        Where got bully.... :lol:

        Just getting to know one
        another better... testing
        whether abacus trainers
        can take jokes anot.. 😛
        Dun angry hor, abacus
        trainer... 😉 Just want
        to introduce buds as the
        affable person here in KSP,
        not the dead serious kind...
        Laughter is the best medicine,
        right? So let's just all be happy
        happy people here, aye...

        I may be versed in many things
        but learning is a lifelong journey
        for me. I like learning new things!
        And things that are practical and
        can be applied to our daily lives.
        Just take all the positive, yes?
        I'm very open minded so defintely
        open to new things and also get to
        keep up with current trends of
        teaching styles. There's no one
        method to fix all solutions, so the
        more solutions we know, the more
        children we can help..... or the more
        we can use to help our children! 😎

        My abacus very basic cause no
        practice in a loooooonnng time.
        Was in-house trained by an old
        boss before and now totally forgot
        everything! :!:

        That's why good to have a specific
        thread on abacus here. I oso no time
        to go out take courses... but if here in
        KSP i don't mind learning abacus online!
        Heheheee... :lol:

          And yes i am an old bird...

          Very old... especially since
          being an owl, i don't get much
          sleep so get old even faster...

          Kids have accelerated learning,
          buds has accelerated aging. 😛

                May need a paediatrician to answer yr question. Not sure about hand muscle development for kids.

                Some kids develop faster, some slower. Youngest students I hv taught is 3.5yo. Mummy also need to put in effort to coach her at home. U can bring her to CMA for assessment first or let her try out one class. Assessment is free, one trial class is $25 (not sure if it's the same for all centres). 😉

                  What are the fees like currently?

                  Any branches within Chua Chu Kang,
                  Bt Panjang, Woodlands & Jurong......
                  How soon can one see results? Does
                  CMA run Parent Classes too? So how,
                  you consider setting up abacus thread
                  anot? Hehee... 😉

                      Yah, why u no need to sleep? Not enough sleep, age faster.

                      There are many branches now, all those u mention above all hv. Except CCK. Abit sensitive to discuss about the fees. Different centres got different charges. Some got discount, some got GST. Better to check it out yourself.

                      No parent classes. Parents already has kids with CMA, can learn together with yr kids. Don't understand, ask teacher.

                      Big things like setting up abacus thread, should leave to the \"da ren wu\". I am only a small teacher. :politebleah:

                      Btw, parents who giving/getting reference to get intro discount, pls feel free. I m sure the introducer are providing reference bcos they feel course has benefited their kid in some ways.

                        Ai..yah.. yah.. can't tell u where I am from lah. Can be quite sensitive among centres, wait people think I am trying to pull customers. I just want to help answer or clear some doubts that some parents have. Sorry about it.

                        I think most centre have Sunday afternoon classes.
