Primary English Tuition in Hougang

Primary English tuition for Primary 1 to 4 students at 212 Hougang Street 21, a 3-minute walk from Kovan MRT. Classes run on Saturdays at 10am, 12pm and 2pm, taught by our NUS-graduate English tutor. Every class has at most 6 students, lessons are 2 hours, and fees are $80 a lesson. For Primary 5 and 6, see PSLE English Tuition.

Why the early years matter

Grammar, vocabulary and reading habits formed in Primary 1 to 4 carry all the way to the PSLE. A child who reads carefully and writes clear sentences early finds comprehension and composition much easier in Primary 5 and 6.

What we cover

  • Primary 1 and 2: grammar and vocabulary, cloze, word order, short comprehension passages with pictures and posters, writing a few sentences about a set of pictures, and oral practice (reading aloud and talking about a picture).
  • Primary 3: grammar and vocabulary MCQ, grammar cloze, editing, comprehension cloze with a word box, synthesis (joining sentences), comprehension, visual text, and picture composition from four pictures.
  • Primary 4: all the Paper 2 components in the PSLE format at a Primary 4 level, continuous writing (plot, introductions, characters, endings), composition theme packs, and oral practice.

Our own English materials

  • Practice for every component, at each level, each with a tutor answer copy that explains the rule or reason.
  • Writing and composition units with model answers, useful phrases and a planner.
  • Grammar Notes on the topics children find hardest: word class, articles, subject-verb agreement, tenses and more.
  • Oral Practice Sets with reading passages and conversation questions.

Students view their worksheets in their own login once they have been covered in class.

How every lesson works

Each skill follows the Outclass Approach: Understand, Apply, Master, Perform. Writing is marked with feedback your child can act on, and grammar rules are practised until they stick. After every lesson, parents see what was covered, the stage reached and a tutor's note in our parent app.
