EduGrove offers Chinese enrichment classes for Primary students designed to complement school classes and provide a solid foundation for academic excellence. Each week’s lesson focuses on a different component of the exam each week: Oral, Composition Writing, Main Paper and Comprehension.
As your child moves onto the upper Primary level, EduGrove prepares your child for their first major examination through the PSLE Preparation programme, where the lessons centre around the PSLE Chinese language examination
Building a strong foundation in Mandarin early on will help primary students follow school lessons with ease and develop a genuine love for the language. Our curriculum is completely aligned with the MOE syllabus from P1 to P6.
Creative writing in Mandarin is the gold standard for Chinese composition exams at the Primary level. At EduGrove, our composition writing classes focus on helping students exercise their storytelling skills using a breadth of Chinese vocabulary, idioms, and clever sentence structure.
The goal of our enrichment classes is to give Primary students the skills and familiarity to tackle composition exams with confidence.
We believe that creating a Mandarin-rich environment is an excellent way to tackle the challenges of learning Chinese. As students are exposed to Chinese culture, conversations, and concepts, they develop a natural affinity for the language and start to use it more naturally, whether at home, in school, or with friends.

My favourite teacher is my Chinese teacher from EduGrove. She is very kind and has supported me a lot. I like her because she helps me in Chinese and she does not get angry with me, even if I make a mistake.
My results improved from C to A in my PSLE within 6 months! I became more confident in conversing in Chinese with my teachers and friends. I am able to understand more in school after learning new words each week in EduGrove. We also play games related to the lesson of the week and I […]
EduGrove makes learning more fun for students by learning through exciting activities, and they are able to adapt better.

Nisha enjoys coming to the class. She always comes to the class happily and love to learn with her peers. She’s having fun with EduGrove’s teaching method especially during the drama sessions. Nisha enjoys the sing-along and drama sessions very much as she learnt the name of fruits and body parts.
I joined EdugGove in P6, a few months before PSLE. Before I joined EduGrove, I was scoring a C grade in Chinese. After I joined EduGrove to prepare for my PSLE, I scored an A grade. Now I am in Sec 3 and I’m scoring consistent As and Bs. I enjoy the games we play […]
Both my children attended EduGrove since kindergarten for my son and primary school for my daughter. They fell in love with EduGrove and refused to try other centres after trying a few Chinese enrichment centres earlier. Despite my daughter initially finding Mandarin extremely difficult and lacking interest, she eventually scored an A for her PSLE […]
Circle time is an opportunity for children to converse in Mandarin, using the different words and phrases learnt to express themselves. Through this activity, students not only become more comfortable practising speaking the language, but they are also able to hone their presentation and listening skills.
New vocabulary is introduced using Active Learning Games as students are coaxed through play to verbalise flash cards while they learn the meaning and pronunciation of the words. Learning through play is not only fun, but it is also more engaging and makes learning more effective.
Role-Playing and Improvisational Drama are educational techniques used to coax students to apply the keywords learnt into their natural dialogues. Students are immersed in unscripted imaginary scenarios that challenge them to think on their feet. Ultimately, it cements important commonly tested keywords into the long-term memory
All teachers at EduGrove have at least a Bachelor’s degree in Teaching or related fields.
Our teachers are fluent in both Mandarin and English, and can bridge the gap between understanding when new Chinese words are being taught.
Our Chinese enrichment classes are held once a week:
In the event of missed classes due to illness or unavailability, we can arrange for make-up classes (subject to availability).
Yes, our Primary Chinese enrichment classes are aligned with the MOE syllabus. We go beyond the basic level of teaching in school classrooms with targeted instruction on PSLE exam strategies, including time management and mock exam practices.
Our teachers structure classes around commonly tested topics like comprehension, sentence construction, and creative writing to help students become familiar with exam formats.
We assess student progress through quizzes, tests, and classroom participation. Our Mandarin teachers regularly review the results of these tests to identify what students are familiar with, where they are excelling, and where they are struggling.
Along with regular assessments, we also use games and drama activities to assess the application of the keywords and concepts learnt by the students. When students participate in these types of activities, they feel more involved and creative and are able to apply their learning.
We can accept students mid-term for our classes, depending on availability. We will assess your child’s language level and place them in a class suitable for them. Your child will receive extra support from our teachers to get back on track in the classroom.
Our Primary programmes stand out from other Chinese Enrichment Centres through the creation of a Mandarin-rich environment, supported by positive learning experiences.
Traditional rote learning and memorisation do not work for learning Mandarin in the long run. This is why we focus on teaching foundational Mandarin language skills that carry students through primary school and the rest of their learning journey.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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!
