Primary Chinese Tuition in Novena
Small-group Chinese tuition for P1–P6 students at Novena Regency, with a maximum of 5 students per primary class. Our 1.5-hour lessons build reading, writing, listening and speaking skills through structured practice aligned with the MOE syllabus.
For younger learners, we strengthen character recognition, sentence writing and oral confidence. In upper primary, students practise organising composition ideas, finding evidence in comprehension passages and expressing answers clearly. Teachers adapt materials to each child’s learning needs.
Parents receive regular feedback so practice at home has a clear focus. Explore the level-by-level programme below, or book a free trial to discuss your child’s needs and a suitable class.
