Thanks carebear. Looks like a very useful and user-friendly website for mums like me!


I brought my dd to tuition today. Her tutor speaks to her in Chinese and she answers in English. I think this is good enough for now, at least she can understand her tutor. I’ll wait for the day when she’ll answer back in Chinese.

My dd had chinese in kindergarten and even had enrichment classes by ednoland in the school. But unfortunately, she doesn’t have practice at home.


The Chinese tutor said there’ll be max of 3 students per 1.5 hr session. Is this good enough? She suggested to come twice a week.

Does anyone know what are the rates for tuition? I have no comparison and in a panic state already and wasn’t able to shop around well. The tutor is charging 30 per session. Is this reasonable?

Thank you mickeyhmh.


I will check out these centres. I did find a Chinese Tutor nearby and will start my DD tomorrow. Hope it works out.

My dd started primary 1 this year. She’s taking chinese for MT.

Yesterday, when i came home from work, she was crying and very stressed out as she needs to do a "show and tell" for chinese. She could not construct her piece. I tried to help her using chinese picture dictionary but i don’t know how to construct proper sentences. we basically put together words, not knowing if it made sense at all.

She came home again today crying because she said she froze when it was her turn to do the show and tell because she knows that her piece is all wrong.

I am planning to get a chinese tutor for her ASAP. any good recommendations? we live at Bishan area.

Also, is there a chinese tuition for parents of primary school children? something like a class for non-chinese speaking parents who wants to help their primary schooling kids?

The least i want to happen is for her to get very stressed with chinese that she’ll hate the language.

Any advise will greatly help! thanks.

Hi!

Thanks buds!!


A friend told me about this site sometime back and been browsing through for quite some time.

Only found the 'courage' to 'stand-up and be heard' today, so to speak.

Great site! very helpful!!

First of all, i would like to say hi to all. I’m a newbie at Kiasuparents but have been browsing through this site for some time now.


My girl just started primary school this year. She’s celebrating her birthday next week and have no idea how birthdays are spent in P1. In her old kindergarten - birthday girls/boys bring goodie bags to school or parents bring cake to share to classmates.

Any advise or experience on this? Thanks!

i’m a newbie too!!
