then considered exam revision done. Obviously due to lack of practice...

fz Actually I have even more complaints about MS English than Science. At least Science can copy answers in class then revise at home subsequently but English is a different ball game mah. My dd English is not improving at all, in fact sch English result sliding. And I've no way to gauge her...
