The widespread (use) of the English language in Singapore is a “very important aspect” of the legacies of colonialism and the late PM Lee, said Heng (Swee Keat). “Today, there are between 1.5 and 2 billion English speakers in the world. And it’s pretty much the language of commerce, diplomacy, and in people-to-people exchanges”

Our Primary English Tuition is available for Primary Levels 1 to 6.
As the MOE syllabus gradually increases in depth and breadth from Primary 1 to 6, our tuition follows suit to ensure that our students are well prepared for their level assessments.
Building a Solid Foundation
Over the years, we notice one phenomenon standing out in the learning of the English language. Those students who did well for English (especially in secondary school) have a rock solid foundation in the language.
The foundation is never built overnight. It invariably started in the students’ primary school years in which they have a conducive environment for learning English both at home and in school. Our tuition programme can help your child to sharpen that edge.
Starting with the End in Mind: PSLE English
Depending on the level and ability of the student, we will gradually integrate the following metacognitive skills into the relevant English practice activities.
- Analyse question requirements
- Discuss the common errors in English
- Make use of checklists for planning and review of personal work
- Self-reflect on strengths and weaknesses in English
