What the expatriates say |
Liv Carlssorn, age 3 at work
Erika
Carlssorn, Swede
"When we arrived in
Malaysia, I didn't realize that my daughter would be expected to be fluent
in English to enroll at the International School. On the recommendation
of a friend I sent her to The Victoria Readers.
I was amazed that after only a few lessons, Liv was able to not only read
but also speak English as well. I later sent my younger daughter, age
3.
We are really pleased with their progress. At a recent assessment test
back home in Sweden, Liv was found to be a year ahead of her age group
level.
I would readily recommend The Victoria Readers to any expatriate whose
child wishes to learn English. I would say it is of an international standard". |
Anne
Vitry, French
"I peeped into
his room one night upon hearing some unfamiliar sounds and was pleasantly
surprised to see Charles trying to read on his own after a couple of lessons
at the Centre".

What the parents say |
Monica, mother of Aleesha 3 years old from Mumbai.
I have seen all my 5 nephew and nieces growing up with the Victoria Reader class. What impress me the most is, the systematic approach it has to reading. I have come across many different products which claim to get your child to read, but there is nothing like TVR. VR kit is unique in sense that, it lays the foundation very strongly and I do sincerely believe the kids are ahead of the peers at least by a year. Wish we had these centers in India. |

without guidance and speak English fluently. Her kindergarten teacher
says that she can construct sentences and even take down dictation". |
