I do teach GEP students Chinese in tuition Centre. They are fast learner, self motivate. I enjoy teaching them.

GEP chinese is it = HCL ? is it same as mainstream?

Dun think so unless the GEP school is a SAP school. DS2's school is SAP, so he's now taking HCL but got option to drop next year if can't cope. 1st year in GEP in SAP, he must take HCL. Not sure GEP CL is mainstream HCL but GEP HCL is really tough, I had seen DS2's papers .....

GEP Chinese is exactly the same as mainstream Chinese. But school will set more difficult questions for them to answer. If they never read newspaper or story books, they will struggle when come to test or exam.

My suggestion is spend at least 15 min a day reading newspaper headline with them. Gradually kids will enjoy Chinese instead of hate Chinese.
I use this method during the class, good respond, at the end result follow.Everybody happy.

Another good way to learn Chinese is to get them watch Chinese Drama Serials, these programmes are where they learned a lot about idioms and phrases about daily life experiences.

Any good drama recommendation suitable for kids？

Actually, there is no fixed & fast rule about which Chinese Drama Series to watch, it can be drama series, daily TV chinese news reports or even a chinese movie, as long as the kids like to watch, let them because once they get 'hook' on the show, especially drama series, they will 'auto force' themselves to learn & understand the language if they want to enjoy the show. My kids even pick up the chinese idiom \"糟糠之妻“ from one of the drama series recently. Not frequently used, but at least now they know what it means.

Hi, wld like to know where normally GEP students go for tuitions? Centres or private ? Which subject? DO these centres really help?

Please gives some feedback :please:

I thought GEP kids require no tuition. Anyway, Mindstrectcher has some courses for GEP although I am not sure whether they are good or not.
