Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[luvmum]

tamarind:

I know kids who join at K1, but unable to follow up with the high standards, and they need to join the N2 class instead. My advise to other parents is to put their kids in Berries starting from N2, otherwise they cannot follow up with the syllabus.

At Woodlands Berries I often see parents staying with kids in class, even at the K1 class. I haven't heard of any rules disallowing parents to sit in.

U r right! In my boy's N1 class, there is a K2 girl who joins in cos she is alw speaking English at home so she hardly makes out any mandarin, tat is why got to start from the basic. But quite hard for her I feel cos till today she still talk to the teacher in Eng during class lesson. Somehow teachers at Berries are not so conversant in English so sometimes communication breakdown.

Huh really ah...I wouldn't want to sit with my boy till K1 leh...buay tahan ah...

so much abt Berries…


Anyone has any comment on the KI chinese class conducted by RC? It cost only $40 per mth! Once a week.

Last week, I happened to saw the notice board of RC for the 1st time in my life! Oh my, they have tuition class for K1 to P6 for Chinese, English, Maths and Science. I didn’t know abt this! Each subject cost abt $40 to $60/mth. Really affordable.

Quality dependent on that particular teacher. Must sniff around for comments & feedback from existing students' parents

I have just informed the staff at Berries my intention of withdrawing my kids in end August. Despite the 2.5 mths notice, they still require a written note on my withdrawal (with explanation) before prorating the fees for the remaining 2.5 mths. Is this the standard practice? Can anybody share their experience in withdrawing from Berries?


TIA.

I withdrew at the end of year when there’s no outstanding $ issues, so there was no paper work involved at all.

Hi, chamonix. I don't understand. The 2nd term ends on 28 Jun. At this moment, we suppose to pay for 3rd term that starts on 29 Jun. You mean you had recently paid for a full 3rd term and in next moment you decided to withdraw in Aug?
I am planning to tell them this weekend that I want to stop for 3rd term and continue in 4th term. Not sure what is their reaction yet. Will let you know tho different request. My reason for the stop is that I need a finanical break. I feel that they are actually quite good except too ex. What is your reason of stopping?
