Home » SECONDARY CHINESE TUITION (O-LEVEL / HCL O-LEVEL)
EduGrove offers Chinese tuition for Secondary school students, backed by our award-winning teaching methodology.
Secondary schoolwork and exams assess higher-order vocabulary, creative writing, and fluency in Mandarin. However, weekly lessons in school are often not enough for secondary students to practice speaking Mandarin and gain confidence in the language.
EduGrove’s Chinese tuition for secondary students aims to foster an interest in the Chinese language and culture while making lessons both enjoyable and engaging.
99% of EduGrove students improve by at least one grade in the Chinese language, with over 50% failing students progressing to a passing grade.
Our secondary Mandarin enrichment programmes cover skills in writing, reading, speaking, and listening, as well as critical thinking and creative writing skills. We teach in line with the MOE syllabus, as well as O and N level exam rubric.
Students learn effective approaches for composition writing across narrative, argumentative, descriptive, and expository essays.
Students develop language fluency and learn to clearly express opinions through interview roleplay and improvisation drama.
Secondary students learn to read and analyse core text and real-world materials like newspaper articles for key points and subtext.
Lessons cover oral, writing (composition) and reading/listening (comprehension) examinations for year 4 and 5 secondary students. Students are provided with mock exam papers and consistent feedback to build exam readiness.

Storytelling and role-play activities are a natural way for students to use new words and idioms while increasing their ability for creative expression.

Flashcards and word games help students improve visual and verbal recall for learned words and phrases.

Through group discussions around news and current affairs, students learn to support opinions with arguments based on their understanding and reasoning.

We review annual O and N Level papers regularly to provide exam practices for students. Students also receive customised vocabulary lists and homework to reinforce self study.
I enjoy how at the start of every lesson, the teacher gets us to share any recent news we’ve heard/read and this gives us a platform to speak freely therefore helping to boost my confidence in speaking Chinese. During lesson, she always encourages us to attempt to answer any questions asked and makes sure that we understand everything that was taught in the lesson. I love EduGrove because it has helped me improve my Chinese to 77% in the recent exams and increased my confidence when it comes to speaking/learning Chinese.
EduGrove’s unique developmental pedagogy for the Chinese Language was impetus to my child’s academic success. New keywords were taught through role-playing and drama activities in class. Classes are highly engaging with fun interactive games and activities that made lessons interesting. And her results improved from a grade E in her SA2 Chinese results to a grade B for PSLE.
We offer a variety of enrichment classes for every stage.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
