Wang Learning Centre 汪老師 - Discussion

[mr_ding]

Hi Carebear. How is your DD doing there? Would you mind giving a more thorough review of the place?


Based on
a) Teacher Quality
b) Material Quality
c) Centre Service
d) Location
e) Value-for-money

Mmm..either out of five stars or a short statement for the diff bullet points.

Would appreciate it!

Hi Milo and mr ding, sorry for the late reply.

My DD at first was so unwilling to attend lessons at this centre and I had to drag her there every week.
I even gave them one month’s notice that she was quitting so that I could gets back my one month deposit. All this changed after the term test as DD scored band one in her Chinese and also got the same marks as her good friend who usually does much better than her in Chinese. This coupled with the fact that DD learnt from another schoolmate who attends the same centre and who made significant improvement.

A. Teacher quality - young and enthusiastic teachers from mainland china. Some lessons are conducted by Wang Lao shi herself. Although each lesson is two hours, the teachers will ensure that the lesson is thoroughly covered before dismissal, so be prepared to wait up to fifteen minutes form the expected dismissal time.

B. Material quality - I find it impressive. There are many repetitions of the word or phrases that are being used in different scenarios and these helps in learning.

C. Centre service - very good. They are polite and thorough in their explanation to parents on any query.

D. Value for money - good value for money. not exorbitant. DD is doing P6 higher chinese. 1 term = 10 lessons = $360+

Now i really hope that my DD will agree to do the zuo wen and kou shi ban with them. I heard they also have holiday lessons which are superb and highly recommended by friends who have enrolled their kids there.

Hi carebear,


Thanks for the update. Really appreciate it. Seems like a glowing testimonial. Haha.

I hate zuo wen when I was small. But if I have good ideas in my mind, the words will just flows out naturally. I believe that if they can make zuo wen interesting and creative, students may enjoy it. For example, interesting titles and wacky scenarios to start with

Hi, to parents/students. May I know which centre is good for P6. Xuelin is more expensive. Does that equate exp to better materials?? Any feedbacks are welcome. TIA

[hsm]

hi


Is there any website or contact details? Need to check for schedules for P6 classes.

Thanks

Hello tinkfirst,

I switch my P6 and P4 from Wang Lao Shi to Xuelin. I have witnessed the improvement and confidence in their learning, of which I agree that Xuelin is expensive, but it is the money definitely worth spending. I do not think it’s just the materials alone. The most important is the teachers; the key difference!

Hello hsm, Xuelin 's contact is 63635400/66363622. I don’t think they have a website.
