Is your child still with Yuquan P1? WHich branch did you go to?

He is still with YQ Tampines Branch @Blk 201E till end of this yr. Thereafer I plan to start him with Berris Tampines Central. Will decide after Berris's trial lesson.

My DS is with Middle Road Main Branch, would be ending at end of the year. Still evaluating whether to continue a not. By the way, yr DS was with YQ since K2? Any idea how is thier K1 & K2 program?

Like to do a poll why do you send your child to enrichment class?


My son will be going to P1 next year. He speaks Mandarin well but can't really read Chinese character. Uses han yu pin yin to help since he learnt it. He prefers to watch English programme and read books in English. I am worried he loses interest in Chinese

My Chinese level is nearly zero so I need to send or my kids will 'die'. By the way I send them to TH and I find them very good. My kids like the lessons there although it is quite the 'drilling' kind but it helps prepare them for their exams.

Their K2 program serve its purpose in preparing my boy for P1, especially on HanYuPinYin. My son develops keen interest in learning chinese from YQ teachers(the first 2 YQ teachers he had were good in teaching him the foundation but they had since left) and I am actually quite glad that he is able to learn something extra/adequate in meeting his school's needs. His Higher Chinese result is among the top in his class so far. He is still there mainly because he likes his current YQ teacher. What I don't like is the teacher's turnover is quite high.

I actually find Berris's material better organized and systematic, so I am going to switch him to Berris P2 next year to try theirs, as Berris's timing & location is better for me too.

To teach topics that I am not capable of teaching

For my K2, I sent her to a nearby RC for 3 months just to learn hanyu pinyin. My hanyu pinyin sucks.
Plan to place her in another nearby CC for creative writing next year. I find creative writing very hard to coach[/quote]

Which lang school did your girl go to in RC?
Can't agree more creative writing is tough to coach. Creative writing is for which level?

HI,


I strongly recommend Tien Hsia becoz during SA1 my ds can’t even read or write well and he score for his Chinese 87 marks so i decided to enrol him only this August with Tien Hsia and today his score for SA2 he got it 2nd(49/50) in class. But just to let u know Tien Hsia is always fully book, will hv to be on waiting list.

Cheers,
