My daughter was, until today, being taught swimming privately at our condominium by a female teacher from Nemo Academy in Kuala Lumpur. Each swimming lesson my daughter was accompanied by a nanny, so she was never alone (thank goodness). I have several concerns.
Firstly, I don't believe the teachers are properly qualified. My daughter doesn't appear to made any progress despite many lessons, and in fact, seems sometimes afraid of the water. The teachers methods are unprofessional and indicate a dislike of children that shows through each lesson.
Secondly, the female teacher alters the schedule without informing parents. When questioned over sending an SMS for another change in timetable today this particular teacher reacted with appalling and unwarranted rudeness, as if it was not the right of the parent to be informed. My question is why?
Thirdly, the female teacher was accompanied throughout each lesson by a male (presumably her husband) who was watching intently throughout the entire lesson. Inappropriately.
I have no wish to make waves, only to vent my frustration at wasting money on useless teaching. I would highly discourage any parent from using this academy for teaching their children. There are major concerns here with this team.
