Jiang Education Centre - Discussion

[Coolkidsrock2]

Jiang has breaks in class for the lower levels. Since p1, my son would bring a snack for his class.


Personally, I find the quality of the teachers uneven so sometimes, the feedback on whether Jiang is good or not is dependent on who the teacher is. His results was in the high 90s until there was a change in the teacher and in less than a month, there was a big figure drop in scores.

Thus far, the feedback I had received from those in my circle is they deliver the As (min) and the Distinction/Merit for HCL. Even at secondary school level, they still deliver. And the best part is the time needed is these 3 hours there and their homework is enough.

maybe you can discuss with the teacher, that happened to my boy before.


i wrote an email telling them to make the lesson more fun rather than just drilling. the next following lesson actually was better, and my boy no longer complain. He has been with them, the 3hour class, for 3years.

hi Always21,

Wh level was your son when he first join Jiang? My DD said she cried in the class and the teacher asked her to 闭嘴. i was quite appalled by it given that she was saying it to a new student who is only P1.

Did you email the teacher in English or Mandarin?

I email them in English. I did not mention my boy name. I just stated that my boy found the lesson to boring, keeping reading. My boy said that the past teacher has more interaction and told stories to them.

Their reply was that I can talk to the teacher directly but this time she will talk to her.

That was the only time my son complain. Now he is pri4, he still enjoy the class.

Hope it helps.

My son was also previously from Berries and we just switched to Jiang. However, he complained that the teacher was very fierce and scolded him because he didn’t know how to do the worksheet. Some of the kids also get scolded too. Anyone have this experience?

janett,


is yr son’s Chinese teacher the same as becknat68 child’s tr ?
maybe both of you can pm each other, find out.

If indeed the same tr, maybe feedback to management that she too fierce to handle P1 kids. Shouldn’t scold children, if they don’t know how to do P1 worksheets.

My experience in Jiang P1 last year was bad . I noticed teacher did not pay attention on the work sheet completed by children so no point waste $

I guess not all children suited to learn at Jiang. I heard a lot of good reviews about Jiang but when my son attended the classes there, his result deteriorated. Maybe it was our bad luck that we did not get good teacher.

Hi always21,

I just emailed her and told her to give my DD more time to adjust to the changes in environment and extended hours and also grant her 15 mins break. Hopefully she will do as told. Somehow for DD, it seems like damage already done as she is quite phobic to go to Jiang now. headache.. :scratchhead: :scratchhead: :scratchhead:

My son joined the 1.5hr in K2 and just started the 3hr class in for P1.

He’s quite timid and has been crying since the change from childcare this year, so before Chinese class, he cries for an hr b4 going in. (yup, i’m the mother of the crying boy at Sunday’s 12.50pm class) whereas he was fine in K2. his teacher (same teacher as his K2 class) was v patient with him, holding him n encouraging him to get him to join the class.

For me, at P1, the main purpose is to expose him to Chinese which we rarely speak at home. since he started the class in K2, he is able to speak some Mandarin. They do have Chinese classes in his childcare but he refuses to speak the language.

and also, i was so stressed out on sunday with his crying b4 the class, i forgot to thank the mother whose son was in the same class as mine. she asked her boy to come out of the class with a lollipop and try to get my boy to join the class. altho my boy refused the help, thanks so much (if you happen to be in this forum). hope we bump into each other on sunday!!!
