Do you want your child to excel in Chinese while at the same time enjoy learning?

Of course I want!

The problem is, finding the right tutor or right tuition centre can be frustrating!

In fact, more than 50% of parents lamented that there is still no improvement in their children’s Chinese results despite paying a hefty tuition fees! Why?

Common problems with Private tutor

Lack of commitment (only teach for few weeks to few months)

Lack of experience (part-time tutors, or student tutors)

Not MOE-trained, still using syllabus donkey years ago!

Fake credentials of tutors

Last minute cancellation of lesson

High tuition fees that do not justify

Common problems with Tuition Centre

Large class size which defeat the purpose of having tuition classes

Untrained teachers, many tuition centres resort to part-time teachers to maximise profits

Using one-size-fits-all curriculum, expecting all students to learn at the same pace

“Professional Chinese teachers” but usually is not certified, let alone NIE-trained.

Applying rote-learning, for eg memorising Composition essays, killing the interest in learning amongst children which the effects are detrimental.

High course fees which do not justify.

From TGC Mummy of 7 and 9 years old and Co-founder of Today Got Class – Lydia

I came to know of FUNTASTIC Chinese Education Hub while looking out for quality Mandarin programmes to recommend on Today Got Class, and was certainly impressed after Founder and Principal Mr Jaycee Neo shared more about the centre. Principal Neo himself was an experienced (and award winning!) educator with MOE. Thus, the enrichment curriculum has been carefully designed to complement MOE’s syllabus yet catering to the different learning styles of students. As a further validation to the quality of the curriculum, their programmes have been endorsed by heavy weights in the education field – Professor Kenneth DEAN (Head of Chinese Studies, NUS) and Associate Professor Ong Yong Peng (Lecturer, Asian Languages and Cultures, National Institute of Education).

FUNTASTIC’s approach of teaching the Chinese Language in a fun and interactive manner certainly appeals to me as I feel that children learn better through experiences, creative thinking and interesting engagements.

Check out Funtastic’s classroom for the younger kids!

Knowing that I was on the lookout for 作文classes for my elder (P3) boy, Principal Neo invited him for a session of the Junior Writers’ Workshop.

I personally find it very difficult to “teach” 作文at home.

What I could only do was to prepare a list of 好词佳句 and generic 开头and 结尾 and made sure he memorise those phases and find some way to use them during essay writing. While #1 was not exactly thrilled to attend another Chinese class (he is currently attending weekly Chinese lessons somewhere else), he dutifully went for his writing workshop as he is always eager to try something new (Great attitude!).

While he was in class, I managed to steal a quick chat with Principal Neo. I asked if the students are made to write 作文every week to hone their writing skills. Principal Neo explained that the focus for each lesson differs and the students would be taught different writing strategies and styles to enhance their writing skills.

As I lament that my boy typically thinks in English and writes in Chinese, he assures me that it’s quite common and might not be an issue of concern at this point if it does not affect the way that ideas are expressed in his writing. As #1 builds his confidence in writing, he should be able to formulate and craft his ideas (naturally) in Chinese in time to come.

When I arrived at the centre 10 minutes before class dismissal, I saw my #1 in deep concentration and scribbling on his worksheet.

Quite a stark contrast from the typical session at home where his “pattern” would be write one sentence – pause to think – check 字典 – erase some words – write another sentence – pause to think halfway – and this goes on. Genuinely surprised that he actually appeared comfortable with writing. 😊

#1’s feedback on the class when he walked out after class.  

“Mum! There is another school mate in the same class!”

“Actually, the class not bad, I like.”

“Teacher said my Chinese quite good (huh??)”

So would I be signing him up for more writing lessons at Funtastic Chinese Education Hub? I’m seriously considering as:

• #1 seems to enjoy it (PS: How many kids enjoy going for Chinese writing classes?)
• I like the personalised approach that the centre adopts. While waiting for #1, I’ve seen Principal Neo giving really detailed feedback to parents on how their kids were coping.
• The centre is near to where I stay (Funtastic is located at 257 Pasir Ris Street 21 #01-299 Singapore 510257, opposite Loyang point).

Other than Chinese writing classes, Funtastic also offers many other interesting classes such as Chinese Calligraphy, Speech and Drama, Singing classes, Junior Presenter, etc. Do check out their suite of enrichment classes at http://www.todaygotclass.com/funtastic-pasirris

How to help your child Excel in Chinese? The 5Es

How to help your child excel Chinese? The 5 Es

Excitement 
Get your child excited in learning Chinese. Interest is the best teacher. Think of our hobbies, what motivates us to engage in our hobbies? It is the excitement and pleasure that we derived from our hobbies that keep us moving. Similarly, in learning languages, we need to heighten our children’s interests in learning Chinese, an engaged lesson, language games, skillful teachers, effective lesson delivery, conducive environment all these will help to entice our children to learn.

Encouragement
Everyone needs encouragement. Encouragement can do miracle. Sometimes, our children need our moral support and praises more than anything else. In their growing up years and learning journey, parents’ support and encouragement play a pivotal role in grooming the characters of our children. Studies have also shown that students with strong parental support generally perform better academically.

Exemplify
Very often, we hear parents telling their children that they can’t help them because they are also not good at Chinese. This is rather worrying as our children will think “since Daddy and Mummy can’t do it, it is perfectly fine for me not doing well as well”. Unknowingly, this has indirectly discouraged our children to learn. These children would find excuses to avoid learning Chinese. Children always look up to us, so it is important we lead by example, even though we might not be able to give them the right answer, but we definitely able to give them the right attitude in life.

Empower
We need to empower our children to learn effectively. Study smart, not study hard. Our children need to be equipped with the effective learning strategies, they need to cultivate the inquiring minds, they need to learn beyond textbooks. Tuition and enrichment centres with a strong curriculum and accreditation (for example all teachers need to be NIE-trained and undergone training) will provide the additional support to let our children excel in Chinese. However, do ensure that the teachers have the credentials and teaching competencies, to ensure high-quality lessons. 

Excellence
The goal of learning Chinese is to work towards the mastery of the language, and this is the highest level of language learning. As Funtastic Chinese Education Hub’s Academic Advisor Professor Kenneth DEAN puts it, 

“Many students think that it is not necessary to learn Chinese, however, they failed to look at the big picture. China is such a vast market. Singapore needs to collaborate with China in different ways. Hence, we need to nurture talent who is not only effectively bilingual, but one who is bicultural with very high standard of Chinese.”
