Comparing English Enrichment Programmes

[Champion]

sksk:

My boy will be P1 next year. He is currently with \"I Can Read\" but I feel this school is more suitable for pre-schoolers. I'm looking for others more suitable for primary school children. Not keen about Kumon. How about Morris Allen or Mindstretcher? Any other recommendation?

Hi sksk!
There is a discussion over at this thread and Mummy phtthp has a list of recommendations:-

Is Lorna Whiston the only place with native teachers? I'm keen to help my son improve on writing but I also want him to continue learning English the proper way, not just good enough for good grades but to be really good at the language. I've read some model essays locally that are filled with 'chim' vocab and sentences but as a whole they are so boring and lacking in style.

Nope. LCentral Novena is one of the Place with native teacher too.
My daughter went to LCentral Novena for Foundation base for 3months and her pronunciation is getting better than before.
For my own opinion ii would recommended you to enroll your child to LCentral Novena if your child age is around 3- 12years. They will actually give your child a test to see which level they're suitable in.
My girl was being tasted to start from the lowest on Foundation base first. But now she have been upgrade to Launchpad.
You can enroll you child at LCentral Novena.

Hi Cherlyn,


Now one of my nephew’s classmates wants to join his class at Sing Post but there
has been no vacancy. He is also P5. Which class is your dd in? Is there still space?

Do you know who is teaching TAS Nsa classes? I have been wanting to send my child for it as i heard from a friend that it was good but not sure who the teacher is as my friend’s son only attended for a short while then he had CCA during that timeslot. Not sure if the teacher is still the same. Anyone knows who the teacher is and what book they are covering now during Nsa?

NSA is taught by teacher Mae-Ann. She teaches my son for the

normal English programme and she is very good, my son looks
forward to every lesson. I wanted to send my daughter for NSA under
her but the timing does not work for us. I am not sure what book they
are doing now but I think the last time I asked, it was The Giver. They will
cover newspaper articles as well.
