Ya practising what the learning lab used to do?

But this center is worst they forced you to attend Cci 12 hours lessons $547 B4 letting u attend the regular class. But this 12 hours classes spread across 4 days in 1 week so we cannot fetch the kid as it is during day time not even evening session

Because I cannot attend Cci they want me to purchase $247 A4 papers materials otherwise they do not let me reserve a slot for my kid in New term. Fine! I pay but now they demand for this trial class. I don't understand the logic it's not even entry test its based on that teacher personal assessment of my kid.

On my! I thot TLL was high handed forcing us to take holiday lessons. Pique Lab worst huh? :shock:

Any recommendation for one to one for Science tuition in Kembangan area? I approached a centre recently. My child is very weak in foundation. I showed the teacher at the centre my child's Science exam paper. The teacher looked through and highlighted the areas that my child is weak in. I was impressed as the teacher was able to pinpoint my child's weaknesses by looking at the paper.

the teacher told me very frankly that my child would need one to one. No point wasting money and time in group lessons. On to one - the tutor can help my child in specific areas and topics. These were the exact words used by the school teacher when I talked to my child's school teacher.

Would appreciate if anyone has recommendation. I think the tutor and the school teacher are right. As parents, we have to recognise that not every child can cope with a group class. I also mentioned that my child has low self-confidence. She is afraid of asking her school teacher and always seems to think that the teacher is picking on her when the teacher points out some mistakes she makes. But I talked to the school teacher before and a number of parents too. I know that the teacher was only trying to help my child. No doubt the teacher is very strict. But I can understand why. It is not easy to handle a class of 40 kids.

Any advice on what I can do on the self-confidence part?

There's Ultimate Math & Science at Kembangan area. 9748 6085.... my child attended the lesson with Teacher Sandy. Together with Mrs Seet, both are ex-sch teachers. Joined in Jan and scored A during PSLE. phew!

There are many tuition centers or tutors out there who have different ways of teaching or helping your kids. I think in the end, it really depends on the environment your kid is suited for. Question to ask will be whether your kid is able to do well in a group environment, or requires individual attention. In my case, i have tried both and find that my kid gets less distracted in a 1-1 setting. Thus, the next thing for me to consider is the profile of tutor that I want for my kid. This will be tougher and need to try it out sometimes, and also to understand the tutor’s strength or teaching technique. Personally i prefer full - time tutor who I find generally are more dedicated and less disruptive in changing or adjusting the tuition time for my kid. I hope this simple process will help you in finding your tutor as that is what I did for my current science tutor for my kid.

Tell them there are plenty of tuition centers that want your business. If they are serious about improving your child’s grades, they wouldn’t be so demanding. I feel that they might be running Low on resources and are therefore more selective.

Full time tutor is definitely better than a part timer. Some children get really stressed when it’s 1-1... so group would be better. Also depends on how close you are to the exams. The closer, the more attention the better.

Both centers equally bad... one is very open and demanding about it.. (you have to take a $600 course for 4 days, another $150 course for 2 days and a trial class before u can sign up for regular lessons???!!.) And the other was sneaky and made a lot of parents mad.. (now they are open about it after getting complains)

Yeap, do agree some children get really stressed in 1 to 1 setting. However, again it depends on the child as for some they may end up focusing more when just with the teacher/tutor rather than other students in the class who may distract them, and also the teacher/tutor will have his/her attention divided among so many students in group.
