Why families stay

What Is Mother Tongue Chinese?

A dedicated tutor, a plan around school, and patient practice - not generic worksheets.

  1. 01

    Speaking a Class Cannot Give

    A full hour of conversation weekly. In a class of thirty, a student may speak for two minutes.

  2. 02

    For Students Who Do Not Speak It at Home

    Extremely common in Singapore, and it needs listening and speaking rather than more written drilling.

  3. 03

    Matched to the Level Sat

    Standard, Higher or B-syllabus - taught to the standard that actually applies.

Questions parents ask

Common Questions, Answered

Can't find what you need? Our academic advisors are available across Singapore time zones.

My child does not speak Chinese at home. Can they still do well?+
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we work with. It calls for more listening and speaking rather than more worksheets, and one-to-one sessions suit that exactly.
Do you prepare for the oral examination?+
Yes, every session. The oral carries real marks at PSLE and O-Level and is usually where the most reachable improvement sits.
What is Higher Chinese and should my child take it?+
A more demanding syllabus offered to stronger candidates, and it carries weight in some school admissions. Whether it suits depends on your child's current standard and overall load - we will give you a straight view.
Do you teach the B-syllabus?+
Yes. The B-syllabus exists so Mother Tongue does not block a student's progression, and we support students taking it without treating it as a lesser route.
