自組 Jolly Phonics class in North Point

bb2001

Hello 各位，

我聯絡過兩位tutor，都係Jolly Learning official homepage裡面找的，希望可以組到另外兩位小朋友一齊學Phonics.
而時間、上課地點就可以大家再相就。
如果三個小朋友一組，學費會是HK$450�Hr。
年齡最好係 3.5 - 4.5 歲。

I am interested, but my child will only turn 3 years old this Sept. If it is OK, please let me know.

Hello Jenniferpl, Worlpeace and Kitty0303,

Since I've only contact the tutor for the charge first, not yet check the available time yet. Therefore, I don't have the schedule yet.
The charge is 450/hr for 3 kids, as a result, 150/hr/each.
I would like to see whether I can find a centre where can be rent one hr /week near NP MTR.
I would prefer weekday after 3pm, if can't match with other partners, Saturday will also be done.

About the tutors, there is a guy and a lady, for my feelings, the guy seems to be more professional. I can pm their reply to you for reference if you wanted.

Hi bb2001
That's mean the price does not include rental of place.  My child is studying in the afternoon. So, can only join you after 5pm during weekdays.

bb2001

hi jenniferpl,

The price does not include the rental, I will check the rental these two days.

I am also trying to arrange JP class for my daughter.  She is now 3.5 yrs old.  I have in mind a teacher from Victoria Kindergarten ( a native Eng speaker) who has experience in teaching JP there.  She is my daughter's K1 teacher in Victoria.

Is your self-arranged class full? If not, would you consider forming a class of 2-3 kids together using my girl's teacher?

Pl let me know asap. Thanks.

Hi ahtkk,

So you think your girl's teacher is good?
In fact, I've no preference. The 2 tutors I contacted are from the Jolly Learning website.

The critical point now is the place to hold the class.
I don't want to be at my home but prefer nearby.
I'm still searching suitable place. Please advise if you have any suggestion.

My daughter's teacher is a nice young lady. Being a kinder teacher and as I observed, she is very patient working with small children.  That's why I have asked her to give private tuition.

It seems not worthy to spend extra money on renting a place.  Actually I am asking the teacher if she could come to my home and she is ok with that.  I live in Quarry Bay.  Why don't you like having class at home?

How old is your kid? boy or girl? and has he/she learned phonics before?

bb2001

Why don't you like having class at home?
1. There are too many people at home, not convenient.
2. I'm afraid he can't concentrate.

My son is just 4 years old last month. He doesn't learn phonics before, only three months Lily course by CECES. I don't think it is good for him, so I quited.

BTW, how much will be your girl's teacher charge for a 3 kids group?

I've tried to contact my daughter's teacher but she is not in HK so I can't check the charge at this moment.  She will be back in mid-Aug.  Would that be too late for you?

bb2001

ahtkk,

I can wait.
I wanted to start the class in Sept.
So, how about your daughter? Is she having another class?

Fifimom

Dear bb 2001,
Thanks for your info.

Dear worldpeace,
TST is a short form of TsimShaTsui at my place, my girl is 6 and I think its a bit of a hassle to take an MTR and then a van to the center just to learn one hour phonics.
