Hua Cheng Education Centre - Discussion

[kiasuInLanguage]

Hi!

I had posted before asking about Hua Cheng Thomson Plaza branch. But I didn’t gather enough info then. My son joined another tuition centre but I am still thinking of trying the programme in Hua Cheng (Thomson) because it is more convenient for me.
Does anyone has any views on this centre? I think they have 3 branches…what are the differences? I am choosing between Thomson and bukit timah…anyone try any of these two?

Hi MustKiasuParent,


If you are looking for chinese enrichment centre at Bukit Timah Plaza, there are two centers there, Hua cheng and Xue Lin. I have no experience with Xue lin but you can find some comments from ppls in the forum.

As for Huacheng, my Ds has been with them for two years. Now he is preparing his PSLE, I would say that he has been bult with good foundation within the two years for CL, of course, that is not only attributed to the centre. But Hua cheng did push him very hard, my Ds did quite well in compo and compre in his recent SA1.

His CL is the best subject right now which is the one most close to be ready for the final shoot. Now we just hope he could be able to maintain the current standard until then ...

However, it does not mean that it works for all kids. The centre also encourage parents working together with them, sometime we also could feel the presure... often got sms to be reminded for preparing spellings and checking corrections for ds ... especially before exams. It is really not easy and fun ...

Personally feel the materials are good, targeting to achieve higher marks for school exams. Class size is ok less than 10. My boy said his teacher was quite nice but strict, she explained things very clear and taught them skills on how to score every mark in questions.

Hi, I called up Hua Cheng Thomson and was told that they use different curriculum from the Bukit Timah branch. Any comments on which branch is better?

Thanks.

Hi


I am also interested in which branch is better, but seems not many ppl have both experience with them. In addition, I think it is not easy to distinguish which one is more fit the kid without personal checking of the materials, teachers and etc.
Or you can send your ds or dd for trial lessons. In my case, I decided to enroll the bukit timh branch after only one trial, since my ds got quite keen to join.

Hi,


Thanks for all your sharing!
I finally decided to enroll the enrichment class of HC for my Ds, happily to see he found some of his classmates there and the teacher seems also nice. Looking forward to his big progress…

Anyone has kid’s with Thomson branch? Care to share your feedback on their ace programme? And their compo/compre programme?


I popped into Thomson branch today to check its programmes. The lady who attended to me spoke in a mix of mandarin and English (I thought she should speak mandarin through out but never mind). I am impressed by her delivery and the content provided to me.

Shortly after hua cheng, I went over to learning point.

I am disappointed to know that while it belongs to the same umbrella as learning point, learning point told me they have different management and do not help parents with kids in both centre book back to back classes.

want to check, hua cheng’s regular class is better or creative/compre class better?

thanks.

Hi Jedamum,

My son joint Hua cheng's both classes (enrichment & compo) since his P5 at the Bukit Timah Plaza branch. Thanks to Hua Cheng, he has made a great improvement during last two years, now he is preparing his PSLE and get more confidence to get A* in CL.

Back to your question, as you did not mention which level your kid is. Personally, I feel that their upper primary class is more tough which has homework and spelling but with higher standard. They start creative wring from P2.

Their regular class is the enrichment program on fundamental parts with combined of oral, listenning as well as comprehension. The creative writing class is more focusing on compo and deeper comprehension traning. Which class to choose is really depending on which part you child needs help or both.
