I firmly believe that language learning should start as early as possible. I want to ensure that my child is receiving a unique and valuable education that sets them apart from what other centers offer. I want him to do well in exams. But my goal is for my child to develop a deep understanding of English that goes beyond just achieving good grades. I'm eager to know if this program can help him develop this kind of mastery and appreciation for English.<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2133381</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2133381</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[sandy46410]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 05 May 2024 13:39:43 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Comparing English Enrichment Programmes on Sun, 05 May 2024 02:31:43 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><b>sandy46410\" post_id=\"2133341\" time=\"1714841066\" user_id=\"187237:</b><blockquote style="border:1px solid black"><br />...<br />I've recently enrolled my son in Primary 1 English enrichment classes at TLL, and I'm also exploring other options by taking trial classes at W@W, LCentral, British Council, and Julia Gabriel.<br />As I compare fees, I notice that TLL is more expensive than the other centers.

I’m curious to understand the justification for the higher cost.<br /><br />To give some background, my son has been attending math and Chinese enrichment classes, and despite we being a non-Chinese family, he has been doing exceptionally well in Chinese and in Maths he is a few classes ahead. We want to replicate this success in English.<br /><br />My goals for his English enrichment are:<br /><br />1) To become highly proficient in English, recognizing its importance as a business communication language.<br />2) To excel in academics according to the Singapore curriculum.<br /><br />I believe, for language we always need to start early. I cannot guide him consistently myself because of time constraint.<br /><br />If TLL provides exceptional value and superior quality compared to other centers, I’m ok.<br />English is so important that I am ok to invest a second enrichment for writing, speech &amp; drama etc.  But it needs to add value.<br /><br />I’d appreciate insights from experienced parents or educators to help me make an informed decision. Thank you!</p>

Most importantly is to have our children enjoy their learning in the process and gain insights into their own learning styles.  <br />- Make good use of the trials to see if your child has some chemistry with the teacher. The teacher-student relationship makes a BIG difference over time. <br />- Check in with the teacher if you feel that your child can gain more from a lesson. Languages take time to pick up too, so don't be too quick to pull your child out of a programme just because there aren't \"results\".<br />- If you're planning to go TAS, I recommend the creative writing programme if you want to drill writing weekly or already have a separate tuition covering paper 2. If not the overall english programme covers everything.<br /><br />Atb in your search!<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2124121</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2124121</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[pokoyoko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Nov 2023 15:01:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Comparing English Enrichment Programmes on Fri, 10 Nov 2023 07:33:42 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">Isn’t myfirstskool a kindergarten only?</p>
