While English isn’t the most spoken native language in the world (Mandarin and Spanish are 1 and 2 respectively), most people will agree that it is certainly the most important.
Whether it is as a first language or not, English remains the most spoken language at almost 1.5 billion speakers. It is the go-to language for tourism, business, technology, and cultivating interpersonal relationships.
When it comes to the Singapore educational system, English is a mandatory language and passing it is crucial to further studies. Or perhaps you are speaking English as a second language and want to improve on the language for professional or personal reasons.
Either way, we at Private Tutor SG can help! Our Singapore English tutors have taught students ranging from Primary School to Junior College ‘A’ Levels. They are also well-versed in teaching students seeking to improve their English language skills or sit for the IELTS/TOEFL exams.
Overview of our English Tutoring Services
From Primary School to Junior College English, our team of dedicated English tutors cover them all!
Primary School English
Our Primary School English language program focuses on building a strong foundation with the language basics.
Always cheerful and encouraging, our team of English tutors will cover grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, and creative writing, all designed to encourage younger students to pursue their interest in the subject.
Reading and writing are both gateways to successful language learning. In addition to the school’s required reading, we’ll also suggest plenty of kid-friendly books that your child can hone their reading skills on. Of course, the result of all these engaging lessons is to ace those PSLE national examinations!
Secondary School English
Tuition for secondary school students will step it up a notch and focus on essays, literary analysis, advanced grammar, vocabulary expansion, and writing skills, all of which will help in mastering other disciplines such as humanities subjects.
The goal?
Not only for students to achieve academic success, but also to have a fun time doing so and love learning English!
Junior College English
English is mandatory for any university entry, which is why the JC English tuition lessons prepare Junior College students for their ‘A’ Levels.
Using advanced language techniques and critical thinking skills, essay writing, complete comprehension, perfect grammar, and an extensive vocabulary will be the main goals.
Secondary School Mother Tongue
Knowledge of a second language is a privilege, and thankfully, the Singapore school syllabus makes us all effectively bilingual. Whether students choose to learn Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, the Mother Tongue is a crucial subject that plays a vital role in teaching and preserving culture and a sense of community. In secondary school, the curriculum becomes more advanced and focuses on higher levels of language proficiency including comprehension, essay writing skills, literature, and cultural appreciation.
Some students might experience difficulties with the more complex language lessons, especially if they speak predominantly English with their family and friends. Our team of experienced language tutors can help bridge knowledge gaps and promote a better understanding of the language and culture!
Business and Professional English
Looking to further your career? English language skills can certainly help! With fluent English, not only will you converse confidently and sound great, but your superior written communication will also shine in your reports, presentations, emails, and overall day-to-day activities.
Conversational English
Non-native speakers who want to further their English language journey can also benefit from our supportive, encouraging tuition lessons to help them practice their written and speaking skills.
Good English has been known to result in better social and professional interactions, paving the way for closer interpersonal business relationships.

Educational Philosophy and Approach
Our English Tuition Educational Philosophy and Approach
Our English tuition approach isn’t simply about English academic grades, but it prioritizes the student’s pace, learning style, and overall needs over everything else.
Each student has a unique way of learning, and the job of our tutors is to identify that and capitalize on that for the most efficient way of teaching.
By creating opportunities for positive reinforcement, our professional English tutors aim to boost the confidence of their students and create a supportive, non-judgmental learning environment.
We encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s English language success and will maintain active communications, regular updates on progress, achievements, and challenges.
Parents can also support their child’s academic efforts by participating in homework and practice exercises, reading, and enrichment activities.
Parents, tutors, and the student will all work together with the primary goal being the child’s English skills and success, not just in school, but also in life.
Why Choose an English Home Tutor?
Sometimes, classroom studies simply aren’t enough. Primary and secondary school classes often have 30 to 40 students, which makes it difficult for the poor teacher to keep track of each individual’s progress and success.
That’s where private English tuition comes in!
