Any good Chinese enrichment centre at Marine Parade to recommend? My P2 son is weak in Chinese Compo.

Hi monstermummy,


You may have confused that with the SHHK member registration. This shhk act is an outreach of shhk. There is only 1 enrolment per year and I think it'll happen in Oct. They do have a website (http://www.shhkact.com.sg). Details of courses and fees are posted there - they will post the available timetable closer to date of enrolment.

If you are calling them, I think the office is closed today. You may want to try later in the week.

Molin was recommended - and they are in the east area. But best to go down and see if the syllabus and mode is suitable for your child.

Hi Mommies


Can I check if any of your kids attends Berries Primary 1 level classes? My girl will be in P1 next year and she has been taking Berries since N2. As we don’t speak Chinese much at home, she tends to forget what she has learnt very quickly. Am wondering if I should continue with Berries next year for P1 or switch to a private tuition teacher? (my own Mandarin is hopeless so cant really teach and also worried if I can help her in her schoolwork!)

My daughter attends Berries but I also have the advantage that my MIL is an ex-Chinese teacher so she has a lot of help at home. I think if I didn’t have my MIL I might consider changing to a private teacher as she really does need help with things like her "ting xie" which I can’t do. However, the challenge might be actually motivating her to do it as it wouldn’t be as much "fun" as Berries - and she already complains that Berries is boring.

Thanks nms1 for your feedback.


I was just wondering how is Berries’ primary 1 course like, as I do not want my gal to have additional pressure in Chinese with both school work and Berries’ work. If school is sufficient then I will take her out of berries. I was thinking of stopping berries end of this year and see how her chinese goes in P1.

Any mommies with experiences with Berries?

My daughter is doing Higher Chinese at Berries (much more popular than normal) so she does find it tougher than school but they give very little homework, usually only 1 short worksheet so it's not really adding any pressure. I think the main issue for her is that she feels that a lot of the class is better than her so she is a bit shy to speak up.

Got HC and NC in berries?
