We nurture students’ confidence in Chinese language ability with core and essential materials and well-structured instruction.

Homework/Assignment, Quiz/Exam & How parents could help

Normally homework will be assigned after the classes for students 4 years old or above. The supervision from parents or helpers is highly encouraged as it can influence the child to make better progress. Test or challenge what your child learned would be discouraged. Quiz and periodical exams will be arranged for students 5 years old or above. The performance for the assignment and the exam are the important materials for the tuition’s execution and the learning process.
