Go for trial lesson and talk to the teacher after class to assess suitability of class for your kids. Hope your kids will enjoy their class!

Your question is a bit broad. Um, what are you looking for? General eng enrichment? creative writing only? Class size? Fees?

[Taurus]

I’m refering to their Eng enrichment and creative writing… I heard TAS class is very big and the teachers are mostly undergraduate, very young…

TAS classes I think can stretch to 18, asst teachers are put in if the class size exceed a certain number (sorry can't recall).


I'm not sure about the others, but am sure my DS1's teacher is an undergrad. Am fine with her becos he loves her to bits and enjoys her lessons - can hear him from outside participating in her classes.

My personal feel - just becos one has degree doesn't mean that person can teach. Even ex-teachers also I may have reservation (during my study career, I have encountered teachers who were simply ineffective). In fact when I first approached TAS and they offered that their teachers were grads, I couldn't have cared less. It's only after attending the trial class that I decided to go with them.

Sorry no clue about LP. Best to go down and have a look at the facility, teaching staff, materials and if you are people oriented enough, go ask parents who are waiting for their kids. I dropped a centre becos one parent was going there in a huff to drop class.
