(1999) calling all 1999 babies

CCA is not compulsory until Pri 4, right? However kids are encouraged to take up as early as Pri 3.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

hi all,
my son is in P3. He is weak in his compo, a lot of spelling mistakes and sentence structure problems. Does anyone know of a center that can help? thanks
 
Hi P3Mum

We placed our P3 son in The Learning Lab for English earlier this year and we've seen significant improvements in his compo and vocab. You can consider this centre. Its at United Square.
 
Hi Lexin,
thanks.I heard that Learning Lab screen the student before accepting them. Do they do progress assessment? What happen if they think the child did not meet their standard?
 
Hi P3Mum
There is a test before they are enrolled. I was given the impression that its objective is to assess the child so that they can better place the child in a right class. However having said that, my son did not do the test and they gave us a class time slot after a wait of 2 months. I am not sure why though.

They have tests every term. But no progress reports given to parents on how child is faring. I gauge its effectiveness from my son's school work grades. We are happy with son's improvement in English and most important of all is he enjoys the class very much despite having to do a fair bit of homework almost every week.
 
Lexin and all

Can I join in?

Lexin,do you happen to stay around that area?I did think of sending my gal there but the distance really hold me back...

Do you mum intend to start tuition for your kids in some subject for p4?

Currently, am teaching my gal all subjects, m thinking whether I should farm out some subjects,like chinese, even though I can manage...
 
Hi Lexin,
I understand that you know of a tutor who can push the kids and helps them to excel. Do you mind to tell me more about this tutor and the contact? I have outsourced the english since P1, not very good in english myself. As for chinese, I did so mid of this year (his result is terrible).
 
Hi Lexin,
sorry, my previous query is to address to Joy747.
Hi Joy747,
hope you can help. I always have problem trying to coach my son. Have been changing tuition center for him every year. Still searching for one that can help him.

Does any one know of a good coach for table-tennis or badminton for kids? My dd would like to learn
 
Thanks, sas. Wonder, is she fierce? or child friendly? Where does she teach? Would appreciate how your child likes the coach?
 
Hi Easy, Lin Mu - male coach. He and his partner teaches at Clementi, Tampines, Khatib and woodlands area. My son has been training under him for a few years and knew alot of friends.

Make appointment with Lin Mu and bring your dd to see see look look at other children during training then decide later. No obligation as Lin Mu is easy going type.
 
Thanks Sas. Will try to get dd's friends to join in, hopefully more interesting. Are there usu more boys who learn badminton?
 
I saw the message above about exam papers.

Why don't you all go to www.idiscipulus.com? There are exam papers/test papers available for download...for free. It's also a great online learning tool. Esp with all these H1N1 fears...don't need face-to-face contact. Save a lot of $$$ too, it's much cheaper than centre tuition.

Basically, it was started up by an ex-VJC teacher and all of its tutors are teachers from top schools. Some of these teachers have even trained students for Physics, Maths Olympiad, etc. Subjects offered include Maths, Physics, CHemistry, Econs, English, GP.

To ask academic questions, what you do is you have to buy credits on the website, and then you can start posting questions to help your child. Credits will be deducted per question, but it's so much cheaper than conventional tuition.

Hope this helps!
 
School work is kind of demanding on our kids nowadays. Project work seems to be an in-thing. some even need to do survey. Face this with my kids in sec and JC.

Seeking for your help... to complete one 5-min survey. Need to collect 100 responses?!#@? Tough!!!

Pls click here if you can help>>>
