How much do you spend on the kids' tuition/enrichments?

[janet88]

CL tuition is based on $30 an hour…son has 1 1/2 hours and daughter has 1 hour…total 2 1/2 hours. Sorry if I gave wrong figure.


English enrichment at Jan & Elly…that is a killer. Actually $420 is for 1 term of 10 weeks…works out to be $42 per lesson every Sun. ($20 more for Sat/Sun). Wanted to take him out but his English subject improved.

Wanted him to continue with swimming as a form of exercise and relaxation but coach moved his swimming session to son’s nap time. No time for anything else on weekdays.

HI buds,

Yes having a maid means the non-valued jobs like washing bowls, clothes, hanging/keep laundry & washing school shoes can be passed on to maid…provided she doesn’t add on problems like her working attitude.

But without a maid, I have freedom and the amt used to spend on maid is now used on son’s enrichment lessons and not-so-tight finances. Stressful having a maid at home too…don’t know what is going on in her brain.

Hi yippee,

My daughter attends Math & Eng enrichment lessons at RC…$30 for each subject. I’ve registered her for the P1 classes already. Find price reasonable and quality is not bad.

Can I ask, how much you are spending for each classes? B'cos I am interested in you Speech classes???

It's not easy to find a good speech classes...

I just heard there is a grade exam set by UK Trinity Drama and Speech Examinations, just like piano, violine exam.

This enrichment center has related training for P4&P5 students. I called this center, 80% teachers are from UK. The rests are mostly from US, Austrilia, and 2 of their teachers are local.

I don't know whether I should enroll my DD for this center or not...time seems not enough leh...[/quote]Thanks ctct61t

I know its very expensive.... but according to sleepy, 4 classes 400$
thats why....wanted to know which place is that.

from 1/12/2010, I am a 24/7 mum/maid. Planning to teach her math n english. cos. she got band2 for both the subjects.

I have gone through all the forums for individual subjects, enrichment centers etc, etc read all the comments page by page.....but now my head is spinning very very fast. blur more blur....and I become vvvvvvvvv kiasu P

I think our dds have similar interest. Mine attended before, also asked to continue. But really no time to squeeze in additional regular classes. In the meantime, she played against PSP :lol:

What slot are you looking at? I noticed only Sat slot for beginners. Sat timing no good
