The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

I have not had the chance to buy the vocabulary book. Anyone bought it yet? How is it?

Hi I have a P1 child fr 2012.
I am looking for English and Math tuition
Can anyone share which is a better branch for TAS?
Do they use same materials for all their branches and how about teachers?
As for Math, I am thinking, Andrew Er, Fabian Ng, TLL and Concept Math. Anyone can share? Or if there is a ctr that offers both Eng and Math - then can save travelling time
Many tks in adv -
It is good! Before every vocab ex, there will be notes on the words. In the notes, the children can learn the meaning, the mnemonics (how to remember it) and the usage of the word. I find this very useful and the words they use are rather close in meaning so it helps the children to differentiate between synonyms.

TAS does not do Math, some of their teachers travel to the different centres. All should be using the same materials and teachers are trained to teach in the same way.
For Math, I have not personally tried all the centres that you have mentioned but I heard
good feedback from my friends for Concept Math and Andrew Er. -
Based on your list, prob TLL is the only thumbs up centre for both subjects you looking at
-
Thank you jeestan. Do you know if they will be selling the book at Popular?
-
It should be sold at Popular, that is what they said in a letter to us. Not sure when though.

Hi,
Anyone can tell me more on TAS’s methods for teaching compo? I got their books at the bookfest. Rather impressed. Would like to find out more before joining. -
They will teach the kids how to build tension-helps in plot develp, how to make the language more metaphor-like, and how to vary their sentence structures, they also get the kids to memorise at times certain parts of the compo. Later on, they will teach them how to apply.
