Having A Hard Time Keeping Up With Primary 3 English?
Challenges Faced by Primary 3 English Students
1. Grammar and sentence:
Grammar and sentence structure can be particularly challenging for Primary 3 English students due to several factors. Firstly, students at this developmental stage are still honing their cognitive and linguistic abilities, making it difficult for them to grasp abstract concepts like grammar rules. Additionally, the complexity of the English language, with its irregularities and exceptions, can confuse young learners. Many students are also transitioning from learning simple sentence structures to more complex ones, which requires a deeper understanding of how words interact within sentences. Furthermore, limited exposure to varied sentence structures in everyday conversation can hinder their ability to apply grammar rules effectively. As a result, these challenges can lead to difficulties in both written and spoken communication, making grammar and sentence structure significant hurdles for Primary 3 students.
2. Contextual word usage
Contextual word usage poses a significant challenge for Primary 3 English students for several reasons. At this developmental stage, children are still expanding their vocabulary and may not yet fully understand the nuances of word meanings in different contexts. Many words have multiple meanings or can change in meaning based on how they are used, which can confuse young learners who are trying to grasp their appropriate usage. Additionally, students are often exposed to a limited range of contexts in their daily lives, making it harder for them to apply words correctly in varied situations. Furthermore, reading comprehension skills are still developing, and without a solid understanding of context clues, students may struggle to infer meanings and use words effectively. As a result, these factors contribute to difficulties in mastering contextual word usage, impacting their overall communication skills and confidence in language use.
3. Synonyms and antonyms
Understanding synonyms and antonyms can be a challenging task for Primary 3 English students for several reasons. At this stage of development, students are still expanding their vocabulary and may not yet have a strong grasp of the relationships between words. While they may know the meanings of certain words, they often struggle to identify words with similar or opposite meanings due to limited exposure and practice. Additionally, the concept of nuance in language—where synonyms may carry slightly different connotations or antonyms may not be direct opposites—can be difficult for young learners to comprehend. Moreover, the reliance on context to determine the appropriate synonym or antonym adds an additional layer of complexity, as students may not always have the reading comprehension skills needed to make these distinctions. Consequently, these challenges can hinder their ability to enhance their vocabulary and express themselves more precisely, impacting their overall language development.

How do I find the best private Primary 3 English tutor?

Leverage educational websites like SmileTutor to explore various profiles and read testimonials from other parents. Look for tutors who have experience working with Primary 3 students and are familiar with the curriculum.
Networking can also be beneficial. Join local parenting groups on social media or community forums to ask for recommendations. Parents who have had positive experiences can provide insights into the effectiveness of certain tutors.
Consider conducting interviews with potential tutors. Ask them about their teaching methods, experience with Primary 3 students, and how they plan to address your child’s specific needs.
Arrange for trial lessons to gauge how well the tutor connects with your child.

Do I have to pay any commission fees?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for Primary 3 English lessons conducted. A portion of the total lesson fees usually in the first four weeks of lessons will be allocated to SmileTutor as the agency commission. This is deducted directly from the tutor’s fees, so you do not pay anything extra.
However, there is a 9% GST imposed on the agency commission. For example, if you engage a private Primary 3 English tutor for $50 per class for once a week, the agency commission will be $100. Hence, the GST imposed is $9. This is only a one-off payment only and from 3rd lesson onward there is no GST since you pay the tutor directly. The tutor’s fees are not subjected to GST.
To facilitate the process for us to collect the agency fees, you are required to cooperate with us by transferring the allocated agency commission (usually 50% of the 1st month fees) + GST directly to SmileTutor. Thereafter, you will pay the remaining lessons to the tutor directly. Our Tuition Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details and instructions upon lesson confirmation.
How do I pay for lessons?
In general, the agency commission charged to the tutor is 2-weeks of active Primary 3 English lessons. Payment of the agency commission will be made directly to SmileTutor after the completion of a certain number of lessons whereby the lesson fees equal or exceed the agency commission amount. After you may paid the agency commission, you may pay the tutor directly for subsequent lessons in any method preferred by both parties
Do take note that our services are completely free for you. By paying directly to SmileTutor, you are merely helping us to facilitate the collection process of the agency commission from the Primary 3 English tutor. There are no additional / hidden fees you need to pay other than the mentioned lesson rates.
We accept various modes of payment including credit/debit card, online transfer, cheque, and cash. Our Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details during your tutor request.
Example: Client Mary hires Tutor for $60/lesson at 1 lesson per week. The agency commission is $120 (equivalent to 2 lessons). After Tutor has conducted two lessons, Client Mary transfers to SmileTutor $120. Then, from the 3rd lesson onwards, she is to pay Tutor directly. The arrangement made between Mary and the tutor is to pay every 4-lessons via bank transfer.
Is advance payment needed?
You do not have to make advance payments of any kind. All payments are made only after the requisite lessons have been conducted.
Are there any binding contracts?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our Primary 3 English home tutors. When any assignment is confirmed, there are guidelines to follow to ensure that both the student and tutor can have a smooth and rewarding experience.

