We Help P5 & P6 Students
Become Masters of the
English Language Though
Our V3 Methodology.

A learning centre in Singapore that trains students 
in BOTH written & verbal skills. This enables children
to score well for the ENTIRE English Exam Syllabus.
Over the Years, We Have Helped Parents With Kids Who Are: 
Over the Years, We Have Helped Parents With Kids Who Are: 
Weak in the English Language Subject
This is a big concern if unaddressed as it will reduce academic and future opportunities if they do not improve.
Reading More But Not Improving
Some kids read plenty of books, but this does not seem to help them improve their English.
Doing Test Papers But Still Struggle
Some children do test papers regularly, but still struggle with their grasp of the English subject.
Weak in Writing or Comprehension Skills
Some children struggle a lot with writing or comprehension skills, causing them to lose marks during their examinations, especially in making careless grammatical errors.
To Develop a Strong Command of the English Language, You Need More Than Just Writing Skills.
Why Is Our Learning Centre Different? 
We adopt an engaging approach that makes the English Language come ALIVE!
We do this through our V³ Methodology: 
1. Verbal Communication:
We believe that your child's speaking ability closely affects their writing ability. We tend to write what we speak in our minds.
Helping your child to develop strong writing skills must also involve developing their speaking skills.
Only developing your child’s writing skills can be ineffective as kids can easily fall back to their old habits.
During our lesson, your child will be engaged through debate and real-life application of the language. We ensure that kids go beyond just the four-corners of the exam paper.
2. 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 easier to comprehend and understand what they read. This method allows them to answer test papers confidently and quickly without feeling stressed.
3. Vocabulary Distinction
We teach your child techniques to expand their vocabulary and 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.

Ethan
PSLE: 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
PSLE: 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
PSLE: 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."
