Having A Hard Time Keeping Up With Primary 6 English?
Challenges Faced by Primary 6 English Students
1. Situational writing
Situational writing poses several challenges for Primary 6 English students as they navigate the complexities of crafting appropriate responses in various contexts. One primary difficulty is the need to understand the specific requirements and expectations of different writing tasks, such as letters, emails, or reports. Students may struggle to identify the tone and style appropriate for each situation, which can lead to confusion about how to effectively communicate their message. Additionally, the ability to organize thoughts logically and structure their writing coherently is still developing at this stage, making it challenging for students to present their ideas clearly. Furthermore, students often find it hard to incorporate relevant details that enhance their writing while remaining concise and focused on the prompt. As they attempt to balance these elements, the pressure to produce a well-crafted piece can result in anxiety, hindering their overall performance in situational writing tasks. Overall, the combination of understanding context, organizing content, and managing writing conventions makes situational writing a significant hurdle for Primary 6 students.
2. Listening comprehension
Listening comprehension can be a considerable challenge for Primary 6 English students due to a variety of factors that impact their ability to understand spoken language. One significant difficulty is the speed at which information is presented; students may struggle to process and retain information when it is delivered quickly, making it hard to follow along and grasp key points. Additionally, the use of different accents, tones, and vocabulary in listening exercises can create further obstacles, as students may not be familiar with certain pronunciations or expressions, leading to misunderstandings. Moreover, listening comprehension requires students to engage in active listening, which involves not just hearing words but also interpreting meaning and inferring context. This skill can be particularly challenging for young learners who may be more accustomed to reading and writing tasks. Lastly, the pressure of timed listening assessments can induce anxiety, further impeding their ability to concentrate and comprehend effectively. Together, these factors contribute to the difficulties Primary 6 students face in mastering listening comprehension.
3. Summary skills
Summary skills present a notable challenge for Primary 6 English students due to several interconnected factors. One primary difficulty lies in the ability to distill complex information into concise and coherent summaries. Students often struggle to identify the main ideas and distinguish them from supporting details, leading to summaries that are either too vague or overly detailed. Additionally, the need for effective paraphrasing can be daunting; many students find it challenging to rephrase information in their own words while maintaining the original meaning, which is crucial for a successful summary. Furthermore, the cognitive load involved in processing and synthesizing information can be overwhelming, particularly when students are presented with longer texts or multiple sources. This can result in frustration and a lack of confidence in their summarization abilities. Lastly, the pressure to produce a well-structured summary within a limited timeframe can exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult for students to focus and organize their thoughts effectively. Overall, these factors contribute to the struggles Primary 6 students face in developing strong summary skills.

What’s unique about a 1-to-1 Primary 6 English Tuition class versus an Pri 6 English Tuition centre?
Customized Learning Path: In a 1-to-1 setting, the tutor can create a Personalised learning plan that focuses on the student’s specific strengths and weaknesses, allowing for targeted practice in areas like essay writing, comprehension, and grammar, which may not be as easily addressed in a tuition center with a fixed curriculum.
Intensive Exam Preparation: One-on-one tuition provides an opportunity for intensive preparation for primary school exit exams. Tutors can drill down on past exam papers, identify common pitfalls, and provide tailored strategies to improve performance, offering a more focused approach than group classes.
Flexible Pace and Scheduling: Students in 1-to-1 tuition can learn at their own pace, spending more time on challenging topics or accelerating through areas of strength. Additionally, scheduling can be adjusted to fit the student’s needs, accommodating any last-minute revisions or changes in availability that a structured tuition center may not offer.

