PSLE English Program - Primary 5 / 6

Upper Years Programme - Primary 5 and Primary 6 English Headstart
Primary 5 Headstart Classes
Primary 5 is commonly dubbed as the "most challenging transition year".
​
This is the first time your child is introduced to the question types and styles that are tested in the PSLE. This elevation in difficulty is destressing for many students, leading to a drastic dip in performance.
​
In our headstart classes, we stretch your child with questions that are tested at Primary 5 level, but scaled back in difficulty. This helps students acclimatize to P5 question requirements, yet do not overwhelm them. Fortify your child with the skills and techniques to cross the 'P5 chasm' with confidence.
Primary 6 Headstart Classes
Kickstart Your Child's PSLE preparations with our Year End Headstart Classes.​
​
Our lesson materials, notes, worksheets and practices are crafted for the 2025 PSLE syllabus to expose your child to the latest requirements.
Plug the skills and knowledge gaps, eradicate misconceptions and acquire techniques that you will need for the 2025 PSLE English Exam.
​
Similar to our term classes, we will focus on Composition and Comprehension OE. We take your child through questions of varying difficulty so he/she gets a chance to apply the techniques taught. Receive model answers for easy revision beyond class!

Specific Techniques For All Question Types​
​
There are many ways to do well for PSLE English. You only need one specific Technique for every question type in English Paper 2, and a clear framework for Composition Writing (Paper 1).
​
We equip students with replicable strategies that can be directly applied in the PSLE exams, and sharpen it using targeted practices.
​
By challenging our students to come up with precise answers, while encouraging them to apply techniques diligently, we ensure that students are well aware and ready for the PSLE English exams.

Every student is provided with questions specifically designed to address their individual weaknesses, ensuring that revision sessions are purpose-driven and impactful.

By targeting specific areas for improvement, we help students make significant progress and achieve their full potential.
