There are Caucasians and Indians sending their children to the speech and drama programme to learn the Chinese language. My children were foreign to Chinese before P1 too, but we wanted something offering more than just drilling, worksheets and exams. We wanted a conducive environment for loving the Chinese language while preserving the local culture and traditions unique to Singapore. The pioneer teachers there if you speak with them are like teachers we can relate to very much. They all speak like the FM95.8 DJs like of accent, unlike mainland mandarin.

My kids now in upp pri, are doing well in normal chinese and one most like will do higher chinese. The other child’s results is eligible too but he is not so interested. They still do not speak mandarin at home, but we can tell their speaking is more accurate than most Singaporean as they are learning from the correct people i.e. teachers in school and huay kuan, vs Singlish. However, I think that you are looking for a place for quick result, the more popular tuition centres would be more suitable for you. But if you are looking at longer terms beyond secondary school, then I believe huay kuan has the right people and environment for the kids.

Heard from my friend that tried both that the child was more receptive to HKHK’s one than Berries. And she said HKHK is cheaper too comparatively. Hence, I chose it for my child.

Thanks for the clarification FantasyLandDreams. Let's hope we can get some positive feedback here. The class size is huge IMO, considering the fees are not exactly cheap.

How are the fees like? I was thinking of checking out their holiday programmes when it's nearer to June, just to try out

I just went down to the EAst coast branch about 3 weeks ago to find out more about the zuo wen class too.
Had confirmed that oral is not covered in this class and max is 25 students.
Was also told that teachers will teach 好词好句 in the zuo wen class and how to incorporate these in zuo wen. However there is no test to make sure children has learnt how to use these 好词好句 the following week. Teacher does mark the zuo wen but I am not sure if there is a model essay given.
If you are interested to find out more, can always give them a ring to ask, they are very helpful in my enquiries.
Hopefully parents with children in current zuo wen class can share more with you on the effectiveness as I have yet to enroll my child.

Do they also do oral practice? I’m also curious on how the teacher guide the children to write and if the children are given model essay to read or refer to. It seems that the P3 and P4 are grouped together, and no distinction between CL or HCL. How do you or your children find such arrangement? How many children max. in a class? Is the teaching comprehensive and effective for your children? Thank you.

Hi Hquek,

Thanks for the sharing.
Can I check with you, as they do not have separate CL and HCL classes (all mixed in one class), from what you see of the materials, any idea if it can meet HCL standards?
ehhh, best to check with SHHK. The staff are very nice people and don't hard sell (I was looking at a new class they setting up and the lady I spoke to was very candid to the market this class is aimed at).

But hor....SHHK schools are all SAP schools and all have HCL. I would think that their materials should be HCL ready.

How do you find it so far ?
Did your child improve in his / her zuo wen, after attending ?
Thanks, for sharing.

Hi there,


Need some advice here... is it advisable for children in K1 attending the lessons at Huay kuan or berries ? Berries would be a better choice ?
DS1 attended Berries when he was in N2 for a spell. I later transferred him to SHHK LeLe class becos it was nearer for me, fees were cheaper (THEN), and I found the materials better. Materials for this class are written in house and I like they use good words. DS2 also joined this class.

No regrets. BUT, my kids are resistant to Chinese so the benefits they get is limited. Go check out the materials before committing, the staff there are very friendly also.

Hi,

Anyone can share feedback on their Chinese creative writing class and regular Chinese class for P2? Do they follow the MOE syllabus? Thanks.
Hi, my kids attend the chinese creative writing class. Not sure how to class if it's good or not, but I do like SHHK materials. Problem is that my kids don't speak much Chinese. For me, I have both SHHK writing and a private tutor weekly. So far their results have been good (at times even better for the other subjects - which is really weird cos they do NOT speak chinese to me).

Understand that their regular Chinese class goes according to MOE syllabus. But I had not explored cos I got a private tutor.

Hokkien Huay Kuan is starting a new campus in Upper East Coast (ex Chai Chee Secondary site) in mid Jan 2014 and included classes like their Popular Mandarin Broadcasting classes for P3 onwards . I’ve enrolled my two kids for 9.15-10.45am classes 广播班, they need another 8 (minimum 10 students) to start the class as I could not attend their 11.15am classes. They so far only advertise once in Straits Times only so response is not good but their Toa Payoh classes are fully taken up. Fees is $380 per term add 1st time registration fees $20 (for new students).

Anyone interested in the 9.15am Upper East Coast Chinese Broadcasting classes广播班, pls contact/register at their Toa Payoh office :-
Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan
Address: 397 Lorong 2 Toa Payoh, Singapore 319639
Phone:6354 1972
Think their operating hours (closed on Monday) : 9-4.30pm (lunch 12-1pm).

My gal is learning chinese in childcare and next year when she is in pri 1, she is not taking chinese as her second language. I do not want her to lose touch.


Do you think it would be a good environment for her to join her. I want her to learn the language in a fun way and no stress for her.

Any recommendation please.

Anybody know about next year class schedule.

Thank you.
