Is your child ready for Primary 1? Watching your child struggle with English can be difficult. The challenges are real, whether it is keeping up with schoolwork, understanding complex vocabulary, speaking confidently, or even reading. Building reading readiness and English confidence with premium lessons – expert-led, flexible 1:1 or small group private lessons tailored just for them.

Recognising that every child’s learning style and pace is different, the British Council offers one-to-one (1:1) or small group private lessons that are specially tailored to your child’s needs. Here are reasons why you should consider them.

Personalised English Private Lessons

Concerned that your child’s needs won’t be fully addressed by classroom-style tuition? Every child is unique, so lessons should be too!

With the British Council’s specialised 1:1/Small group private lessons, your child will be able to receive personalised supervision and coaching. Be it to improve their writing skills, brush up on grammar or excel in English for PSLE, the British Council’s teachers can customise a course specifically for your child, aligned fully with each individual student’s goals. 

For Learners of All Ages and Levels

The British Council’s classes build your child’s confidence in speaking and writing in English, from as early as Kindergarten 1 to their Secondary School years. Lessons can be catered to students from both MOE and international schools in Singapore, covering areas including exam preparation, creative writing/composition, comprehension, pronunciation, reading, phonics and early literacy.

Over the years, the British Council has helped children develop essential 21^st century skills and proficiencies to be able to thrive in the fast-changing world, in particular, with the mastery of English – the world’s global language.

Whatever their proficiency level or background, the British Council recognises each individual student’s strengths, interests and learning needs and helps them enhance their English skills through personalised pathways.

Many local parents, such as Amanda, trust in the British Council’s 1:1/Small Group Private Lessons as they've seen their kids enjoying and benefitting from the personalised lessons.

A Japanese parent, Shinichiro, whose 17-year-old son Yuta also attends these lessons shared: “Yuta’s high school teacher praised his improvement in English language skills, especially speaking skills. This course has helped Yuta to confidently make a restaurant reservation over the phone and interact with his foreign basketball friend. If we lived in Tokyo, he would not have been able to speak English in this way. The teacher was 100% respectful of Yuta’s learning style (and) also gave him advice on how to improve his English level.”
