1.Primary | PSLE Chinese 小学华文
The Primary School Chinese
Tuition that Sets Up Students for Success
Primary school students
require a basic grasp of Chinese before they can score high grades or ace the
PSLE Chinese examination. At SLC, we recognize that this is achievable only
when your child is learning Chinese using a method optimized for them. Here’s how
we succeeded in nurturing young students with our foolproof, personalized
methods.
Personalized
Learning Process
At SLC, we believe that
every child can hone their Chinese skills. While formal education utilizes a
one-size-fits-all approach, we’ve broken the mould to personalize Chinese
lessons to individual students. Beginning with a free diagnostic assessment to
facilitate immersive learning, we will evaluate your child in 3 key areas:
VAK
LEARNING STYLE
To evaluate their favored
method of learning—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (VAK)—and understand their memorization
style.
BEHAVIOURAL
COMBINATION
Behavioral combination
refers to your child’s motivation and attitude towards learning language and
other subjects at home and school.
LANGUAGE
PROFICIENCY
Beyond hearing, speaking,
reading, and writing skills, SLC also evaluates students’ comprehension and
interpretive capabilities, vocabulary size, and ability to express themselves.

2.English Tuition
Our English Tutors Can
Light Up that Spark!
Our English tutors at SLC
understand that every child learns differently.

learning process that prioritizes their preferences.

teachers can teach at a suitable pace for the students.
With a teaching style that
your child likes and the presence of peers of similar ability, your child will
be happy and interested to learn English.
Your child’s progress is
evaluated regularly, making it easy to know when it’s time to change their
current curriculum or move them up to a higher banded class.
Hybrid
Classes
Your child can be taught by
the best English tutors and take all the advice in the book. But, without a
class that accommodates their schedule, they will still struggle.
SLC realizes how limiting
this simple inconvenience can be.
With our IT-enabled
classrooms, students can conveniently switch between physical and online
tuition classes, no matter your child’s logistical needs.
Now, even with a packed
schedule, your child doesn’t have to miss a day of learning.

we break down comprehension and composition into conceptual modules, teaching
students critical thinking skills.
This modular teaching
approach allows your child to recognize question types, model the correct
answers, and develop a suitable technique to answer them.

Why SLC’s O-Level Chinese
Tuition Class Works

most conducive learning environment, we conduct free diagnostic assessments to
identify secondary students across 3 key areas:
·
Learning style
·
Preferred behavioral
combinations that facilitate learning
·
Current language
proficiency
Our signature diagnostic
test ensures that our students get maximum benefits while engaging critical
thinking skills and nurturing an appreciation for Chinese culture and language.

passionate teachers are effectively bilingual, providing English translations
to help students better comprehend the language. Furthermore, all of SLC’s
Chinese tutors are intricately familiar with the Chinese Language MOE syllabus
and have gone through similar struggles with Chinese learning as local
students. Their valuable expertise and introspection produce a richer teaching
experience, allowing students to work through their hurdles efficiently.
Core
Banded O-Level Chinese Classes
SLC groups students of
similar language skills and learning preferences into banded groups with small
class size, enabling our tutors to teach at a pace that suits each class and
caters to individual needs. Your child’s progress is evaluated regularly,
making it easy to know when it’s time to change their current curriculum or
move them up to a higher banded class. This ensures that students are
constantly challenged in a stimulating but manageable way.
Modular
Breakdown of O-Level Chinese Syllabus
Our Chinese tuition courses
and lesson plans are specially designed to solidify students’ Chinese Language
basics before proceeding to more complex topics. Instead of constant practice
papers and memorising answering techniques, we break Chinese language
comprehension and composition into conceptual modules. This helps students
better comprehend question patterns and strategies for scoring those Chinese
distinctions!
Foundational
& Top-Up Classes
Our experience in the field
has shown that many secondary-level students can only read Chinese language materials
at a Primary 4-6 level.
Thus, before enrolling a
student into the regular syllabus-based tuition groups, we provide foundation
programmes to brush up on the Chinese language knowledge expected of secondary
students:
·
speaking skills
·
essay writing skills
·
comprehension skills
Flexible
Classes
Your child can be taught by
the best tutors and take all the advice in the book. But, without a class that
accommodates their schedule, they will still struggle. SLC realizes how

students can conveniently switch between physical and online lessons, no matter
their logistical needs!

5.Primary | Secondary | IP Higher Chinese
Choose SLC: the Higher
Chinese Tuition Centre that Understands Students’ Unique Challenges
Whether your child began
Higher Chinese from P1 at a SAP school or progressed to Higher Chinese after
review, there are many reasons why Chinese students struggle with this subject.
Our higher Chinese tuition
classes work because our tutors are aware of students’ unique challenges,
guiding them through their anxieties to flourish in Chinese subjects.
Students require sudden,
heightened levels of Chinese proficiency compared to normal Chinese.
The difficulty and advanced
level of the Higher Chinese subject causes them to lose interest.
Students are expected to memorize
an extensive range of phrases and text for high marks on their Chinese papers.
Composition and comprehension
questions require higher-order thinking to address the topic.
Students cannot identify
the preferred way of answering, causing low marks and demoralization.
