Starting Primary 1 Chinese can feel overwhelming for both children and parents in Singapore. At this crucial stage, your child is learning Hanyu Pinyin, recognizing their first Chinese characters, and trying to form simple sentences. Many young learners find Chinese challenging because it's so different from English, with its unique characters and tones. Our experienced Primary 1 Chinese home tutors understand these struggles intimately. Through personalized 1-to-1 private tuition, we help young students build a strong foundation in Chinese at their own pace. Whether your child needs help mastering Pinyin, remembering characters, or gaining confidence in speaking, our tutors use proven methods that make learning feel natural rather than forced.
What makes our Primary 1 Chinese tuition program effective is how we make language learning engaging and stress-free. Your child won't just copy characters repeatedly or memorize vocabulary lists. Instead, our qualified tutors use stories, games, songs, and visual aids that align with the MOE syllabus while keeping lessons fun. We focus on Pinyin mastery, building character recognition through patterns, developing listening comprehension, and encouraging your child to speak Chinese confidently without fear of making mistakes. Many parents tell us their children actually enjoy Chinese lessons now and feel proud when they recognize characters in everyday life. With home tuition, your Primary 1 child gets the individual attention and encouragement they need to thrive. Let us help your child build a positive relationship with Chinese from the very beginning.

What Our Parents Say
"My daughter was really struggling with Chinese in Primary 1. She would get so frustrated trying to remember characters and refused to speak Chinese at all. After three months with her Chinese tutor, she's much more confident. She can read simple sentences now and even tries to speak Chinese at home. I'm so relieved!"
— Mrs. Jennifer Wong
