Xuelin Learning Hub - Discussion

Lim_KS: Thanks for your feedback. So they have 2 type of classes for P2 - compo and Paper 2?


Interesting that they have a "formula" to help students write essays, and how they teach kids. I dont really need to revise the words with my daughter, and she can remember all of them.

[lim_ks]

Pixy: No, they have only 1 type of class. It's just that they rotate the class. We started with lesson 11 which has compre component. The following week, lesson 12 is compo writing. I worried that my gal can't cope with the 1st lesson being writing class thus I slotted in last min to prepare her for XL's class.


Yes, agreed! They do have a \"formula\" to help students. My P2 really likes them very much, still talking about it all day long today!I only hope that they can sustain! FYI,They are very creative; I believe you will like their holiday program. I \"chopped \" 4 seats for my gals and my sister's.

VooVoo:

I will be sending mine to Xuelin, already \"chopped\" a place as they are limited placements. She will be doing a 5 days reading program with compo fundamental writing for a duration of 3 hr & 45 mins. I have seen the selected books; something like Diary of the Wimpy's Kid but in Chinese. After speaking to them, I agree with their rationale of doing this program. Many kids dun read Chinese books thus having very limited vocab, good content and good sentence structure. They will have interesting curriculum to engage kids and later translate into writing. I thot this is very necessary for my children. Very Ks but no choice.

So this holiday program is on reading and compo?

lim_ks:

VooVoo: Yes, the program is about reading certain good extracts of selected books/ certain newspaper articles depending on level. The 2nd half is about writing, objective is to refine the writing using the vocab, contents and sentence structure learnt earlier. I thought it's very interesting to engage the kids and they are taking in only 20 kids per level (I heard it's 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon!) What I like about them is that their class size is very small! That is why I have to \"chopped\" a place for my gals and my sister's.

Hi!

What do Xue Lin offer for P1 holiday class? Do they have compo class for P2?
Could you recommend?
Thanks.

[lim_ks]

tonpat: Yes, they do have P2's program; in fact from P1-5, it's all about reading a book and follow by writing. I have not had the details of the program. They are still crafting the program, no final details yet. I booked a place after a chat with the lady boss who brought in the books but not retailing them instead they intend to teach the kids how to make good use of these books. I thought that is remarkable , on top of the small class size! Personally, I have seen/read few pages of the books; they are very interesting.I am requesting her to consider to take in P1 as I would love to \"immerse\" my P1. :xedfingers:


Call them if you are keen.

Hi Lim_ks, Ha…ha…Great minds think alike. My friends and I "chopped" 5 classes too after talking to Wang Lao Shi who also had refused to sell us the books. Rational is " 你们不会使用,反而伤害孩子的阅读兴趣!"I am sure your daughters will enjoy XL class. My P4 & P2 love their classes. I agree with you, half the battle won! No regrets even though they are expensive!

[tonpat]

Hi, anyone here know if Xue Lin have P1 Reading programme for this June Holiday? thanks.

[bellyhoney]

Hi tonpat, yes, they do have a p1 reading/writing program, in fact from K2 to P5. Registration has already started. I have signed up mine! The books they have selected are very interesting. Personally I really like them very much and I hope they can motivate my kids to pick up and read. This is what Wang Lao Shi had told me that this is the core objective of this program; instill reading interest and impart writing skill.

I am thinking of stopping Berries end of this year, and continue xuelin. I have just found a Chinese tutor to teach my daughter swkd once a week at home. First lesson this week.


... I still like the way Chinese is taught in Berries still.

Hi Pixy,

Can i know why you are thinking of stopping Berries when you said you still like the way Chinese is taught in Berries? :?

Julie Kong:

I am a newbie to Kiasu Parent, only mean to check out PSLE info but I chanced upon Xuelin's thread. I enroll my Pri 5 immediately & my experience with them is fabulous! :imcool:


Bellyhoney, I agree with you; my Pri 5 boy after attending 3 lessons with Wen Lao Shi, falls in love with Chinese when he dislikes the language so much. Remarkable! :rahrah: His CA1 has improved tremendously to 85% after 1 term. Wen Lao Shi has really encouraged & motivated him. My son doesn't want to miss her lesson at all! :rotflmao:

I had enrolled my Pri 4 with Wen lao Shi too. Same comments! :rotflmao:

It's a pity, Wen Lao Shi doesn't take Pri 2 class. I have to enroll my no 3 is with another teacher.

Agreed, money well spend though they are really expensive, I don't mind paying when I see my children enjoying their classes. I just hope that they will continue their good work. Thumbs up, Xuelin! :rahrah:

My children are in the Bukit Timah branch: 64665400. They have another branch in Katong( I don't know the tel).

I am really very thankful to all who has posted this thread & I enrolled my children. They have benefited tremendously in Xuelin! :thankyou:

[lim_ks]

Hi Julie, glad that you have also find XL worthwhile sending. I share the same sentiments. My kids enjoy their classes too. Always looking forward to going. :boogie:
