Ahhh thx Sky, looks good but its combined with S&T, which zac has already perfected. So i’d be wasting half of my $300 [/quote]

Hi Zac mum could you share how do you work with your kid on perfecting S&T? I had used your science compilation it is very good. I wonder if you do the same by compiling all the past year paper question. Tips are much appreciated on other component like grammar, compre cloze, vocab.

We used this book for practising S&T, it is a very structured way for learning all the common types of qns. Once my child was well-versed in this, I moved on to actual PSLE papers. The answer keys by EPH are unbeatable in explaining the model answer. I never went back to all those lousy school exam papers’ answer keys.

Sorry I don’t have tips on grammar, compre cloze and vocab (other than read widely - which my child does - and just practise those actual PSLE papers and mark/analyse using the EPH answers).

Hi , whats the difference between write connection and writers at work? Which is better for composition? Thank u

[Helpmissy]

Which centre is better than TLL? TLL has gd materials but their online lessons are not worth it. DS tends to drift off shortly after.

I would like to recommend ds English tutor. She is a very bubbly teacher. She is able to teach creative writing, paper 2 and oral. I find that it is very rare for tutor to be able to teach writing and paper 2. Most of them teach only paper 2.

But this tutor is very strong in Paper 1 as she taught in a writing school before.

If you need her contact, please pm me.

Hi,

Do you mind the share the teacher’s contact details, thank you!

Hi,
I think there’s really no one size fit all solution when it comes to learning. I have a child who went to an ex-TLL teacher who set up her own center. I thought she was doing great and she enjoyed the lessons too. However, due to timing, I have to change center. I changed her to TLL and put her under a tutor that’s been there for a long time (one of the veteran). But I was quite shocked when she came back with her TLL practice tests initially. She scored in the 70s range for most of them. Previously, in the other centre, she was scoring the 90s or high 80s. Yes, I believe TLL materials were also tougher. But I didn’t realized that the teacher also matters. I stayed with TLL and change to another teacher after 1 yr. Now, my child likes the class environment (she claims more vibrant and motivating), the teacher and enjoys the lessons. Her center test results have also since improved significantly.
In fact, I didn’t know that she wasn’t scoring well initially in TLL and thought that such results are kind of norm since TLL materials are tougher. Also, back in school, she was doing fine. So in my case, TLL does work for my child now (hoping for same teacher next yr).
But I also know of friends who pulled out the kids from TLL as they felt the kids are not doing so well. It could be the teachers, maybe. But I think their materials are good, if you want to stretch the kids a bit.

Hi,
May I know which English teacher in TLL who’s teaching your child?
