Sengkang primary schools
Nan Chiau: SAP in secondary, not in primary
MOE's list marks Nan Chiau High as a SAP school, but not Nan Chiau Primary or any other Sengkang primary. Nan Chiau Primary is government-aided, like the high school further along Anchorvale Link. A P1 tutor works on pinyin, speaking and characters at any of the twelve.

What P1 Chinese asks for
P1 Chinese in 2027 follows MOE's 2024 primary Chinese curriculum, taught from the 欢乐伙伴2.0 textbooks that started with the P1 cohort of 2024. The focus is listening, speaking, hanyu pinyin and the four tones, and recognising and writing characters. Each lesson lists characters to recognise when reading (识读字) and a smaller set to write from memory (识写字): in the first lesson, ten to read and five to write.
P1 has no weighted assessments or exams, and schools report progress in words, not marks. So the year is about habits: reading aloud, saying full sentences and keeping up with the characters each week. Higher Chinese in P1 and P2 is offered only in selected schools, so ask your school whether it runs it.

Frequently asked questions
Our child goes to a Sengkang West school. Can the tutor come to Fernvale?
Yes. Tutors come to homes on both LRT loops, and the rate is the same. For a P1 child, a lesson soon after school or on a weekend morning usually works better than a late evening.
How will we know our child is keeping up if P1 has no exams?
Schools report progress in words, not marks, in P1. Ask the tutor for a short note after each lesson on which characters and pinyin your child knows, and which to practise. That gives you a running picture through the year.
How much does a P1 Chinese tutor in Sengkang cost?
The rate follows the level and the tutor type, not the town. For P1 Chinese it is S$25 to S$35 an hour with a part-time tutor, S$35 to S$45 with a full-time tutor and S$50 to S$70 with an ex-MOE teacher. Worked example: a full-time tutor at S$40 an hour, for 1.5 hours once a week, costs S$240 for four lessons. There is no contract.
Can a tutor help if we do not speak Chinese at home?
Yes, and it is a common reason families start in P1. The tutor reads each textbook lesson with your child, practises pinyin and tones, and explains in English where your child is lost before switching back to Chinese. Ask for a short note after each lesson on what to revise at home.
