I have never thought of writing a negative feedback about an enrichment center until now....


I signed up my dd (P5) at Thomson branch for a holiday program. My dd truly loved it and that was why I registered her at Sembawang branch, and also I wanted her to be able to tackle the OnSponge problem sums, which her school does not do it often. When she was at Sembawang branch, I realized that she was kind of upset after each lesson. She told me repeatedly that she did not want to attend the lesson there anymore. I was puzzled and told her that the materials were good (and still is) and it will help her in her PSLE. When I checked her Oodles homework, the instructor did not go thru all the corrections. You can see his frustration and impatience by marking a big cross in her worksheets. I was kind of upset and wrote a feedback in their website. Thomson branch responded (kind of main branch). I told them that Math has always been my dd's favourite subject and now Sembawang branch managed to 'kill' it. They were very kind and told me that they can arrange for another instructor (same branch) to go thru the corrections with my dd. I was also thinking of switching to Thomson branch, but logistics and schedule are really a challenge. Eventually I have to stop just after one and a half term. My deposit of $200 is supposed to offset the rest of the 4 lessons, but my dd simply refused to go. The reason is not just one of the above as it is tedious to type all. What really upset me was that the instructor just simply has no patience and use scolding and shouting method to teach.

Up till now my dd did not tell me the real reason why she does not want to go there. My husband and I were extremely upset as this is really the first time my dd 'rejects' an enrichment center. Shouting and belittling definitely do not help a student learn.

Joining this thread as the PSLE is so near now.....Currently my dd is doing her P5 work. Got to get a head start before school starts.

Exactly 2 years from today, roughly around this date, this time of the year : piggies will be collecting PSLE results slip.

Yah lor. I told people around me my life will be 3/4 \"gone\" liao because of PSLE

No holiday program this time round as we will going away for the last two weeks of Dec. DD has been going for Coding lesson since early this year. It is something she likes (not study mah). So will still carry on no matter how heavy is the work load for next year.

I started P4 Math and Chinese with my princess liao…super kiasu lor. My strategy is to teach her all the Math topic during the school hols. She will have ample time to ‘digest’ the new topics. The rest of the year will be like revision for her.


It is easy to teach topics. It’s the questions that are hard to solve as you need to think out of the box!

Hi, any feedback on their Creative Writing class for P4?

Personally, I feel the English and Chinese comprehension is a difference. My dd is going to be in P3 next year, and has been doing both P3 comprehension now, and boy! She is still practicing really hard, especially Chinese. She has always been a straight A student, and now struggling with the Chinese compre. She is not doing Higher Chinese though...Science is another huddle as she has to understand how to answer the questions by using key words. Not suka-suka answer the questions :slapshead:


So, my advice is, start early!!

Erh…I didn’t ask becos I just want my dd do well for her SA2 only. Didn’t really care which class she goes lah.
