Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Secondary)

[von72]

zeemimi:

based on my 3 kids' experience with berries, berries is much better for the younger kids (eg pre-schoolers, lower pri) than the older ones. you can attest to this by seeing the decline in the number of classes for the upper pri and the secondary .


where do you stay?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm staying at CCK. BTW, have you heard of Stalford Learning Centre, at JP branch?? They do have Sec 1 Chinese enrichment too. Any feedback??

hi… i know there’s a really exhaustive thread on this but i would like to ask specifically about tuition on the secondary school level. Some of the existing list offer both to primary and secondary but i personally believe that they are better at coaching for the primary school level.


Next year my son will enter Secondary school so i’m looking at language centres focussed at these 4 years of education.

Being an ‘I’, my son probably engages better in a group environment, that’s where the tuition centres come in. One to one, he surely either fall asleep or get distracted by the monotony/boredom of a personal tutor.

We live in the Southwest and have attended Eduplus which is in my opinion, an excellent place to study after school.

Any suggestions?

much thanks

Kid:

Please discuss secondary school english enrichment here as there are not many threads discussing about secondary school english enrichment.

Thank you!

I read with interest with Kid's posting. I think we should start threads discussing about secondary school Chinese enrichment. I am now having problem finding a good center for my children. My elder one is suffering from lack of interest N having poor grades!

GG,


You can check out Xuelin in Katong 112. I know that they have sec sch program. My 3 boys are in pri/k2, can’t tell you much abt it but I know they have very dedicated teachers as my boys are having lessons there. All I know or experience is that they have very updated materials and exposing the students to lots of newspaper reading.

Hi. I am looking for a sec 2 Chinese teacher. The price must be reasonable. I need this urgently as I am realty weak in my Chinese the group of the Chinese class must not be large. I am considering to join Tien hsia but I am not sure if that centre is experience with secondary chinese. Please help!;) the centre or home Tuitoon must not be too. Far. Around bukit panjang area will do. Or choa Chu kang or jurong around. seragoon is fine

Had checked out Xuelin Learning Hub @ Bukit Timah Plaza yesterday as recommended(see quote). I was very impressed with their materials, very updated. Met both the sec 1 & 3 teachers, seems very passionate. My sec 3 gal is very keen but need to arrange the timing. Have already signed up my sec 1 son. You can checked them out too.

Thanks for the comment may I know what is the class size for Xuelin? Because I can't focus much on the class size. Is there 1-1?
