Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[jemlth]

I am not sure if the parents have have seen the recent televised 华文谁怕谁. This is 相声 performed live on stage and one of the ones I feel is easier to understand. Hope your children can derive enjoyment and good humour from it! It takes a while to load so be patient!

My friend highly recommends Tienhsia. I have no experience with them but that she likes their syllabus and teaching. They are very exam focused and can see results.

Anyone heard of HCL learning centre? Is it a chinese learning centre?

Just recieved Berries new timetable for 2011, the sad thig is that now they do not offer any replacement or makeup class if it falls on a Public Holiday.


Next year Sunday there are 2 public holiday, meaning that going to lost 2 lessons. Wonder the management would consider any makeup or replacement. Understand in the past Berries use to have replacment or makeup.

Berries will only hv replacement class or makeup class only if too many holidays fall on that particular weekday. My son’s class is on Fri and there are abt 5 holidays(fri) in this year alone. So means I hv lost 2 lessons. The rest are replacement classes.

In that case maybe consider to transfer to other day which that is no public holiday. It is a bit unfair where had paid the full term yet not able to have all the lesson. This is something Berries is not doing quite right unlike in the past.


Anyone considering to drop Berries & transfer to other enrichment school?

I definitely am.
Is this how they treat parents who had been with them for so long even before they get famous? besides convenience, one of the reason i chose berries is because of makeup sessions during PH. They are extending P5/P6 lessons to 3hrs per session. In such case, if lessons fall on Sunday and two sundays burnt due to PH without remedial, there goes the $ as well as 6hrs down the drain. On one hand, it is mentioned that the longer hours is to ensure that the teachers can have more time to focus on each student, then on the other hand they only provide 15min 'revision' for any lessons missed due to PH. justified?
i am looking at either other centres or maybe just berries WOL programme for ds1 if the time slot is right.

I did not know this, I just signed my son up. But my son really like their lessons so I would probably stick with them.

i guess different centres have different policies.
so long your son likes it, you should have no worries.
