It has been half a year of trying. I used to care so much for Jc's Chinese and English! No matter how hard I pushed, even have to encourage the Chinese tutor about Jc's improvement even when to her there is nothing much to talk about! The SA1 lousy result is the final straw, the tutor wanted to call it quit.
Jc's Chinese is very challenging for me. She has no clue of how the Chinese structure should form and she did not understand the meaning of most the words she read. Ever since K1, with the recommendation of her kiddy teacher, I enrolled her to Chinese language school to improve her Chinese to proficiency level.
4 years of bringing her to enrichment school, finally, even the Language School teacher also recommended that I should get a 1 to 1 coaching for her. I tried getting the teacher to recommend and also get her school teacher to recommend, at the meantime, at primary 1 and 2, she always say that she does not understand her school Chinese class teaching. She has problem understanding what people is talking to her in mandarin too.
Last December, after asking Su to check the classified for me and no result from there too, I finally went to the Google to search for Chinese tutor. After a long list of searching, Lord leads me to this group of tutors that pool together their sources. There were 2 Chinese tutors, one local ex-teacher and a China teacher. Lord instructed me to engage the China teacher. She seem to have some good reviews.
December, the coaching started, the teacher was on fire, giving her best to coach Jc. However, when she saw that Jc was not responsive, and saw that Jc's 2nd term oral test failed by 1 mark, she threw her towel! I told her that it's Lord leading me to engage her! She is Christian too. I told her that she has improved Jc, from totally don't understand her class Chinese lesson to now can understand. That's a great improvement!
Due to Jc knowing little Chinese and this China tutor, Sq, know little English, it's like a duck talking to a chicken! The teacher felt hopeless, Jc felt clueless. I previously bought Jc a Chinese dictionary, with Lord's leading, I bought a Chinese-English dictionary! Sq also has a digital Chinese-English dictionary and with the Chinese text explanation book, they continue the lesson.
Even though I see no result from tests, I was surprised that Jc from the months of listening to teacher Sq, finally speaks with China essence Chinese to me! She could finally understands her class teacher! She also begin watching Korea Chinese drama and even learn to listen and see the Chinese words to understand the story!
With the SA1 Chinese failed by 1 mark, teacher Sq throw the towel again. But through meditation, Lord said He retard Jc to show His Glory. He said He will open Jc wisdom in June. Praise the Lord! As 1st June came, I see a change in Jc, suddenly, understanding Chinese become a lot easier. Teacher Sq was still not convinced. She threw to me to teach Jc the assignments work as I could explain in English to Jc.
I told teacher Sq that Lord wanted her to pray for Jesus to lead her in teaching Jc. She has not been trusting the Lord, but using her own know how, which is good, to teach. But only Lord will know how to talk effectively to a person! Finally, in June, she agrees to pray for Lord's leading! Hallelujah!
This has been going on for the past 3 weeks and teacher Sq is looking at Jc's mistakes in the assignments to judge her. However, last Saturday, I told teacher Sq that I have not been coaching Jc, most of the assignment sections Jc did herself, only the comprehension open questions, I translated for her the passage and she did it herself.
As I went into the room to see the coaching, I could see teacher Sq still judging Jc on her error. When I told her that Jc had done the assignment test all by herself and I only translated for her the last passage, the teacher finally looked at Jc in good opinion! Jc used to clueless with most of what she did and have been guessing her work. Finally, she is doing with understanding, she got most of her assignment test section correct, only a few wrongs due to don't understand the feelings of the word. Glory Glory!
No amount of human work could create good result in a kid! Only when Lord touches Jc with His Grace, everything became easy. Glory to all that Lord has done on Jc. If you know how Lord retard Jc growth, you will know how trying it was for me. As her same age group of peers are growing in maturity, Jc remains the innocence, blur kid. Even boy that used to play with her, grow in maturity and their results had improved. As for Jc, she still remain the same. She knows no evil and is kind to many, even to those who take her things to be theirs. She played with kids a lot younger than her!
However, with Lord sudden push of her maturity and understanding and wisdom, suddenly, everything falls into place. I am glad that with Lord's Grace, she and Su's 2 sons completed their holiday homework long before the school starts. Lord gave them the willingness to do it! Glory Glory! Mummy just have to push a bit for them to get them to move the wheel and it becomes moving freely. Glory to Lord Jesus! Only He can and only He could! Only He will and He is willing. We just have to believe and wait patiently for the time to show His Glory! Glory Glory! Amen Amen!
Abba father, thank You for the plan you have on my life and my family members life. Glory that the Glory of Jesus are with us. As each passing day, we just have to be patient and trusting on Your Good! In the right time, for your Glory, the flower will surely shines in Your Glory! Amen Amen!
