hi,


have u enrolled yr kid to Beijing Language School?
Is it good?

[jwxh]

Hi,


Anyone has sent their kids to Beijing Language School at Elias Mall CC for composition?

Are they good? Thought of sending my kid there next year.

[TulipisPink]

Are u interested to enrol your kid too?


The teacher in charge is good. She is patient and always encouraging.

However he is not interested in attending morning class during weekend. Luckily he improved his grade when we guide him closely at home.

A kid’s performance depends whether he is suitable for a big group tuition.

tks for yr feedback.


my kid will be P3 next year. thought of sending her to sunday class, ard 10.35am.

how long has yr kid be with the said teacher? can i have her name?

wat abt the compo materials, are they good? how big is the class?

yr kid has any english tuition? finding one for her too?

[kitty_mum]

DD will be P3 next year also. She had been with Beijing since K2.


The school will conduct CA, SA papers and oral for the class before the school test and exam, so you can gauge her standard.

I think the max for the class is 12 students.

I’m also looking for eng, math and science tuition. Wondering the tuition conducted by the CC is it good?

@jwxh - Apologise that i could not recall her surname. She is the teacher in charge of this branch. You may ask the information counter for her name.


my son only attended for a short period. If i remember correctly .. only 1 or 2 terms. I think the material is ok. the admin lady allows you to take a look on their teaching materials. The class is up to max. 10 or 12 pax but the class can start with min. 2-4 pax at a start.

I found that we can use the SAP chinese vocabulary handbook to teach kid on the area of 语文选择. but for creative writing, i think an experience teacher is better than me in guiding my son. I withdrawn him mainly due to he do not like to attend morning tuition and we have no other available time slot to make the changes, so i became his \"intensive tutor\".

To improve compo writing, u can let the kid read more story book.

@kitty_mum - you have provided more updated information on the class at Beijing. my son left the place more than half year ago.

if the cc has good tutor, then u may like to go ahead. did you hear any parents feedback on the tutors?

If we enrol our kid in a tution centre, we have to check with our kid whether the tutor's style of teaching make her understand the topic better?

my son and his classmates have tution at Blk 560 RC. The tutors like to provide top school test papers for the kids to practice.

my son found himself not suitable with the new english tutor's style but his classmates found her ok. So we teach him on our own pace and make him read more english book. Another girl found not suitable with the maths and science tutors but the boys found it okay.

This is very subjective view/ preference as different kids has different standard in each subject. some may suitable for smaller class while others like to have big class. my boy like the environment for big class for maths. the boys like to challenge each other in their regular top school paper test.

So \"one man's meat may be another posion\"!

Hope my 2 cents thoughts help you in deciding the selection.

tks for yr input.


yr kid this year P4? does he hve any tuition at all since you can tutor him?

[kitty_mum]

Hi TulipisPink,


Thanks for the advice.

[TulipisPink]

@jwxh


Yes he is in P4 this year.

When he marks was not in satisfactory range in CA1, i started to guide him for his SA1 exam onwards. Thanks to my good friend who taught me the method in guiding him for this subject.

first Check which are the weak area. eg.辨字，词语选择/词语搭配，短文填空，完成句子， or 阅读理解. Then, Select assessments book that has more exercises on the weak area. A good practice will be going through his sch / other school exam papers with the kids and explain why certain answer could not be used/apply.

If he is in lower primary, you can buy the chinese vocabulary handbook from SAP.
Make sure he understand all the list of words listed in their textbooks. Ask him to make sentence, so to test whether he know how to use these vocabulary.

For comprehension and composition, parents are advise to read story book together with the kid. From the reading, the kid can pick up good phrases and vocabulary from the books.
