Local rock gigs

Hey guys, I go to the local rock gigs and they're pretty damn good. I see lots and lots of expats and expats teens attending these. There's been one every month since March held at DXO (next to the Esplanade Mall) and the bands that play have got some skills. One of the main bands are this band call...

well i teach them 4 times a week after school. I'm pretty much given the same standard. And PLEASE don't blow this out of proportion. I don't go through my students' work and presenting them with a horrible page of mistakes. Her book from school has NO mistakes at all. That's a little weird, don't y...

hope this helps

hey hey, I dunno if this helps, but two of the students I tutor have recently taken the entrance examinations to UWC, and have been put on the waiting list after passing. They have to wait a year..... They are currently in other international schools. I'm guessing that since they got accepted last m...

by the way

by the way, shidal, i've looked at all the posts you've made and none of them actually answer anybody's questions or help anybody out. it's mostly questions and useless one-liners like the one you just posted in this thread. I suggest you do something productive and get yourself some credibility bef...

what the hell

Pardon me, but who the hell are you to tell me I'm not genuine or serious? And I don't see YOU offering any help at all. I'm a certified teacher who can offer real help. I've had students improve greatly and their parents RECOMMEND ME TO OTHER PARENTS. You, on the other hand, are just a nosey little...

Then I suppose we will have to agree to disagree on this one, yes? The marking style for local school is quite different. I'm a teacher in a local school and marking is very strict so as to make sure children do not make the same mistakes in future. I'm not saying this style is necessarily better, j...

Wrong

Hi Amelia, Fauve is wrong. I'd like to correct what Fauve said. I am a teacher at a local school and I also tutor expat students in English. So I know both systems pretty well. My Korean student moved to Singapore in January this year and started out at an international school. When the parents deci...

Nationalities

As far as I know there are Indians, Americans, Australians, British, Koreans, Japanese, and Africans at ERIS.

Though I'm sure the list is more extensive than that.

hmmm

I'm a tutor who has two students from ERIS. They are pretty happy with the school but they also experience some slight racism from some of the children as my students are Asian (Korean). I suppose this is bound to happen with any international school, but just so you know and you can prepare your ch...

sigh

Well then, I guess soon I will be the expat, haha, cos we're going to look at overseas options soon. If Singapore companies wish to pass over someone with a good resume for someone with less talent but is more convenient, then to hell with them, I say. Hmmm... maybe we should form a band and see whe...

Hope I don't scare you

But please please please be wary of your maid and not be too lenient with her. My good friend recently found out that her maid had been bringing back home those Bangladeshi construction workers and doing the nasty with them while my friend and her husband were out at work. That's not the worst part....
