Re: 請問有沒有參加小一面試培訓班
Truely agree with M&MMOM, those classes help kids become less shy and acquire the interview skills, of which I found is not very helpful.
My elder son attended the one in MK. He is a very outgoing person, and not shy to any question. So those class make him a bit tooooo welllll prepared for interview, ie like an answering machine.
I think the best is: you have to spend more time with the kids, teaching them the proper manner, read books, play games, puzzle with them, buy some creative games, such as story tellling, etc. This class can help, but definitely the more rely on the parent.
Finally for those top schools, mostly kids admitted by relationship, by talent (on which these classes can't do too much abt it), and by luck. I have seems some kids admitted by SPCC, DBS at same time, they are really smart!
For my son, he (I) fails these top schools' interviews, (I applied only a few, but the top), even though we spend >$10000. But he got admitted by luck to La Salle thru the lucky draw with 20 points.

Dears,
I have two kids, one in P3 and one in K3 now. I had sent both of them to two different interview classes.
1.From my experience, if you are working mom and have no time to train up your kids by yourself, you can send them to interview class.
2. the peer group influence will also help them to behave properly, better than you just tell them to do and not to do.
3. Interview class will be more helpful if your children is shy.
4. none of the questions taught in the interview class will be asked in any school interview.
5. the oral expression of your children in cantonese will be improved greatly, but you can only be aware of these after all school interviews are over or even when they go to P1 (both my daughter and son are looked after by filipino helpers that their cantonese is poor and expression is very clumsy. But I found the oral expression of my daughter when she was in P1 was far better than her other active classmates who did not attend any interview class.)
6. My daughter took the one near "Golden Dragon Boat ? Chinese Restaurant" at Mongkok KCR.
They have different " 專班" for St Francis, St Paul Co-ed, DGS, GH,...etc and my daughter joined all (and from April to Nov the following year, I spent HK$20,000+ including one to one for DGS專班).
They lock the door, only children can enter the centre and in different time (e.g. every 15 or 30 min) so you will not know how many children are taught at the same time. They have two teachers plus some temporary staff during peak seasons.
They put children in different rooms and the teachers go to the rooms in turn.
The two teachers are very experienced and do try their best to teach the children
One of the teachers is very strict, comment / criticize rather than praise / encourage the children.
The children will still enjoy the class as they can go the stickers, little gifts and play with the other kids
As I was not allowed to stay in the centre, I went for shopping in New Century Plaza or even Fa Yuen Street, that I felt exhausted whenever I broughter my daughter there (my own problem, not because of the interview class !)
7. My son took the one at Nice Studio. They don't have so many" 專班", just DGS and DBS for a few lessons only. But they have several talk and more than one model interviews which are NOT free of charge. From end Feb to Oct the following year, I spent HKD10,000, include one to two專班 for DBS.
There are 6 children max in each class, plus 1-2 for make class and less 1-2 absent.
The same one teacher and same group of children throughout the course, fixed room throughout the lesson.
The teachers are also very experienced and do try their best to teach the children
They teach the children with fun and leisure and the children enjoy the class as well as playing with the other kids very much.
I found my son though much LESS clever than my daughter, did learn faster and perform better.
The centre is very quite far away from any shopping centre, and there is not even a 7-11. I can go nowhere but sit outside the studio, chat with the other moms and take a rest.
8. My daughter and my son were accepted by most of the famous (above average) schools (St Francis, Kowloon, Alliance, GH, Tan Siu Lin, ..etc) but EXCEPT the very top one (DGS, DBSPD, St Paul Coed). Reasons can be :
- they are younger as born in Oct / Nov
- but they have good academic results, extra curricular activities, school recommendation letter
- I am a working mom. Although I also started training them by myself, but only from around Christmas when they were in K2 and it was too late.
- interview class can help to raise their standard to above average but not to the very top.
- academic results / extra curricular activities / school recommendation letter are considered by the above average school but not so much the very top one which stress more on performance during interview while academic results / extra curricular activities / school recommendation letter are the basic requirement.
Finally, just want to state that I have no connection with any one of the above interview class, just want to share what I had experienced after completing the two important assignments - getting my beloved kids to P1.
Good luck to all of you.
