How much would you pay for your child's enrichment courses?

[Steadyberry]

Hi okosbaba


Pen88n was right. The swimming lesson & cl tuition is way too expensive. Yr kid is only in K1. U were right to say "it will get worse in p1". There r math, eng compo, cl comp… Another thing is yr kid might not hv time to attend so many enrichment once they r in pri.

Hi meiah

Thks. Same as u, I will look for cheaper alternative. Just stopped my son’s 1-1 eng & maths tuition ($220/mth) n put him in cheap gr tuition ($85/mth/2 subjects). My ds1 only attended few mths of kindy as we were in overseas for the past few yrs, therefore engaged 1-1 for him when he was in p1 just in case he can’t cope with sg standard. Will continue to monitor my kids’ progress, if ok will cut down or chg to cheaper ones.

Okosbaba:

Chinese: 120 * 4 = 480.00 per month

Swimming: $200.00 per month

Chinese
my child same age as yours: also K1.
$120 per lesson for K1 is far too ex! :yikes:

why not send him to \"Jiang lao shi\" or Han Language ?
Jiang lao shi: cost fees paid by per semester (6 months) ... around $23 per lesson. Content not bad. Weekday K1 class around 5 kids, taught by China teacher(s). At aged K1, they learn through fun interaction in small group.

Swimming
can bring your child to Tampines Sports meet swimming pool around $60 per mth.

at aged K1, whatever you can save - save for later future use.

Hi, I suppose the fee of $200 for swimming lesson is for 1 to 1 private swim session, once the kid pick up the basic strokes, go for group of 2 or 3 will help to bring the fee down substantially, JMHO.

About $350 per child in one week. I used weekly easier to count. This is considered reduce liao compare to last time horse riding and golf lessons.

Hi all,


Currently looking around for enrichment classes for my 5 year old girl. Would like to know how are some of the more prominent enrichment centres charging? And are they really worth the price? (First-time mum, so I do not really know what is a reasonable price) Would appreciate most if you can share how often do these enrichment centres revise their fees.

Thank you so much! :salute:

I track cost per week too.


I spend $620 per week for my N2 daughter, including kindergarten school fees.

School fees, Chinese class (3x a week), reading class (2x a week), gym, tennis, swimming, montessori maths, and soon piano.

I hope to cut down chinese and reading classes next year.

Without knowing the family income level and the no. of kids/age per household, and the what kind of tuitions and enrichments, the survey is useless…

[friendship]

ya true, this survey is not accurate.

It depends on the family income, the age group of the kids and how many children the family has.
How to compare on-going school children and the 6-years old below?

6-years old below have plenty of time to take all sort of enrichment.
On-going school children won’t have such luxury anymore as they have to spent whole afternoon in school.

I had the tutor come to my place and it’s all worth it. My children are more willing to learn and dare to ask questions during one-to-one tutoring. And I pay only $35/hr.
