My son attended Jiang for 6 months in P5 and I have to say that we were disappointed with the result. His result dipped from 80+ to 60+. Now after we stopped and got a private tutor instead, his result is back to 80+.


The classroom is so big (at least 20 students) and so cramped....

Can i ask why you feel Disappointed with the result? Is that only bcoz of the class is big? so how many students in your son s class at school? Are you really concerned about what the teachers did and appreciate it? Or maybe it is your own reason?

So please say something useful and share with other parents instead of keep complaining. :siao:

My DS was under Jiang in P6, he scored A in his PSLE Chinese. After that, he continued with Jiang in his Sec 1-4, and to our surprise, he gets in A1 in his O-level this year. I think Jiang does some helps to my DS as Chinese is not his school’s strength. As most of his classmates are from Non-chinese speaking family.

My son was in their gifted class. It not really for gifted kids, rather its just a terminology used for 3 hours class. He left 2 years ago.


Materials - very good.
Class size - a big minus.
Environment - Not very condusive - very crampy.
Teachers - Not bad
Culture - Not bad

Thanks for your sharing. And could you share with other parents how s your DD s results? Is that improved a lot? Thanks.

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!!!

My son also the same. Keep crying b4 the class. So headache! :?:

Agreed. Materials & teachers are good. Not for those looking for small class size. More for above average kids & those who do higher Chinese.

[phtthp]

does the 3 hours P1 Chinese include "Show and Tell" ?

[jukids]

Hi, so far have not heard anything abt show n tell. however, they ask the kids to read a chinese story book (their own) and tell the other kids the story in class, about 2 kids or so will go up in front of the class and talk abt the book.
