SereneSanjay:

Hi


Is there a reason for a decline in his grades? Was it a class test that he did badly in?

Has he always had tuition?

Nope. He did not have El Tuition.

Thanks parent_in_west. I received a call from her. Currently she takes in student from P4 onwards. I've requested her to consider P3 if there is a demand. I really need to get one for my girl.


Does anyone have any recommendation for good English tutor in the west. I prefer to get one thru word of mouth instead of tuition agency.

Have you found your tutor?

I’m looking for English tutor for my dd P6. Presently, she has tuition but did not see any improvement on her comprehension. Is there any tutor can recommend.

Dear Parent-in-west,


I tried to contact Serena but to no avail. She must be very busy. I have emailed her too. Can you kindly ask her to call me? My no is 9821 2040. Thank you very much.

Hi,

Help! Any parents can advise pls! My K2 nephew has been with ICR for almost 2 years, still cant read simple words. (ok, sometimes can read simple words, sometimes cannot) 

After talking with his ICR teacher, found out he has difficulties with blending, even the teacher admitted that phonics-based teaching may not be suitable for him. :stompfeet: :mad: (now than say, aft much probing)

Do you know of any centres that teach english using the whole-word based approach? Thank you in advance!

Hi, have you managed to contact Ms Serena? I received a pm from one of the parents asking about Ms Serena too so I msg her. She is busy with the setting up and registration of her own learning centre so she has probably missed your call. I think it is better to sms her and leave your contact details.

hi dokomo


Usually, kids from 4yo can start reading and blending already… for a K2 to be unable to read well after 2 yrs of enrichment is something the parents should be concerned about.

Take the boy for an eye check first. There could be vision issues.

The pple who posted replies in the previous page also mentioned that ICR is ineffective. So maybe you want to try another school?

My boy attended Zoophonics for 1 yr when he was 4yo and he could read very well without my help. I took him out once he knew how to blend words. He’s P2 already and doing well in English. I only help him occasionally with the difficult sight words.
