Your child seems to be shy or embarrassed to
speak Chinese
Your child is barely passing the subject
He or she struggles with writing Chinese
You get your child to watch Chinese shows but they don't seem to improve
You recognise that it's important for your child to have some level of competency for future opportunities but you’re not sure how to help him or her improve
You've sent him or her for Chinese tuition before but you don't see any improvement
Today, Learning Chinese Goes Beyond Just Memorisation. It's Important to Make It Fun & Interactive So Students Will Develop a Strong Interest for Chinese.
We've designed our classes differently so kids enjoy and look forward to classes instead of feeling dreadful.
We adopt an I-S-W teaching methodology:
Interactive Activities: When it comes to learning Chinese, we recognise that it's important to have engaging classes. Students will enjoy learning while they are in the process of trying to improve their speaking or writing.
During classes, we use games, question and answer activities and other activities that create healthy competition amongst students in class. You'll be surprised at how much it'll accelerate their improvement by making the learning experience lively.
Speaking: Your child’s Chinese speaking ability significantly affects their writing. Children tend to write what they speak.
Therefore, students will participate in story-telling which will help them to strengthen their Chinese sentence structure and speaking confidence. By reinforcing their speaking sentence structure, it'll also positively influence the way they write.
Also, to further grow their speaking confidence, students will be involved with interactive conversations with other students in class. These are activities that can never be done in a private 1-on-1 tuition environment.
All these speaking activities will also help students to score well for listening comprehension and the oral examination.
Writing & Reading: We teach students specific writing techniques that they can use to write fluently during test papers or major exams. Students will also be taught techniques to help them to remember Chinese words and idioms easily.
They will learn about the association or visualisation technique in order to help them remember Chinese characters. As they find it easier to remember Chinese words, they will also find it much easier to write them out during examinations.
And as they are able to recall Chinese words, they will also find it easier to read as they are able to identify and recognise various Chinese words.

Over the Years, We Have Helped Parents With Kids Who Are:
Weak in the English Language Subject
This is a big concern as it'll cut off academic opportunities if they don't improve.
Reading More But Not Improving
There are kids who read more books but it doesn't seem to help them with the language.
Done Test Papers But Still Struggle
There are also children who have done a few test papers but still struggle with their work.
Weak With Writing or Comprehension Skills
Some children struggle a lot with writing or when it comes to comprehension skills which causes them to lose out on many marks. Sometimes even making careless grammatical errors.
To develop a strong command of the English Language,
it's more than just writing skills.
Why Is Our Learning Centre Different?
We adopt a holistic approach that makes the English Language come ALIVE!
We do this through our V³ Methodology:
Verbal Communication:
Helping them with their speaking skills leads to strong writing skills. How they speak is closely linked to how they write.
If only writing skills are focused, they will soon fall back to their old habits and their results will go back to where they were.
Visual Writing & Comprehension
We give children the ability to write well through various writing techniques that will impress exam markers. These are writing techniques that will enable their writing to be outstanding and memorable.
We also focus on helping children to develop critical thinking skills which allows them to develop strong comprehension skills.
We show children our breakdown method so kids find it much easier to comprehend what they read. By doing so, it allows them to quickly answer test papers confidently without feeling stressed.
Vocabulary Distinction
We teach children techniques to expand their vocabulary. Techniques to be able to become masters of the English Language.
They will know how to independently become a master of reading vocabulary, writing vocabulary, listening vocabulary and speaking vocabulary.
Through Our V³ Methodology...
Your child will be able to excel for the ENTIRE English Exam as opposed to only
doing well for 1 out of the 4 test papers.
This is the current Examination Format specifically for P5 & P6 students:

What Some of Our Students Have Said:
Gabriel
B -> A*
Singapore Sports School (Formerly at Montfort Junior School)
"PSA has helped me to embrace the language and develop a passion for the subject. They patiently taught me English and never gave up on me, even if I did badly on a test. They taught one the various strategies to tackle questions in paper 2, and also taught me actionable techniques to stand out In paper 1 and the Oral component."
Aloysius
B -> A*
Catholic High (Formerly at Catholic High School Primary)
"PSA's Interesting and engaging approach to teaching the English language did wonders for my confidence and command of the English language. They also helped me prepare for all my English exams very well. I found myself not feeling worried or anxious the night before my prelims and PSLE which helped me to achieve top grades for my paper 2, situational and continuous writing as well as stimulus-based conversations."
"Not only is PSA able to clarify our doubts but also aids us in our mastery. Students can always seek to find out more on areas that they may potentially be tested on. PSA will discuss with us possible ways & supporting examples to approach these potential exam questions."

Ethan
A -> A*
Catholic High (Formerly at Monfort Junior School)
"The learning experience was very enjoyable! Everything, from essay-writing, paper 2, to stimulus-based conversation, was taught really well. PSA helped me greatly as it was very easy to understand the questions after he explained them. The tuition environment was also very fun and conducive, which enabled me to learn effectively. They taught me a wide scope of the english language yet was able to focus on my weak areas which allowed me to score well for my exams."
Jonas
A -> A*
St Joseph's Institution (Formerly at Holy Innocent's Primary School)
"The learning experience was very effective in helping me to further appreciate what I was studying. Unlike other centres, PSA makes an effort to teach according to the students interest, making the student more keen to study. By constantly motivating me to not give up and continue to strive for excellence even though I was having much difficulty in my studies. PSA served as a catalyst for me to change my mindset and continue to improve myself."
Frank
A -> A*
Raffles Institution (Formerly at Holy Innocent's Primary School)
"I'm a more visual learner and PSA would write out sample paragraphs and responses for essays for me to refer to. They would also go the extra mile to prepare me comprehensively and holistically (written and oral exams). If you would like to develop exponentially in both soft and hard competencies, PSA is definitely instrumental."
