Having A Hard Time Keeping Up With Primary 5 English?
Challenges Faced by Primary 5 English Students
1. Summary writing
Summary writing presents several challenges for Primary 5 English students due to their developing comprehension and critical thinking skills. One major difficulty is the ability to discern the main ideas from supporting details in a text. Young learners often find it hard to filter out essential information, leading to summaries that are either too vague or overly detailed. Additionally, students may lack the vocabulary and language skills necessary to express ideas concisely, making it challenging for them to communicate the gist of a passage effectively. Furthermore, the requirement to paraphrase rather than copy text can confuse students, as they may struggle to rephrase ideas while retaining their original meaning. Lastly, the pressure to write clearly and coherently can hinder their confidence, resulting in frustration and a reluctance to engage in the summarization process. Together, these factors make summary writing a significant hurdle for Primary 5 students.
2. Subject-verb agreement
Subject-verb agreement poses significant challenges for Primary 5 English students due to several key factors. At this developmental stage, students are still mastering the rules of grammar, and the complexities of subject-verb agreement can be confusing. They often struggle to identify the subject of a sentence, especially when it is separated from the verb by additional phrases or clauses. Additionally, irregular plural forms and collective nouns can complicate their understanding, as students may not always know whether to treat these subjects as singular or plural. Furthermore, the influence of informal speech patterns, where subject-verb agreement is often overlooked, can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in their writing. As students work to develop their writing skills, these challenges can result in frequent errors, making it difficult for them to produce grammatically correct sentences. Overall, the intricacies of subject-verb agreement require focused instruction and practice, which can be difficult for young learners to fully grasp.
3. Prepositions
Visual text comprehension can be a significant challenge for Primary 5 English students due to several factors related to their developmental stage and exposure to different types of texts. At this age, students are still refining their interpretive skills, and understanding visual elements such as graphs, charts, images, and diagrams often requires them to make connections between visual and textual information. Many students may struggle to extract meaning from visuals without adequate context or guidance, leading to confusion about how these elements support the overall message of the text. Additionally, the variety of visual formats can be overwhelming, as students might not have had enough practice analyzing different types of visual representations or understanding their purposes. Furthermore, the ability to synthesize information from both visual and written components demands higher-order thinking skills that are still developing in this age group. As a result, students may find it challenging to draw conclusions or make inferences based on visual texts, hindering their overall comprehension and engagement with the material.

Primary 5 English Tuition Pricing FAQs
Why do Primary 5 English tutors charge different prices?
In Primary 5 English tuition, tutors may have differing prices based on several factors. The level of experience and qualifications of the tutor can affect pricing, with more experienced tutors often charging higher fees. Customized teaching methods, personalised lesson plans, and individualised attention given to each student may play a role in determining the cost of tuition.
Specialised services offered by tutors, such as exam preparation assistance or creative writing guidance, can also impact pricing for Primary 5 English tuition. Additionally, factors like the location of the tutoring center, demand for specific services, and the tutor’s availability may contribute to the variations in pricing.
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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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.

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 5 English Tuition in Singapore

At this stage, it’s important to focus on refining writing skills, mastering complex grammar concepts, and practicing comprehension techniques. Our tutors help your child strengthen these areas through structured lessons that build a deeper understanding of the English language.
What can I do to improve my child’s reading comprehension?
Encourage your child to read regularly and ask them to summarize what they’ve read. Practice answering comprehension questions together. SmileTutor tutors provide focused reading comprehension exercises that improve your child’s ability to understand and analyse texts effectively.
How can I prepare my child for the PSLE English exam?

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 P5 English tuition lessons conducted?
The P5 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 P5 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 P5 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 5 English Tuition Enhance Critical Thinking and Communication Skills in Students?"
1. Engaging Curriculum
Primary 5 English tuition often includes interactive activities such as debates, group discussions, and creative writing exercises. These activities encourage students to express their thoughts clearly and construct logical arguments, fostering critical thinking.
2. Personalised Feedbacks
Tutors provide tailored feedback on students’ writing and speaking skills. This constructive criticism helps students refine their ideas, articulate them better, and understand different perspectives, which enhances both critical thinking and effective communication.
Exposure to Diverse Texts
Through exposure to various literary genres and topics, students learn to analyse different viewpoints and interpret information critically. This broadens their understanding and improves their ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and confidently.
As students in Singapore advance in their education, they often encounter challenges in learning proper English due to the informal language used among friends. This can lead to confusion during writing assignments and oral presentations, where the expectations for formal language are higher. They may struggle to adapt their speech and writing to meet these academic standards.
What Characteristics Make an Effective Primary 5 English Tutor?
We are committed to guiding your child in mastering complex English concepts as they navigate Primary 5.
Strong Focus on Writing Skills
A great tutor for Primary 5 students should have a strong focus on developing writing skills. At this stage, students are expected to write more detailed and structured essays, so tutors must teach them how to organize their thoughts, develop clear arguments, and express ideas effectively.
By giving constructive feedback on written assignments, tutors can help students refine their writing style and ensure they understand key writing techniques, such as planning, drafting, and editing.
At SmileTutor, our tutors provide personalised guidance on improving writing skills, offering strategies and feedback that help students excel in their written work.