Primary 6 English Tuition Pricing FAQs
Why do Primary 6 English tutors charge different prices?
Various factors contribute to the pricing discrepancies in Primary 6 English tuition among tutors. The experience and qualifications of the tutor are significant factors, with more experienced tutors typically charging higher rates. The inclusion of Personalised teaching approaches, tailored lesson plans, and individualised attention for students may influence pricing.
Additional services provided, such as exam preparation support and Specialised study materials, can also impact the cost of Primary 6 English tuition. Moreover, the geographical location of the tutoring center, demand for specific services, and tutor availability can play a role in determining the tuition fees for Primary 6 English tuition.
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 6 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 6 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 6 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 6 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 6 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.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 6 English Tuition in Singapore
How important is Primary English compared to other subjects?
To prepare for the PSLE English exam, practice is key. Encourage your child to work through past PSLE papers, especially comprehension passages and composition writing. You can also have regular discussions about current events to enhance their oral skills. At SmileTutor, we offer tailored lessons focused on the specific areas of the PSLE exam, ensuring your child is well-prepared to tackle each section confidently.
What are the main areas to focus on for my child’s English in Primary 6?
In Primary 6, the main areas of focus include writing structured compositions, mastering grammar rules, improving reading comprehension, and refining oral communication skills. Our experienced tutors at SmileTutor help reinforce these key skills through Personalised sessions that cater to your child’s strengths and areas for improvement.
How can I improve my child’s essay writing for PSLE?
Essay writing in Primary 6 requires students to craft well-organized, clear, and engaging essays. You can help by encouraging your child to brainstorm ideas and structure their essays into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Our tutors at SmileTutor focus on teaching your child how to create strong, coherent essays while improving their creativity and expression.
What should my child focus on when revising for grammar and vocabulary?
Grammar and vocabulary are essential at this stage. Ensure your child is familiar with different tenses, sentence structures, and common grammatical errors. A strong vocabulary will also help them excel in both writing and comprehension tasks. At SmileTutor, we focus on reinforcing grammar through targeted exercises and expanding vocabulary through reading and writing tasks.
When should I consider getting a tutor for my child’s PSLE preparation?

Sure, if you have any tutors in mind, feel free to give us a call at +65 6266 4475 and let us know the information of the P6 English tutor you are looking for. As we have the most extensive database in Singapore, we may be able to find the tutor you are looking for.
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 P6 English tuition lessons conducted?
The P6 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 P6 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 P6 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 Can Primary 6 English Tuition Help Students Transition Smoothly to Secondary Education?
1. Strengthened Language Skills
Primary 6 English tuition focuses on advanced grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension skills that are essential for secondary school curricula. By solidifying these foundational skills, students feel more prepared to tackle the increased complexity of English studies in secondary education.
2. Familiarity with Exam Formats
Tuition often includes practice with various types of assessments, including essays and comprehension passages similar to those found in secondary school exams. This familiarity helps students build confidence and reduces anxiety as they encounter new exam formats.
Development of Independent Learning Habits
Primary 6 English tuition encourages students to take responsibility for their learning through self-directed study and critical analysis of texts. This fosters independent learning habits that are crucial for success in the more autonomous environment of secondary school.
Students in Singapore face the dual challenge of maintaining their informal communication style while mastering academic English. As they prepare for secondary education, the influence of casual language can hinder their ability to produce clear and structured writing. This is particularly evident during exams and formal presentations, where a strong command of standard English is essential for success.
Important Aspects to Consider for Primary 6 English Tuition Instructors
Our focus is on ensuring your child is fully prepared for secondary education through strong English proficiency in Primary 6.
PSLE Prep and Exam Techniques
For Primary 6 students, a great tutor should be focused on preparing students for the PSLE, helping them master exam techniques. This includes teaching students how to effectively manage their time, how to approach different types of questions, and how to review their work for errors.
At this crucial stage, tutors should also help students stay calm and focused, ensuring they are confident and ready to do their best during the exams. Effective exam strategies and stress management are key to achieving top results.
At SmileTutor, our tutors are experts in PSLE preparation. We provide tailored lessons and exam tips to ensure students are fully prepared to excel in their English exams.

Providing Targeted Exam Preparation
For Primary 6 students, an ideal tutor should provide focused and targeted exam preparation based on unique needs. Tutors should identify areas where students need improvements and design practice tests, mock exams, and review sessions to ensure students have fully mastered the subject for PSLE.
This targeted approach allow students to feel more confident and less anxious in the examination hall. Students will be well-prepared and equipped with the strategies they need to confidently tackle tricky exam questions, knowing exactly what to expect on test day.
At SmileTutor, our tutors provide structured and thorough exam preparation, helping Primary 6 students approach the PSLE with confidence and achieve their best results.
