Thanks!


My gal is 3.5yr old and is already attending Nursery daily but I like her to go to a enrichment mandarin lesson once a week to build up her mandarin. Good thing she is pretty keen in mandarin but speaks very little due to lack off vocabs.

I am considering between Molin and Tien Hsia. Which one would be more suitable for this age.

I have gone to their website and they both have programme for this age. Anyone out there tried these center? Thanks for sharing.

Just managed to get hold of Molin. Their price for 12 lesson (1 term) is 224.70.


Any idea how much Tien Hsia is charging for Nursery level? as they are close for the CNY…

Personally, I prefer Singaporean Chinese teacher. They are more results focussed. This is based on my experienced. I have had both SG and China teachers for my son. I find the China teachers provide alot extras which tho good but I find not very relevant. My son previous tutor was from SG and she is very exam focus. Unfortunately with the new year, she have to resign because of personal scheduling challenge.

hi

my suggestion is to sit in at least for the first few lessons (esp for nursery - K1 level since the child might be too young to assess if the class is any good). So if you can sit in for a few lessons, you will be able to assess if the lesson structure is beneficial to your child or not. Sometimes you will be surprised with what you see

Agree with you. Personally I would go for Singaporean Chinese teacher.

Personally I think it's not enough to have enrichment once a week if you don't speak any Chinese at home.


My boy is now attending enrichment but I'm prob going to start him on Ch tuition as I feel it's not helping him enough. My nephews have Ch tuition twice a week and during school hols, 3 times a week!! Good thing they like their tutor as she's quite young and knows how to make the lessons fun.

I was told it helps to expose kids to foreign language at a younger age as they can absorb it faster. Hubby and I are trying for 2nd kid now and we're thinking of choosing a school with a strong Ch programme. V kiasu! Baby not even made yet!!

Anyway I've been doing some research and apparently quite a few schools/childcare centres are doing 1/2 day lessons in English and 1/2 day in Chinese. I think that's more effective. I know many others just have 30min or 45min Ch lesson per day.

Many of my friends are also worried about their kids' Chinese! Prob that's why schools like Nanyang kindy have such a long queue!
