Any good place to study Cambridge English near Tai Kok Tsui or Mongkok?

Anybody knows if British Council's primary English course is good or not??

Hi noddy,

       我的小朋友是在太子讀的. 他已經完成了小學的三個基本Cambridge試 (Starter, Mover & Flyer). 我選擇那間centre讀是因為他們的導師全是外國人.  這樣小朋友除了為了考試而讀外, 起碼他們可以有機會與外國人接觸.

其實現在有多很centre都開班針對考Cambridge的.  至於British Council's primary English course 小妹略嫌他們的每一班人數太多(成三十人一班), 我相信如果小朋友比較Talk active的是可以學到

So what is the name of the centre that your child studied?

It's name "English For Asia -EFA".

Hi! Beckybecky,

請問你的小朋友在幾歲考Movers呢?是考些什麼的？你覺得上course有用嗎？有朋友告訴我可自己到書局買些參考資料就可以，因為太多人１班，好難照顧到！請問你有何意見?

Hi Sarahng,

        我的小朋友在升五年級的暑假時考的, 而Flyer就在升六年級的那年暑假考的.  坊間的書和British Council賣的書有好大的分別的, 我兩個地坊都有買過參考書, 但個人應為以英國文化協會的比較接近考試範圍及形式.

Hi noddy,

        我的小朋友當年讀的時候是六至八個人一班. 但現在我的小朋友已到了英國升讀中一了, 所以資料是在三數年前的. 不過你可以打電話去問一問現在的情況.

Dear Beckybecky,

Thank you so much for your helpful informations, could you please tell me how much are those books that you brought from British Council?  

beckybecky

Hi Sarahng,

        So sorry delay to reply you.  

Books + Tape in British Council was HK$195 (old price), but always out of store on or before the examination period.

Past Paper + tape @$135 (old price) in Book Store, it base on you need the answer Booklet or not.  In Book Store they always separate Past Paper, Tape & Answer Book to sold.

Hi all,

I heard of Cambridge English Exam before but don't know much about it.  Why did you guys let you kids take those exams?

Would you mind sharing a bit?

For school or for English in general?

Some secondary schools will see students' results of Cambridge English.  So it is good for primary 6 students to take the Flyers exam (for primary 5 & 6 students) before they apply for secondary schools.  But make sure to get full marks (i.e. 15 shields, 5 shields each for listening, writing and oral) or at least 12 shields.

I think it is also useful for the kids to take the Starters (for primary 1 & 2) and Movers (for primary 3 & 4) exam.  It can help to improve and test the kids' English standard in listening, writing and oral.

My son got full marks in the Starters (2 years ago) and also Movers exam (in September).  My son's English standard is not bad, so I just arranged him to take a short course in  an English centre in Hung Hom  to get familiar with  the exam format and did some past papers.  I don't think it is worthwhile to take a 1-year course to prepare for the exam.  Some centres claimed their students got full marks but please note that their  students had taken  more than 6 months or even 1 year to prepare for the exam. The centre  does not recommend to take such a long course.  

The Centre is famous for Cambridge English.
Some students come from Tai Po, Tsuen Wan and Sai Wan Ho.  For those who have interest, please contact them on 2330 5887.
