About Us & Teaching Methodology
We are a Singapore-registered company focusing exclusively on interactive and effective online Chinese lesson. We do not have a physical location, allowing your child to attend classes comfortably and safely from home.
Our teaching team is carefully curated and brings years of experience teaching the latest MOE curriculum. Every teacher undergoes rigorous in-house training guided by ex-MOE educators, ensuring they are intimately familiar with the latest MOE syllabus and marking requirements. Furthermore, our curriculum is specially designed by ex-MOE teachers.
Instead of asking students to simply memorise sample answers, our curriculum focuses on mastering answering techniques and building confidence so students can tackle any unfamiliar topic. We teach systematically by topic, using mind-maps to brainstorm concepts, building topic-specific vocabulary, and providing ample practice with instant feedback.
Programmes & Class Structure
We offer programmes from Primary 1 to Secondary 4, including Mainstream and Higher Chinese (HCL). For upper primary and upper secondary (P5, P6, S3 & S4), we offer both Regular and Component-Intensive programmes.
Regular Programme (1 hr 45 min): Class size is capped at 4 students. It covers all essential components: Vocabulary, Oral, Composition, and Comprehension. A typical lesson consists of 40 minutes of vocabulary and 60 minutes of oral/composition/comprehension on a rotating basis.
Intensive Programmes (50 min): Class size is capped at 2 students to ensure maximum attention and ample practice time. These are highly focused booster classes dedicated entirely to a single component (e.g., Oral, Composition, or Comprehension). We also offer 1-to-1 Intensive options.
