Remember the time when we did not know what to do with Ryan's chinese? We ended up engaging a personal tutor for him who comes in twice a week, 1.5 hours each time. That was sometime in August 2008 and it has been 3 months now and he has shown tremendous improvement....so much so that for his final year kindi examination, chinese is the only paper which he got 100%. We are happy with the teacher, Ms Lim and we are also proud of him. 
Initially, we wanted the tutor to come in for a period of 6 months as we thought Ryan should be able to cope / survive on his own thereafter. However, looking at the school syllabus and seeing Ryan improving by leaps and bounds, we decided to continue engaging her. It will put a dent on our finances but I guess this is one of the sacrifies that we are happy to make.
