TESTIMONIALS
From Parents
“I would like to say a big Thank You to
Hua Hsia Chinese School for teaching
my daughter Persephone YouLin Jenkins
from the age of 2 in the Nursery class
to taking her GCSE last summer,
and achieving her A* in Chinese. As
a non-Chinese speaking family, all
tribute goes to her and the school, in
particular, Katja and all her teachers
throughout the 12 years she’s been at the
school. She’s had great fun at the school
participating in all the many activities
arranged by the school and the Friends
of Hua Hsia over the years. I’m glad
to say Persephone has decided to carry
on with her Chinese studies this year.
Thank you and Well Done Hua Hsia!”

“When I was told about the grade my
daughter Monica has gained in her AS
Chinese exam, I was elated. Although
the teacher Senji has predicted she
will get grade A, I was not entirely
convinced for the Chinese examination
is not easy, especially for children who
are brought up in non-Chinese speaking
environments. Monica has been with the
school since Nursery until now where she
is studying for her Chinese A Level.
From students
She has enjoyed the lessons in the past
and is still enjoys learning Chinese.
Looking back, I still could remember
my little 3 year old girl holding my
hand attending the first lesson with
Jenny Sing, the nursery teacher. The
happy, fun-loving Jenny is dedicated
in teaching the children to learn the
language through singing, playing and
recognising the characters. These form
the foundation for children to have an
interest in learning the language.
The teachers in Hua Hsia Chinese
School are dedicated and committed
in teaching the children to learn the
beautiful but rather difficult language.
The children here learn to read and
write Chinese, at the same time been
taught about the Chinese culture. The
Principal of Hua Hsia, Katja, has run
the school for ten years now. Her hard
work and dedication has made Hua Hsia
Chinese Tuition what it is today. She is
constantly introducing new ideas to make
learning Chinese easy and fun. She is
also very keen in introducing Chinese
tradition, culture to the parents and
students by organising events during
Chinese Festivals. I am grateful to Katja
and all the teachers for their dedication,
commitment and hard work. Keep up the
good work!”
“Bonjour! Je m’appelle Mei Ling. Je suis
française, j’ai seize ans. Lorsque j’avais
douze ans j’ai commencé à apprendre le
mandarin avec l’école chinoise de Hua
Hsia. A ce moment-là, dans ma classe il y
avait des élèves de dix, treize et quinze
ans. Puisque je suis française, je ne peux
pas pratiquer le chinois chez moi, mais
les autres élèves de ma classe ont toujours
été chinois ou Malaisiens, et pouvaient
pratiquer le chinois chez eux. Même si
apprendre le chinois est parfois difficile,
dans l’avenir c’est un super atout et c’est
très pratique. Les leçon
