Han Language Centre - Discussion

[snow123]

Hi thinking of enroling my son in Han Language but torn betw the enrichment class or compo & compre, which is good? Do they teach compo & compre or oral for the usual enrichment class? Do they do compo and compre in alternate lesson (eg: one week compo, one week compre) for the compo & compre class?

My p2 niece goes to KRTC Changi city point (new branch) for Chinese tuition. She used to dislike Chinese, to the extent of not wanting to speak the language at all. But after attending just 2 sessions, she started asking my sister to buy her Chinese books and became interested in Chinese tv serials. It was really surprising. If im not wrong, KRTc isn’t known for their Chinese, but the tutors differ from branch to branch, so if you’re lucky, you can still find good ones. The Chinese teachers at this particular branch are all very experienced and their method is to arouse the child’s interest in the subject and not just force it down their throats. Their fees are also on the low side and there’s trial lessons. No harm going down to enquire if you stay in the area

Hi!

Anyone had an experience with Han 汉 Language Centre? They have several branches and I am considering enrolling my DD (S1) at the one at Toa Payoh. TIA!

Is this the same Han Language as the one at Harbourfront? Has any parents here sent their children to the centre at Harbourfront? Any comments?


Many thanks!

Hi, is there any reason why you withdrew from Tein Hsia? From what I understand and heard from friends, it is very difficult to get a place at Tein Hsia?

Thanks a ton!

Hi Mr Ding,

I have not visited this thread for quite sometime. Sorry did not reply to your queries. For teachers quality, most of the teachers are china teachers , and they speak very good mandarin. For the material quality, I do not have any other Chinese enrichment to compare , but the materials follow closely with school syllabus. The service of the staff there are very good too but I am not sure of other centers. They also allow your child to sit in to another class if you miss your regular class. The fees are reasonable too. For your info, both my children are still with them. My dd surprisely still score very well in her school exams. But her Han teacher ever told me that my dd standard in her class was only average and she was surprised that she can scored very well in her school exams. I think I will still continue to put my children in Han unless their grades drop.

I am thinking of enrolling my p5 ds in Hans at the Khatib Branch. His CA1 paper was super bad. According to his teacher, his standard is that of a P3 thus he is always doing a \"catching up\" game. Was reading all your comments and can't help noticing that the HLC teachers don't seem to encourage/praise the students even after doing well (see quote above) but instead promote their other classes to further improve the language of their existing students. So I am a little hesitant now cuz I believe teachers are suppose to have passion and nurture the kids.
