Make The Best Out Of Your Child’s School Holiday!

Are you searching for a Fun Learning Experience this School Holiday? Look no further! Come along with EduGrove as we embark on an exciting journey to improve MANDARIN THROUGH PLAY!

The school holidays are important breaks for your children to unwind, relax, and recharge in preparation for the rigors of school. At the same time, it’s the best opportunity to work on their weaknesses or boost their mandarin ability in just a short span of time. Let your child experience all these with EduGrove as we embark on an exciting journey to improve MANDARIN THROUGH PLAY! Give your child a head start this school break with our myriad of invigorating activities specially prepared for every specific level.

Every holiday, we introduce new themes to make the camps more amusing and interesting! We prepare unique activities to bring out every child’s creativity while being immersed in a Mandarin environment. As our holiday programmes have longer durations than our regular classes, students can do more games and drama that we are unable to do much in regular class timings.

Strong Teacher-Parent Communication

Through updates and feedback after each class, teachers work hand-in-hand with parents to ensure their child’s positive progress. We track the progress of each student, cultivating their strengths and identifying areas for improvement. Regular evaluation allows teachers to adjust the goals for each student according to their learning style.

Voted 7 years in a row as the best Chinese enrichment centre in Singapore!

EduGrove has helped thousands of students not only achieve success in their Chinese grades but also fall in love with the language through our simple yet revolutionary approach. Voted by parents annually as the best Chinese enrichment centre in Singapore and having won the Industry Star Promising SME 500 Award, EduGrove is one of the leading providers for Chinese enrichment lessons.

One-stop solution for every age and needs!

As the only Chinese enrichment centre that offers specialised classes for students from playgroup to secondary, EduGrove’s team of specialist curriculum writers and teachers are experts in helping every student from each age group achieve their full potential in the Chinese language. 

If your child requires something a little different from the norm, be it to focus on composition writing or one-to-one tutoring, we are able to tailor a specific plan to suit their needs.

Small Group Sizes and Spacious Classrooms

We aim for big successes but keep our class sizes small. With a maximum of 12 students per group, teachers are able to pay close attention to the needs and development of every student in their care. Each classroom has a dedicated area for drama and games, as well as desk-bound activities. Teaching takes place in spacious, light-filled studios, equipped with state-of-the-art learning tools, enabling students of all ages and levels to play, discover, and thrive in a truly conducive learning environment.

Learn Chinese while developing 21st century skills!

Not only do we help students ace their Chinese examinations, we also develop their 21st century competencies like creativity, critical thinking, and presentation skills that are crucial for them to thrive in their future tertiary education and adult professional lives.

Our Teachers – They’re The Best!

EduGrove’s way of conducting Chinese lessons requires a very special breed of Chinese teacher. They are dedicated educators focused on meeting the needs of every class as a whole and every individual student in their care. Essentially they take on the role of form teachers. Working closely with parents, EduGrove teachers are concerned as much with the holistic development of their students as they are with nurturing and improving their Chinese studies.

Our teachers are also able to communicate with English-speaking parents and work closely with them to improve their child’s Chinese language abilities.

After passing through a rigorous selection process, these already experienced teachers are put through months of training to teach in the EduGrove way, ensuring your child’s educational journey with us will be nothing short of outstanding.

Proven track record to ace your PSLE and O-Levels!

EduGrove has assembled a team of industry experts to specially design a set of curriculum that combines  with our award-winning methodology to ensure students excel in their national exams. 

Covering all commonly     tested keywords, oral, comprehension, composition and listening comprehension, EduGrove students are confident and well-prepared when it comes to taking on their PSLE and O-Levels!

Effective EduGrove methodology that gets results

We use drama, word games, and creative activities interactively not only to excite, motivate, and inspire, but more importantly to coax the students to vocalise and apply the keywords and phrases taught. These dynamic learning tools also help students remember more effectively.

Learning at EduGrove is Fun, Engaging, and Effective – at every level!

Learning a language doesn’t have to be a chore. Research has shown that children learn best through play and that’s why our classes are designed to get away from the traditional rote-learning way of learning Chinese. Our curriculum is designed to ignite every student’s desire to learn, which means every activity is designed to be FUN!

Instead of focusing on the tedious memorisation of keywords, we use drama and word games in all classes from Preschool through to Primary and Secondary to help students remember lesson content in a more FUN, ENGAGING, and EFFECTIVE way!
