To learn something and timely practice it – it is a pleasure, isn’t it?
Chinese Holiday Program
2021 is not an easy year for the kids (parents are forever not easy and now think it’s even worse😂) – HBL, QO, Home Recovery, Mask to school every day, and frequent ART swabs! Finally, we all hang on till the end of the year! Still, there are many uncertainties this December. While for some parents it’s quite a struggle as whether to bring the kids out for a staycation or an overseas trip, there is another group of us who want to fill this holiday for our kids with more enriching activities! So, if you belong to the latter, why not prepare a year-end gift that is both experiential and fun (actually to make the kids occupied and probably a relief for us too, lol😋).

Singaporean Chinese kids typically don’t like Chinese as a school subject, as English is their de-facto mother tongue. Many parents feedback that even though they try to speak with the kids in Chinese, they will still reply in English. This is really uniquely Singapore. However, we believe the root cause is actually a lacking of the environment as everyone is more comfortable to converse in English.

How Do We Create a Chinese Environment for The Kids?
Home tutors are not cheap and we can’t afford to have them everyday, tuition centres are more to drill for exams and most of the time would just make the kids hate Chinese more, at home our language used is very rojak and got Singlish accent. How??? Not to worry!
EliteKid Chinese program might be your Panadol. It’s a one-stop solution which brings interactive Chinese curriculum, passion igniting teaching methodology, and native Chinese teachers one shot. Not to mention its effectiveness to make our kids falling in love with Chinese again! Teachers from EliteKid provide constant encouragements and timely markings of homework with cute pictures, surprisingly over time, kids all get so enthusiastic to record their Chinese reading (朗读) and can’t wait to submit every week!

Chinese Transformation Journey
The Holiday Chinese Program is our signature program held twice a year for June and December holidays. For June 2021, we had an overwhelming response with 180+ kids signed up within one week, it was too oversubscribed that we have to close the registration before the planned date.

We offer 40% discount off our regular program pricing exclusively for the holiday program, as we would like more kids to benefit from the new way of approaching Chinese learning. At the same time, we want to help you-the big headed parents over your kids’ Chinese learning too:) When tuitions can’t really have much effect on them anymore, don’t give up, let them have a try with EliteKid and probably it’s the beginning of a transformation journey!
For those of you who are too busy to plan for things to do for your kids, our Full Program has an intensity of 4 Times a week at 10 am or 2 pm to keep them occupied every day. For the busy busy kids & parents, not to worry too, we prepared a lesser frequency Lite Program.
