All About Abacus Training

[peijun]

Hi Grelim,


thanks for your inputs. Yes I agree with u the pt of enrihcment is to supplement and assist subjects the kids r weak in, if they r good there's no nid for even enrichment.
I just checked out the ctr at Yew tee and signed my boy up for a trial class. The teachers at the center all seem to be PRC/taiwanese. I was speaking to her in Mandarin. While I was there, an indian student asked her a question and she replied in english which startled me a little as it is heavily accented (PRC chinese accent) Not sure if my boy will hv problems understanding the lessons or not as I understand it will be conducted in English. Is it the same at other branches? Anyone can feedback or similar experiences?

BTW anyone care to share your child's details for discount referral? Pls pm me!

I am wondering about the quality of English used in MC as I am aware that a lot of teachers are prc. Yesterday while I was shopping, I observed a mother-and-son pair conversing. The mother spoke in perfect fluid English while her 5 yr old spoke in Singlish and broken English. With the exception of the Paragon branch, I was also told about the low level of English used. I am wondering if the kids are ever taught English by bilingual prc staff whose first language isn’t English?

I had my son learning Abacus since 5.5 yrs old .. his teacher run around Singapore's RCs and CCs to teach.. so far I really like the way she teach. My son now into multiplication already. mmm if anyone interested, u can PM me ba. Its best to contact her directly. So far I only know she teach in Jalan Membina and The Serangoon CC. I think Marine Parade also have but must check with her.

That teacher conducts lesson in Mandarin or English?

I came to know that there were a few Monkey Abacus (Appleplus) centre which will not be running the Monkey Abacus class in some of the centres.

May I know are there any parents being affected in this? So wondering which Abacus class can be continue as learning CMA method would be not easy to adapt.
3G abacus would be one of the possible solution.

i’m keen to enroll my boy in some kind of math enrichment class but am so confused about which one is good for him. abacus or not? then have diferent schools with different methods…?? he’s keen in math (give him workbooks on my own) but i want him to have a good base so he’ll be able to cope well in P1. any recommendations in the Sengkang area?


also, i was thinking of just trying the ones at the CCs. Is it good enough? Saw this advert from Cana Education centre, doing it just near my block, couldn’t find any reviews. any feedback?
