When he first arrived at Aiwen, Xiao Zhe was extremely shy. Whenever the teacher asked him to read, he would instinctively lower his voice. He understood the questions and could answer them, but he didn’t dare to speak up. This made his parents both worried and heartbroken: “He can do it, he just doesn’t dare to speak — what should we do?”
In Aiwen’s premium small-class setting (2–6 students), teachers first helped him find confidence in a safe, supportive environment. Every small attempt to speak was met with gentle encouragement. Each reading session began with the teacher reading with him, followed by him repeating, and eventually reading a sentence in front of his classmates.
Gradually, he began lifting his head, making eye contact, and even wanting to read passages on his own. The first time he raised his hand voluntarily to answer a question, his classmates applauded — and he smiled brightly.
Three months later, he transformed from a child who “didn’t dare to speak” into the little presenter of the class — eager to read, confident in expressing himself, and happy to share.
In the parent’s feedback:
“Thank you, Aiwen, for helping my child become confident again and fall back in love with Chinese.”
This is the kind of growth Aiwen values most — not just improved scores, but the renewed light in a child’s eyes.
一个原本不敢开口的小男孩，在精品小班里慢慢敢说、敢读，最终成为华文课上最积极的孩子之一。
刚来到爱文时，小哲是个非常害羞的孩子。每次老师请他朗读，他都会下意识地把声音压得很低。明明听得懂，也能回答，却总是不敢开口。这让家长既心疼又担忧：“孩子不是不会，只是不敢说，该怎么办？”
在爱文的精品小班（2–6 人）里，老师先引导他在安全、被看见的环境中找到自信。每一次小小的开口，都用温柔的回应鼓励他；每一次朗读，老师都会先陪读，再让他跟读，最后给他机会站在同学面前读一句。
渐渐地，小哲开始抬头、开始看着老师、开始自己想读一段。他第一次主动举手回答问题时，同学们都为他鼓掌，而他也笑得特别开心。
三个月后，他从一个“不敢开口的孩子”，变成华文课里最喜欢朗读、最敢表达、最会分享的小小主持人。
家长在反馈里写道：
“谢谢爱文，让孩子变得自信，又重新爱上华文。”
这就是爱文最珍惜的孩子的成长——不是分数，而是孩子眼里重新亮起的光。
