Is your child struggling with PSLE Chinese despite putting in effort? The problem might not be technique — it might be mastery of textbook vocabulary.

Introducing our PSLE Chinese Vocabulary Revision Programme — specially designed for Primary 6 students with weaker foundations. We systematically rebuild vocabulary from Primary 3 to Primary 6, helping students understand, retain, and apply key words with confidence.

Many students struggle with Oral, Comprehension, and Composition not because they don’t know how to answer — but because they don’t fully understand the words. We fix this at the root.

✨ What your child will gain:
• Stronger vocabulary foundation for all exam components
• Proven strategies for Paper 2 (语文运用 & 短文填空)
• Ability to make smart answer choices — even when unsure
• Improved confidence in Oral & better expression in Composition

This programme is carefully curated by our teachers for students who need that extra boost to perform.

📍 Class Details
Location: Huá @ United Square ( #03-25/26)
Day: Wednesdays
Time: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Duration: Weekly, until PSLE

To many primary school children, Oral, Comprehension and Composition form the dreaded trio of Chinese assessments.

It’s rarely just one area that children struggle with. More often than not, a child who is weak in Oral also finds Compre and Compo challenging. This is because all three components test the same core abilities:
the ability to understand Chinese clearly, and the ability to express thoughts confidently in Chinese.

Our March Holiday Workshop for Primary 4 students is designed to address this root problem—not through rote drilling, but through guided practice that builds real comprehension and expression skills.

Through carefully scaffolded activities, students will learn how to:
- understand passages and questions more accurately
- organise ideas logically
- express themselves more clearly in both spoken and written Chinese

By strengthening these two core skills, children gain tools that support all three exam components — Oral, Compre and Compo — giving them greater clarity, confidence and control in Chinese.

Give your child the opportunity to strengthen their Chinese foundation during the March holidays — and turn Oral, Compre and Compo from a source of stress into skills they can manage with confidence.

Limited slots available for our March Holiday P4 Workshop.

👉 Register now by whatsapping us to secure your child’s place and help them build clarity, confidence and competence in Chinese.