The English tutor I got for my daughter was excellent. And the follow up from the company was awesome. Initially, I was skeptical to take a non MOE or experienced teacher however after trying him out, he proved me wrong. The part time tutor was amazing. My kid’s grammer improved!

It has always been difficult for us parents to push our child to learn, read and write. Teacher Xin Yun has guided my child to be more discipline in completing her work. She has her own set of strategies to induce my child to have the interest to read news articles and learn more vocab words from the publications. She is able to identify my child’s weaknesses in writing and aims to improve on this area for us. My child will always complete her homework for the tuition session. Great job Xin Yun. Thank you very much.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 3 English Tuition in Singapore
How can I help my child improve their writing skills?
Writing at Primary 3 becomes more structured, and your child may need guidance in organizing ideas. At home, encourage your child to write short stories or journal entries. Our tutors at SmileTutor can assist in refining writing techniques, teaching them how to structure paragraphs, and improving grammar.
What are the key areas I should focus on for my child’s English?
At this stage, focus on vocabulary building, reading comprehension, and grammar. Encourage your child to read a variety of texts, use a dictionary to learn new words, and practice grammar concepts like tenses and sentence types. Our tutors tailor lessons to strengthen these areas and support your child’s overall English development.
Is it important to improve my child’s oral communication skills at this stage?
Yes, oral communication is important in Primary 3. Encourage your child to engage in conversations in English, express their thoughts, and participate in class discussions. Our tutors at SmileTutor provide targeted lessons to help improve your child’s speaking skills, helping them become more confident communicators.
How do I support my child in preparing for the English exams?

Our tutors at SmileTutor provide exam-focused sessions to help your child get ready and develop effective study habits.

