How do you choose the best English enrichment centre for your child? Ideally, look for centres that do the following:

• Teach according to Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) requirements
• Cover all exam components
• Provide structured strategies for planning compositions or essays, and answering other types of questions
• Give personalised feedback, not just marking with ticks and crosses
• Train exam skills like time management and answering techniques

A good sign is when educators can explain how marks are awarded for specific question types, and show your child how to avoid common pitfalls. Below, we recommend some English enrichment centres that you can consider.
