How We Teach (First Principles + Fencing Method)
First Principles: We start with the “why” behind every rule (e.g., subject–verb agreement, pronoun reference, cohesion), then build patterns your child can reuse across exam contexts. Understanding replaces rote memorisation.
Fencing Method: We “fence” a simple sentence, then add one idea at a time—adjectival phrases, adverbials, clauses, and figurative devices—so students feel how power and precision scale with structure. This scaffolding turns hesitant writers into fluent ones.
Small-Group Advantage (3-Pax): Each learner receives targeted feedback on reading, writing, and oral tasks. Tutors annotate scripts line-by-line, then set retrieval-based micro-drills to lock in gains.
Curriculum by Level (Primary 1–6)
Primary 1–2: Foundations
- Phonics to fluency; high-frequency words; sentence building; oral confidence.
- Short functional writing (notes, captions); beginning narrative sense (beginning–middle–end).
Primary 3–4: Expanding Control
- Paragraph cohesion (connectives, pronoun chains, reference words).
- Situational writing (audience, purpose, context).
- Reading strategies (skimming/scanning; inference ladders).
Primary 5: PSLE Bridge Year
- Advanced grammar (tense consistency, reported speech, clauses).
- Composition arcs (hook–complication–resolution) and “Show, Don’t Tell.”
- Timed comprehension with annotation routines; listening and oral rubrics.
Primary 6: Exam Readiness
- Full-length paper simulations; examiner-style marking and error logs.
- Precision vocabulary and sentence combining for higher-band scripts.
- Oral stimulus conditioning and listening traps under time.
(We map all units to the current MOE syllabus and PSLE formats via SEAB.)

Frequently Asked Questions (Primary English in Punggol)
Do you follow the latest MOE syllabus?
Yes. Our scope and assessment formats are mapped to the current MOE Primary English syllabus and the PSLE English examination.
How are 3-pax classes different from bigger groups?
Students receive line-by-line script feedback, targeted micro-drills, and more oral practice time—impossible in large classes.
My child reads well but writes weakly. Where do you start?
We run a diagnostic, then use our Fencing Method to build sentence power, cohesion, and idea development—then scale to full compositions.
How soon can we see improvement?
For most students attending weekly and doing assigned micro-drills, you’ll see clearer writing and fewer grammar errors within 4–6 weeks; larger grade jumps typically follow after one full term of consistent practice.
Do you provide mock exams?
Yes. P5–P6 students sit timed papers modelled on PSLE formats, with scripts returned, annotated, and discussed in conference.
Can we try a class first?
We offer consultations to place your child accurately (trial lessons available depending on 3-pax capacity).