Alternatively, you may view some of our latest available tutors at our ‘View Tutors’ page. From this page you can do some DIY sourcing and indicate your interest directly there. However, do note that the availability of the tutor may not be guaranteed. Our Coordinators will be swift to advice you on the availabilities of the requested tutor and recommend any similar tutors that may be available if needed.
Where are the P3 English tuition lessons conducted?
The P3 English tutoring lessons will be conducted at a pre-determined location according to your preference (usually at your home). If it is not convenient to have tuition conducted at your home, you may request for the tuition to be conducted somewhere else, such as the tutors home or at a convenient public location such as libraries, cafeterias, hostels, etc.
The location of the tuition lessons should be determined before the confirmation of lessons. Any change in address after lessons have started is subject to both parties approval
How are lessons conducted?
One of the main benefits of private tutoring is that we do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every P3 English tutor has their unique methodology, personality, and teaching style. During the prospecting phase, our coordinators do our due diligence to find out your child’s needs and weakest points in the P3 English subject in order to match the most suitable tutor.
Usually, the first lesson is a ‘getting to know’ phase, where tutors will gauge your child’s interest in the subject, current level of proficiency, and spot areas of weakness. From the second lesson onwards, tutors will generally be more prepared to conduct the lessons according to the student’s learning or syllabus.
If you are a more hands-on parent, you can also communicate with the tutor and provide suggestions on which area you’d like the tutor to focus more on (i.e. composition writing). As there are no fixed lesson plans or arrangements, both the clients and tutors are free to discuss and conduct their lessons in any way that benefits the student’s learning.
Can I postpone lessons dates & timings?
Yes, of course. However, all postponements of lessons must be made at least 24 hours in advance of lessons, except for special cases (such as medical emergencies).
For postponement of the first lesson, SmileTutor must be informed via phone call at +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm). A confirmation SMS will be sent to you acknowledging your postponement after the call. However, if you are informing at least 48 hours in advance, an SMS made to +65 9014 4201 will suffice.
Postponements of lessons after the first lesson may be made directly between tutor and tutee.
Please note that failure to make a postponement at least 24 hours in advance may incur compensation to the tutor for time loss (e.g wasted trips). Generally, the compensation amount is 50% of 1-lesson fee.
Can I terminate lessons if the tutor is not suitable?
You may terminate the tuition at any time after the first lesson but must inform SmileTutor at least 24 hours in advance of the next lesson and must pay for all lessons conducted. Terminations made less than 24 hours before the lesson will incur a late charge of 50% of that lesson’s total fee.
Termination Procedure
1. Inform SmileTutor via a phone call to +65 6266 4475 (9am-8pm) at least 24 hours in advance before the next lesson
2. Pay for lessons conducted, half directly to SmileTutor and WhatsApp the receipt to our Finance Dept. at +65 9450 4390
3. Pay the other half directly to the tutor
However, note that once you have confirmed the assignment to book the tutor in quote, there is a binding contract to complete one full lesson and you may only request a change of tutor or terminate the tuition only after that 1st lesson. If you decide to change your mind before the 1st lesson even commenced, the fee for the unfinished first lesson may be charged as an administrative fee.
Will tutors postpone lessons?
SmileTutor does not encourage tutors to make frequent postponements to the lessons. However, we do encourage you to offer some degree of flexibility as tutors are also human and may fall sick or have sudden emergencies from time to time.
If the tutor we assigned to you happen to make postponements more frequently than you prefer, you may wish to communicate with them and remind them to stick to the usual lesson schedule. Sometimes, a simple effort to communicate between both parties can go a long way in avoiding any disruption in lessons or last-minute discrepancies.
If you face further difficulties with your tutor in this area, please feedback to us immediately and we will arrange a new tutor for you.
Can my tutor terminate the lessons?
For termination of lessons, tutors are expected to commit for at least the 4-weeks of tuition. If the tutor backs out of an assignment without a valid reason (e.g. illness) before completing at least 4-weeks of tuition, he/she will not be entitled to receive any tuition fees. i.e. You will only be required to pay 50% of the tuition fees (plus any applicable taxes) directly to the agency.
Unfortunately, we are unable to force tutors to commit for more than 4-weeks. However, we do encourage responsible behaviour and let our tutors know that they should do their best to commit at least until the end of year exams. Most of our tutors follow through.
What about adding of subjects or students (e.g siblings)?
You may wish to try out one subject first and then add more subjects subsequently. Or, when starting the tuition, you may find yourself wanting to increase the frequency of lessons or to engage the same tutor for your other children. In any of these cases, please make your request through the agency in order to stay protected and keep the tutor accountable to the agency.
SmileTutor is not responsible for any engagements made outside of the agency’s knowledge. Hence, tutors and tutees are expected to inform their coordinators of any added lessons or changes to the lessons schedule/subjects/tutees immediately.
How do I feedback to SmileTutor regarding my good/bad experience?
You may email us at Email for any feedback or questions that are not answered under this FAQ.
For private feedback about the agency service, you may contact Rum (Founder) at 97558257 or email him at Rum Email.
We appreciate your help in providing us accurate feedback so as to improve our service and system.

How Does Primary 3 English Tuition Enhance Critical Thinking and Communication Skills in Students?
1. Academic Pressure
Singapore’s education system is known for its rigor, and parents often feel the pressure to ensure their children excel academically. Tuition provides additional support, helping students strengthen their English skills and build a solid foundation for future learning.
2. Personalised Learning:
Smiletutor offers a tailored approach to education, allowing tutors to address individual learning needs and styles. This personalised attention helps students grasp complex concepts more effectively, boosting their confidence and performance in school.
Exam Preparation
Tuition provides targeted preparation for exams, familiarizing students with exam formats and question types, which can reduce anxiety and improve performance.
As children in Singapore grow, they often pick up informal ways of speaking from their friends. While this can create a sense of community, it may affect their ability to use proper English in school. When writing assignments or speaking in class, they might struggle to switch from casual language to the formal style required.
