Berries - Discussion

[cherrygal]

I dunno, but when I went to Eduplus to take a look, I didn’t get a very welcoming feeling. Quite atas


My kid joined Berries at 4yo, stopped end of N2, no enrichment for K1, then at K2 joined a no-brand enrichment centre for 6 months which saw no results in learning HYPY, then he rejoined Berries at later half of K2 for the P1 preparatory course and stuck with them so far. I saw great improvement in his HYPY in just 3 months into his P1 preparatory course.

My girls are in P3 and P2 this year. Is Berries suitable?


I heard lots of good review about Berries. Is it mainly for pre school? How much does it cost?

Berries have classes fr nursery all the way to Sec.
However they are popular for their pre-school/lower primary classes as they r known to be lively and engaging.. Some parents may feel it may not be \"academic\" enough as the level goes up but it is really up to individuals.
Fees wise almost $400/term (12 lessons), 1 hr 45 mins.

Thanks.

Berries is more for preschooler and the most lower primary level. For upper level, it’s not quite effective.


That’s my experience.

Hi Cheerful07!
My DS has been in Bishan since K2. He started speaking Mandarin and could read Chinese story books after attending the lessons...most imptly, he enjoys the lessons...
Teachers' wise, so far so good... i m not exactly that particular abt teachers esp i know i cant teach him so as long as someone can engage my DS in class and as long as he likes gg for the classes, i am fine! :rahrah:

Btw its kinda impossible to get a slot for wkends' classes ... the waitlist is scary!....:yikes: ...
You may wish to go for a trial and see how it goes. (hv to check with them which are the slots that are avail for trials).

Hi Cheerful07,


My child attended both Hougang and transferred to Bishan.

I feel that Hougang is better. The setup is smaller thus, the teachers care to even talk and feedback to parents about the child’s progress.

Bishan centre is much bigger. My experience is that it’s done as a business. When I approached the teacher of how I could help improve my child, her response is "to read the textbook more times". Perhaps that’s true. However, the attitude was kind of "don’t come bother me".

I’m not sure about the both centres now as teachers come and go. It really depends on your luck to get a caring teacher.
