Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[MMM]

Daddy

I'm also looking S&D for my gal... but think registration is over. Need to be HK to be SHHK member?

You might want to consider Mdm Koh's S&D class at Han Language in Fu Lu Shou. She is a retired SAP school teacher and is currently focusing on Chinese S&D. Her student range from K1 to Sec 2. But she usually accept the student by latest P2. She came highly recommended by my kid's school teacher. I asked for recommendation on SHHK and she recommended me Mdm Koh instead for the proven results.

In addition, I believe Mdm Koh also currently teaches S&D in SAP school and in our case, I heard the students she teach are based on selection type.

Quite a no. of parents in KSP have sent their kids to her class (mainly preschool program). So far, the kids enjoyed themselves. For myself, my kids are with her K1-K2, P1-P2 and P3-P4 classes.

Personally, I saw 2009 year end performance put up by her students (from P1 to Sec 1) and it was awesome. You probably thought those kids were from China with the level of spoken mandarin and their ability to play kuai ban. Also quite a no. of them also performed xiang sheng. BUT the funny thing is that after performance, the kids will speak in english or those less accented singapore chinese. I personally hope that with a couple of years with Mdm Koh, my kids can have that level of results too.

S&D will definitely help in oral exams which is growing in emphasis (realised during recent meet the parents session that it has the same weightage as compo papers - 20% or 25%). In addition, over time, it will enable to kids to learn more chinese words given that they need to memorise those rao kou ling,etc...

Hi Daddy D,

Yes, someone (you/spouse) need to be HK to be SHHK member. But non-member also can join the S&D classes. Although registration is long over (around Oct time), but they still have vacancies for some classes. Understand that the next term is starting in March. You can always call up the office to enquire about the available timings/fees (this info also available on their webpage http://www.shhkact.com.sg).

Note. Classes only at Toa Payoh (near Lor 1). But I've seen my kids' classmates coming from Sengkang....and twice in the same day also.

That is good news....anyway, fret not on the member bit. SHHK members get 10% off one course. if you sign up for multiple classes, I think every subsequent course gets you $40 off (you talking about per term).

Come Oct, existing students get priority registration. After Phase 1, then it's SHHK members. Finally, it's open to public....so gives parents some practice when come to pri school registration. hee hee hee

Hi,

Berries in Bishan is way tooooooo crowded, esp during the weekends. And there's no human touch. I moved DS to another branch.

My 2 cents

Exactly! Couldn't agree more... and the classrooms r so small... and no waiting area for parents...
The 2 teachers couldn't even maintain basic classroom discipline... how to get the kids to learn?

[sesame246]

hi,


Does Han Language in Fu Lu Shou offers Higher chinese for P6 and do you know if it's good?

My girl is with Berries now but she feels that the lessons are not challenging enough.

Tks!
