Comparing Chinese Enrichment (Primary/Preschool)

[hsm]

Thanks for the replies


yes, i'm concerned if my girl can catchup, but i guess i need to let her have a try and see how it goes... good thing abt Tien Hsia now, the class size is quite alright. 7 students including my girl cos i'm bringing her to the weekday afternoon class...

She has only done 1 lesson so far, and she was happy with it.. the teacher is quite friendly.. hopefully she gets better after a few more lessons

Haha, she's already in her late seventies... retired liao
I'll wait for my boy to start doing badly before I try to intro her style of tough tutoring... He's one stubborn boy who 不见棺材不掉泪。

Haha...your boy smart lah...

He's ok for now but super lazy... so perhaps when things get more difficult in P3, I will be able to try out this hot-house tutoring style... :nunchuk:

There's a Busy Bees Learning Centre at Sin Ming Plaza (shunfu rd). They are charging $449 for 12 lessons of chinese compo. Heard it's quite good but I had wanted to enrol in their enrichment class rather (they dun haf). Class size is small.

My son has been with Jiang since the beginning of the year - P1 -3 hr lesson. Seems his standard is ok & ahead of school work. They have 4 books cater for reading, comprehension, hypy, writing etc. As I don’t know Chinese, he has to depend more on himself for revision. So far so good as initially I am worried how he could stay for 3 hrs and he has never complained so far of the long duration.

If you read the Xue Lin thread, most parents say Xue Lin is good for upper pri and above. They give challenging material.


IMHO, tien hsia or berries are targeted more at pre-primary to primary levels.

However, if your standard is already quite low, you may want to consider personal tuition or group tuition to focus on the school work coz Xue lin or tien hsia are enrichment centres not tuition centres.

You need a tutor who can strengthen your foundation. You may not be able to catch up at enrichment centres.
