hi parents, anyone has any comment about berries bt timah at tanglin cc? Looked through this thread but couldn't find anything about this centre. Am on the waitlist for orchard but I think chances are v slim. Sigh. Should have been more proactive! TIA!

My son is in the Tanglin CC K2 class. He was there since K1.
He enjoyed his K1 class. But things changed after he started the K2 class, he told me he does not like the class and said that the teacher was very fierce.
Recently almost every class, he will end up with tears in his eyes and he told me that the teacher used words like \"terrible\" on him.

The materials and teaching method looks ok.
But I guess the teacher makes a great difference.

My friend’s son was with Berries since K1, but he seems to enjoy, but no improvement. So, he switch to this Zhou’s Academic at Goldhill plaza. Good improvement though. Then he recommend my other friend who has a son in K2 to go for the K2 class. The son can recognise quite alot of characters within 10 lessons. He just finish 1 course.

Just to share, my son likes Berries very much coz he thrives in groups. I know some pple find that the class size at Berries is too big and shy ones won’t learn much. So, before you put your kid in Berries, you have to know your kid’s learning style.


But I must say that Berries works for him coz he scored very well for his Higher Chinese exam in school. We are kentang and dun even speak a word of Chinese at home. So I believe that the foundation Berries laid for him (he started at 5yo) is good coz it definitely wasn’t me! I am quite relaxed over his studies and only made him do extra assessment papers one month before the exams.

rule of thumb; latest to start berries by P1.later than that, kids cannot catch up in class and may be shy or switch off.
not much group dynamics in primary sch level in berries. being in one class in P3 this whole year, my anti-social boy does not know any single classmate's name :faint: he just go, attend lessons, do work and come home.
