Zhiying Language School - Discussion
-
My son who is K2 this year is currently attending at Zhi Ying Language School at Parkway Centre. After the first lesson, he has been asking me to put him for twice a week class instead of once a week. He told me that he likes the teacher a lot.
It has been 1 month since he attend the lessons and I can see his interest in learning chinese has increase greatly from grade 0 to at least grade 8. I sit in with him during his trial lesson together with my elder son. Surprisingly, my elder son who is usually not so interested in Chinese was also responding well during the trial lesson.
Sometimes, it’s the teacher that counts. -

brought my 4 yrs old+ son for a trial lesson last Dec...lesson and teacher both ok...my son likes the teacher too and best of all likes their toilet... :roll: ...cos it has a kiddy toilet as the centre itself is a childcare centre during school hours...as such i observed that most of the kids loves going to the toilet thru out the lesson of 1.5 hrs...they actually gone to the toilet at least 3x.... :!: ....
after the trial lesson the person in charge seems eager to make me sign my son for the lessons as i can see she already prepare all the documents for me to fill in...she keep on persuading me saying the trial class discipline is not good but ask me to sign for another class which she claim is a new class...before tat she say the trial class is better cos less students and it doesn't matter if my child is new to the program... :idea:
in the end i didn't sign lor...i find that the program is not as fantastic as it claim...it is just something which we must impose to our kids...means \"repeated drlling of the characters\"...i dun find the lesson interesting at all lor... -
My son tried the Zhiying programme years ago but it wasn’t at the hougang branch; it was run at a CC back then. I don’t think the HG branch was setup yet. They had a set of standard textbook and CD which was used in the programme was supposedly an award winning programme.
Having gone through a term or so of the programme, I found that the syllabus from the text and CD was not really meant for Singapore and would not be able to prepare the child to converse and use Chinese in our daily life in local context adequately. I also find that this programme would not really help to prepare the child for their lower primary school syllabus as the choice of vocabulary taught was different from what our school focus on.
As there are other Chinese programmes around which are more tailored for Singapore children and would prepare kids better for school, I choose not to pursue this programme.
However, having said that, their programme may have changed/improved since then. -
Hi, for those who are at marine parade and looking for Chinese enrichment for your kids can try out Zhi ying. Located opposite parkway parade building. The centre is on 2nd floor above mc donalds. Have arranged for trial lessons which is free for my 3 kids(age 11,8,5) and they love it after the trial. My elder son who was 10 whe he attend berries prefer zhi ying. Really caught me by surprise.

Sorry to open up a new thread as I tried to do a search on this centre but to no avail.
I have received their flyers cum invitation card for their workshop cum a “Live Demo”… not sure what is this all about but keen to find out more.
Just want to hear all the experience mummy & daddy out there if there’s any good or bad feedback.
Thanks in advance! -

I need to change my son's chinese tuition/enrichment as the current one has shifted to one location further from my house. I found one 'zhiying language school' located at the changi-simei community club. Wonder if anyone has positive/negative reviews of them? thanks... :thankyou:

My oldest son is in P4. He joined in P2. His teacher last year was very committed. But this year because of chnage in time schedule, he cannot have the same teacher that he had last year. So far, I think this teacher is not as good as the previous one. Fees are ex too…
He has great interest in chinese but not a lot of improvement. Will consider moving him to RC in june
