Hi Honesty,

I was in the same situation 3 weeks ago (check my thread under my userid). I realised my child was fearful of comp & hated Chinese. I had to basically 'drag' him to his previous tuition centre.

Feeling desperate, I decided to seek help from Thetrees123 since I got nothing to lose. My son is now motivated & interested in Chinese.

I'm not sure if he can do well for SA1 since we seek help just weeks before the exam but I'm sure if he continues to be motivated & interested, he should be able to do well for SA2.

Think forcing the kid to study is short term solution. Being motivated & interested should be the way to good.

I wish you luck & success in doing so.

Thanks westie123! The current China-chinese private tutor (with many years of experience) kept telling me I bought too difficult assessment books which my DD does not know alot of the words in there. She has been teaching my DD since last December.

There was once I told her to help my DD with school compo writing. After the lesson she said my DD did all the work herself and she merely correct some of the words in the sentences. Few days later, I received back the compo from school with comments stated: Lack of content! :shock: :stupid:

I told myself that I will see how my DD's SA1 result and then determine if I should still keep her....

一位好的私人家教除了必须具备专业知识外，也必须有满满的爱心，能够仔细聆听学生面对的难题，和他们站在同一阵线，一起克服困难。

当今金钱挂帅的铜臭世界，素质一流的好家教凤毛麟角。想找个＂不食人间烟火＂的好家教还真不容易。
多数家长会认同大型补习中心的素质比小型的强一百倍。其实不然，因为教育必须回归到师资，只有好的老师方能培养出优秀的学生，与大型或教材的精美设计无关。
以上纯属个人看法。
谢谢。

Hi ichunleo,

My kid started berries when he was in n1 (the youngest class berries offer). Ok leh, he can follow and learn. see results after a few lessons.

Specifically for k1 and k2 classes at berries only (since I have never tried other schools), there are definitely more classes at k1 and k2 levels. I think there is no need to try the hot time slots eg weekend mornings as the wait list is very long. But the weekday afternoon classes are available. At times, weekend at odd timings eg 6.45pm or 3pm may have slots.

My kid is 3.5yo and he speak mostly English. When I speak to him in Mandarin, he will get frustrated and want me to stop speaking mandarin. Should I send him to Chinese enrichment asap? Urgently needs your advise.


Thanks!

I would but best to check the programs. If it's going to be all papers and writing, I think it would make things worst.
