my 2 DS are happily attending Berries @ Palais Renaissance.
the teachers are great........ patient with the kids & it's nice to see them always cheerful
my 2 DS adapted quickly because berries teaches mandarin the fun way and also because the teachers are patient.

RE: Children's Technology Workshop
i sent my DS to their holiday workshops. my DS enjoys the workshops very much. not sure about their weekly lessons though.
perhaps you can consider the holiday workshops before deciding on the weekly ones?

RE: Brainfit Studio - Discussion
pokemon:
normal children or special needs children, all can attend.GabyEn and Cookie,
Can i know what kind of enrichment or training centre brainfit is? Is it a intelligent/brain development (aka left/right brain) training centre for normal kids or special needs children? How do their pgm work on a child?
Tks
different programmes for different areas. sorry, i'm not able to explain all. perhaps you can check their website or call them.
can consider sending your child for assessment to assess which areas are his strengths & weaknesses. when i sent my child for the assessment and signed up the course, the assessment fee of $300+ was 'waived'. that was when the fees were sky high ($4000+, almost 5k). now that it's much cheaper, i'm not sure of the fee structure, etc.
one of the 'course' is to 'train' the child to be more focused and improve his/her reactions. -
RE: Brainfit Studio - Discussion
hi GabyEn, my son attended 60 sessions. previously, itβs pay for 40 sessions and get 20 sessions free. paid $4800 i think. now its much cheaper β¦ $3000+ for 60 sessions.
my son played computer games and did some exercises there. not much improvement, not significant. but perhaps itβs because my son didnt really needed it in the first place and for the excercises, we did not practice at home. or perhaps i didnt send my son to the βrightβ courses (the course that i sent him does not really address my concern).
however, i like the staff there for being professional & honest. they told me honestly where are the strengths and weaknesses of my boy. even highlighted that i may not see significant improvement as my boy is already rather intelligient. cant remember why i still send him even though the advisor highlighted thisβ¦
but i believe it is very individual. though my son didnt improve much, but i do believe Brainfit has helped other children. -

RE: P2 Math - General Discussion
verykiasu2010:
that is how i train my kid to visualise it
thanks!cookie:
[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]
40 - 28 = 12
3A - 2A = A
B - B = zero
hence A = 12
3 A = 36
Hence B = 4
after reading your post, it suddenly occur to me that the diff between the two sentences is an A.
so if 40 - 28 = A, then A is 12.
28 - 12 - 12 = 4 (B is 4)
to confirm, 12 + 12 + 12 + 4 = 40
this way can?
too early to solve the equation in P1
you can change it to A = apple and B = Orange to be less abstract for a start
after that the kid will pick up very fast[/quote]will use this method, but when he doesnt really get it, i get 'worried'.
now he is still trying to figure out even after i explained to him.
must be my explanation is poor ...... haha
