Tks for the PMs. Btw, can mummies/daddies share why you chose TAS over the rest? I contemplating between MS, TAS and LCentral.

For my case, I contemplated (in increasing weightage):
1. location
2. cost
3. timing (can we make it)
4. what they teach

and the deal breaker was after the trial class, DS1 told us that he likes the class. Since then, there's no turning back.

Somehow it seems that they are not so reachable. AMK is their base. East branch I think is a place that they rent from another vendor...so it's not as big. Good luck!

I chose TAS because of their creative writing and passionate teachers. The most important factor, my DS enjoys their lessons! TAS administrators would be able to advise you which classes are suitable for your child after taking a quick assessment. Do let your child go for a free trial class once you find a suitable timing.

For MS, what I read here is that their worksheets seem to be good but it depends on your luck \"which teacher is teaching the class?\". There is actually a MS very near my place but there is actually NO comment from KSP parents here regarding that center despite having seen 2 parents asking for feedback. So I decided to try TAS after reading many positive feedback here. But it is still about your child, is it enjoyable and suitable for him/her?

Gng to view MS material this sun, but don’t really like their timing. They only have 1 P1 class on Sun, 3.30-5.30pm @ Tampines.

I think it will be more positive if your child can attend a trial lesson - that way, he/she will know what the class is like and be able to tell you if it's enjoyable.

So far, DS1 has been enjoying his lessons. And based on the school portfolio brought back, it seems that he has been improving on his work over time (from writing simple short one sentence, to writing multiple sentences). I can't attribute it to TAS directly, but I feel that they have played some part in it.
