Being Bilingual to Effectively Participate in the Global Economy- Importance of Learning Chinese/ Mandarin

"The Speak Mandarin Campaign was launched on 7 September 1979 by the then prime minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. The campaign was initially started to simplify the language environment, improve communication among Chinese Singaporeans from the various dialect groups, and create a Mandarin-speaking environment in support of the national bilingual education policy. Over the years, the campaign has evolved and expanded its goals to include the promotion of Chinese culture in general among Chinese Singaporeans."
A lot of the people I have met always talk about how they were unable to understand what their Chinese language teacher or tutor is teaching them as they were TOO FOCUSED on getting the technical part of Mandarin into the students. While there is nothing wrong with it, we believe strongly that instilling interest and making learning EASY for learners are more important than anything else.

Many people find Mandarin difficult as it can be confusing with 4 phonetics and most importantly, the characters do not look anything like the alphabets we are used to. As such, picking up this language has been a chore for many people out there.

Having personally and successfully helped many people love and enjoy learning Mandarin as a language, I realised it takes more than knowing the language. It takes passion and the ability to relate the art of mandarin through English to the students.

The tutor specialised in teaching Mandarin at all levels, be it:

1. Students who need to score for exam
2. Working adults who might need to converse in Chinese language at times at the workplace or simply out of interest

Our teacher is bilingual, NIE trained with 10 years of teaching experience. Need help in your Chinese? Do not hesitate to contact us:

Ace English Exams

"We know that every child is different and performs differently at home and in schools. The children differ in their behaviour, learning and grasping power. The performance of every child is different and it cannot be compared with one another. Some students are very brilliant and some need extra attention and care so that they are able to show their performances. Private Home tuition has become necessary for every student; as a brilliant student has to compete with other students and keep the pace of getting good scores while weak students have to struggle for getting good marks. There are various benefits of home tuition for both students and parents. Some of them are listed below: Extra attention: The students are able to get care and attention from their teacher which may be the lacking point in their traditional class rooms. Private tuition is helpful in imparting the knowledge and interest in the student and they are able to get maximum benefits from home tuition. Improve learning styles: The students are able to explore new learning style and they are able to change the way they study in the classroom. Home tuition will help them build confidence and hence speed up their learning process. This is very important for student to discover the most effective way for learning so that they are able to excel in their studies and career in life. Improved Performance: Sometimes the student is afraid of one subject or maybe even more. With the help of home tuition, he is able to concentrate more on that subject. Private tuition will give the students opportunity to practice more and more. It is advised that the student must take full advantage of home tuition and try various exercises so that he is able to improve upon his weakest areas."

Projects & Homework: Get It Done and Over With

Procrastination is mental hindrance obstructing your success. Block out diversions and stay on errand with these strategies.

1. Power up your progress by reading: Reading opens the doors to 'ahamoments' and divine ideas that will motivate you to take action. Pencil in reading time daily. Reading enlightens you and makes you better prepared to finish projects.

2. Master your momentum: Shield yourself from distractions by silencing your phone and closing your office door to lock yourself into a work-inspired space. Gather all of your snacks and everything you need before you get started so there's no need to stop. Then focus to finish your project.

3. Small changes yield big impact: Progress happens little by little. Don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by tackling a big project all at once. Break it down into steps and start with number one and work your way down the list.

4. Hone new habits for productivity: Get up 20 minutes earlier to think and plan. Start using a kitchen timer to get more done in less time. The ticking clock will remind you to work expeditiously and stay focused. Write in your journal daily to record your thoughts, ideas and plans. All of these success habits will help you perform better throughout your day.

5. Get fixated on fast action: When you learn something new, plan to implement it right away. The faster you take action, the more likely you are to commit to the change and succeed. Challenge yourself to reach daily action goals. You can use my 5x5 principle, five goals with five action requirements, to get a lot done in a short time.

6. Do the Worst Thing First: Attack the hardest task when your energy is fresh and you give yourself the strongest chance of success. Doing otherwise can have a damaging domino effect.

7. Start Your Day Over at 2 p.m: Combat this by implementing a reboot: “At 2 p.m. every day, assess how much you’ve accomplished, remind yourself of what’s critical, and alter your plan so you can tackle the most important thing,” says Wisnik. In other words, grant yourself a second morning in the middle of the day (complete with your caffeinated beverage of choice). And if there’s a new project that has become high priority, you still have the time and the energy to start it at 2 p.m.

8. Create an Audience: It’s easy to blow things off when your commitment to yourself is the only thing at stake. But make yourself accountable to a friend and suddenly potential embarrassment becomes a powerful motivator. Ask a friend to check in and crack the whip at an appointed time. Then let the fear of disappointment work its dark magic.

9. Race the Clock: Having trouble even beginning a burdensome project? Try the old trick of setting a timer for 10 minutes. Work in a focused, perhaps even frantic manner for that short stretch, and watch what happens. “You may get engrossed and end up working even longer.” Once a sense of satisfaction replaces the dread you felt before, there’s a decent chance you’ll continue."
