Primary Chinese Tuition
Primary Chinese Tuition in Marine Parade
华文 for Primary 1 to Primary 6 around Marine Parade, Katong, Joo Chiat and Eunos: speaking first, then composition and comprehension.
Why Chinese matters more around here
Three primary schools close to Marine Parade, Tao Nan School, Kong Hwa School and Maha Bodhi School, are Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools, and MOE's school data lists Chinese as the only mother tongue they offer (MOE school data).
In PSLE Chinese the oral alone is 50 of 200 marks, a quarter of the grade: reading a passage (20) and a conversation about a video clip (30) (SEAB). For a child who does not speak Mandarin at home, spoken practice is the part tuition adds most. Request a tutor →
