phtthp:

my niece P4 this year.

How much is school fees per Term at Bishan ?

Eh, they don't go by per term. I paid for their annual membership which comes up to abt $80 per subject mthly my children took up in SmartLab (for secondary). I think it is better to email or contact them to ask for more?

Tuition this type of thing, you don't try, you will never know how good they are and if they will benefit your child. And trying will take a few months to notice the results. I used to see people jump tuition centre every month! Maybe see where got promotion go where take.. Lol :imcool:

I send my children to Smartlab in Bishan. Yes they are good! My children benefited a lot under them :celebrate:


They have been around for more than 10 years providing results, they put their students' results on the website (http://www.smartlab.com.sg)!

Years before, I asked a not-so-close friend of mine where she put her children for tuition, their grades are always top few in class. She told me she didnt give them any tuition, she don't give them stress.

I was quite sad that time learning that other people don't attend tuition can score so well. AND YOU KNOW WHAT! There were a few times, I spotted her in her car bringing two of her children to SmartLab for tuition, I was standing there waiting for my children. That time my mind was thinking, she damn kiasu, got good things don't want to share with me! Not as if I am asking her to pay! Lucky, I found them on google and tried them out years ago... Don't know why some people are \"sell fish\" when they come to tuition this type of thing.. Keep quiet keep quiet, got good tuition centre like SmartLab also don't want to share! Not like me, I always tell people I sent my children to SmartLab for tuition and they did well in the exam! Lol~

Would really want to thank the teachers there for always going the extra mile to help my children when they have questions about schoolwork and homework.

SmartLab should pay me for this good review I wrote for them! hehe...

So many "Labs" nowadays! Lol… My children are still in SmartLab. Have been with them for years already…

SmartLab is good! I recommended a lot of friends to them and most of their children improved :celebrate:

ppnqq:

But are we allowed to pay by installment? Is it really worth to pay the membership (that means don't have to pay monthly fee anymore?)? I mean, what if half way through the program I don't find it good and wanted to withdraw my child out?


So you are all taking the normal tuition class, right? Wonder what is the difference btw their normal tuition teaching and the guaranteed one. Imagine $3000 PER subj! Don't think will take up this.

Anyone in the guaranteed program mind sharing your experience and feedback pls? Any difference in the methodology or materials? Anything special from the normal ones?

Thank you.

I just read up about the guaranteed programme thingy and called them up to ask.. The money stated in their website for the guaranteed programme is for a whole year, no matter when you start the class, you are still paying that full amount.. If our children do not get the \"agreed\" grades, they will have a 100% refund to us. I think that explains the difference in fee. Think is the 100% refund portion.. Those parents interested, maybe you all can call in to enquire.. I am not veri sure.. Lolz..

For my membership programme with smartlab, I was made to understand that if in any point of time we are going to terminate, they will pro-rate the lessons according to the normal fees for the subjects we took and refund us the balance.. That is why I signed up.. Yes, I paid in installments at a small admin fee.. After the installments, I do not need to pay anything else for the membership period.. This one i am quite sure.. Hahaha..

i called and understood that the guarantee prog is only for PSLE results, and after interviewing the student.

but they have a membership prog. if eg p3, u pay $2500 a year and the child can go tuition for as many subjects as he wants.
one sub is $150-155. so two subjects already worth it.
they said they will teach the topic, not jus throw the wksheets at the child

yaya~ i put them inside the membership scheme this year.. lolz.. According to my children, the teachers will do teaching in class first, then after that the teachers will go through worksheets. As for English, I am not very sure. Since I paid the membership, I just put them in.. *Kiasu* Oops..

ppnqq:

Thanks DinoMum, finally there is one reply :love:


Bishan branch is good? Is your child in the upper primary or lower? Did yoiu take up their normal tuition or the guaranteed program that cost a bomb? Mind elaborating on how good are they pls? Thank you so much.

Hi ppnqq

My children are in secondary levels already. Er, on how good they are ah.. I donno how to say. I see based on my children results and also the notes and worksheets they took back. Their notes are very concise. That time when I signed up with them, they are one of the better tuition centres which is more exam-oriented.. The teachers there helped my children with their questions even after tuition which I very much appreciated.

I have not heard on the guarantee programme when I signed up with them years ago. Think its a new programme? IMO, if they dare to guarantee, they must be of a certain standard. I will go and read more about this new programme. Lol..

I read up on straitstime donno how many weeks back, I saw that they are one of the tuition centre which has the most transparent student results. This allows us parents to better select the best for our children. Some centres which i went to in the past seems to \"hide\" more on the results of the students.

I think after 21 Lol

ppnqq:

Any feedback on this tuition centre? Are they really that good? Btw, Yishun branch seems to cater to sec sch students only, anyone has any idea? TIA.

I send my children to Smartlab in Bishan. Yes they are good! My children benefited a lot under them :celebrate:
