English plays an important role in our daily lives, contributing to both academic success and everyday conversations. More than 48% of people in Singapore speak English at home, making it a key part of living in our diverse society.
We believe that learning vocabulary and grammar is the first step to becoming good communicators. That's why we offer English classes to help students improve their vocabulary and grammar so they can communicate better.
Our Upper Primary course is specifically designed to match the Singapore Ministry of Education’s syllabus. It focuses on the basics of English to help students succeed in school and beyond. The course also prepares students for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), which is an important step in their education. Afterall, the best way to build a rewarding learning journey is by understanding the first steps!
Why vocabulary and grammar matter
Good communication begins with mastering appropriate vocabulary and grammar and understanding its proper application. When students can grasp challenging texts and use grammar effectively, they feel more confident sharing their ideas.
Here’s how our focus on vocabulary and grammar helps students
- Enhanced comprehension and expression: By expanding their vocabulary and understanding how sentences function, students enhance their ability to understand difficult texts and express their thoughts clearly.
- Improved confidence: With a strong understanding of vocabulary and grammar, students feel more confident when speaking or writing, whether preparing for the PSLE or in everyday conversations.

How we make learning engaging
Learning shouldn’t feel like hard work. Our approach to making lessons more interesting is built on exercises designed to inspire and engage our students:
- Interactive scenarios: Acting out real-life situations, like ordering food at a hawker centre or talking about PSLE topics, helps students develop and build confidence using English in everyday life.
- Multimedia resources: Videos, quizzes and group discussions keep lessons easy and relatable, encouraging students to learn more and remember what they’ve learned.
- Engaging texts: We incorporate relevant international and Singaporean themes into our lessons to help students deepen their understanding of the world.
