English Enrichment Centre for 
Students in Singapore

All our teachers at our English enrichment centres for kids are trained to deliver lessons in an engaging and creative manner. Our teachers instill critical thinking through open discussions in conjunction with our structured curriculum. Teachers undergo in-service teacher training quarterly for topics such as latest MOE changes in either syllabus or exam format, changes in My English School materials, enhancing teaching skills for specific language components and others.

Our teachers are carefully selected based on their qualifications, experience, knowledge as well as their ability and willingness to work with young learners.

We understand the concerns you have about your child’s progress. Our teachers will monitor and record the learning progress of each individual student throughout the term. The findings will be shared with parents at Parent-Teacher Meetings or through an informal short discussion before or after class if time permits. In addition, at any time you may ask our education advisers to schedule an appointment for you to speak to the teacher. 

A replacement session can be arranged subject to our Terms and Conditions. Arrangements have to be made through our education advisers.

Please see our Centre Locations page for our hours of operation. See our Course Calendar for dates when we are closed for course holidays and public holidays. Changes to the calendar will be posted in the Announcements section.

The My English Reading Programme has its roots in the reading programme promoted by Rudolf Flesch. The research that has been done since then in the field of linguistics culminates in the “Reading First Program”, which is widely promoted by the U.S. Department of Education. Our reading programmes consist of the same key elements as the ones that were the result of the scientific-research based report (that reviewed more than 100,000 studies on reading):

• Phonemic awareness (blending, segmentation, and identification and manipulation of sounds in words)
• Decoding (Phonics)
• Reading fluency
• Vocabulary development
• Reading comprehension strategies

Here's what makes our English class unique in the Singaporean context:

• Reading and understanding (comprehension)
• Efficient and age-appropriate materials for young learners
• Materials that broaden a child’s field of experience
• Integration with the My English Primary Programme and the required learning outcomes defined by the Ministry of Education

Our reading classes are ability-based programmes mainly catered for preschoolers. Students are placed in classes according to their ability and promoted to the next level when they meet the required learning outcomes. This approach ensures that we follow the students' speed rather than the traditional age-based approach. Our teachers monitor our student’s performance and progress closely so as to make recommendations when necessary. 

Our Primary programme is a year-long programme that guides students through a meticulous process of learning in their respective levels. They will gain the skills and nuances needed and be encouraged to apply critical thinking and independent learning.

Each child is different. Two children of the same age may have different skill levels/learning needs based on the influences from family, exposure in pre-school, their social environment and more. We recognise that students of the same age may have different learning needs.

Our reading programme has four progressive courses and each course teaches different skills. The assessment ensures that a child is placed at the most appropriate course to match their current learning needs.

After the assessment, our education advisers will assist you with finding the most suitable class for your child, along with scheduling matters.

Promotion is based on your child’s own individual readiness instead of his/her age.

Every child learns at his/her own pace. Every student’s progress is tracked based on a checklist which is updated by our teachers regularly. Once a student has shown that he/she has met the goals of the course, a test will be administered to confirm the promotion to the next level. Thus, promotion to the next level can happen at any time of the year and not just at the end of the year.

The primary programme covers all the areas of the English language. Our English programmes are taught in a spiral approach by ensuring that difficulty increases as the years go by.

Our My English Primary Programme abides by the strict expectations and assessment criteria of Singapore's MOE. Our English enrichment classes prepares students for various topics they will be assessed on. Our booklets may look a little different from what students see in school, but rest assured that the content taught and delivered is comparable and goes beyond what students are required to learn.
