Is Your Child Struggling With Primary 4 Chinese Learning?
Challenges Confronted by Primary 4 Chinese Students
1. Complex Grammar Rules:
As grammar becomes more intricate, students may struggle with applying rules accurately in both writing and speaking. Without a strong grasp of complex sentence structures and grammar patterns, students may find it difficult to express themselves clearly or score well in compositions. Our P4 Chinese tutors focus on reinforcing grammar through targeted practice, examples, and corrections, helping students use language confidently and accurately.
2. Oral Expression:
Developing confidence in speaking and expressing ideas clearly in Chinese can be a hurdle for some students. Limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and uncertainty with sentence structure often hold students back. At SmileTutor, our P4 Chinese home tutors create a supportive environment that encourages active participation, helping students improve fluency, pronunciation, and confidence through guided conversations and oral practice.
3. Comprehension of Texts:
Analyzing and interpreting longer and more complex texts is often challenging at this level. Students must not only understand surface meanings but also infer deeper messages, themes, and emotions from the passages. Without proper strategies, they may struggle with answering higher-order comprehension questions. Our experienced P4 Chinese tutors guide students through proven reading techniques to improve understanding, critical thinking, and answering skills. By developing their language skills, Primary 4 students can gain a competitive advantage in their education and beyond, unlocking a world of possibilities for their future.

What distinguishes a one-on-one Primary 4 Chinese Tuition class from an Primary 4 Chinese Tuition center?
In-depth Exploration of Topics: Tutors in a one-on-one setting can delve deeper into topics that interest or challenge the student, providing detailed explanations and examples. This depth of exploration is often limited in a tuition center due to the need to adhere to a broader curriculum.
Pacing Control: The pace of a 1-to-1 lesson is entirely set by the student’s understanding, ensuring comprehensive mastery of each concept before moving forward. This pacing flexibility is crucial for grasping complex grammar rules and oral expression, unlike the fixed pace of group classes.
Tailored Homework Assignments: Tutors can assign homework specifically designed to target the student’s weaknesses or reinforce newly learned skills. This customized approach ensures that practice is relevant and effective, while tuition centers typically provide standardized assignments that may not address individual needs.

Primary 4 Chinese Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of Primary 4 Chinese tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Primary 4 Chinese Tutors – refers to private P4 tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the P4 tutors here are still schooling: A-level graduates, Diploma students/graduates, or Undergraduates. To a lesser extent, there are also University graduates and working professionals offering tuition part-time and they fall under this category. Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for Pri 4 home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time Primary 4 Chinese Tutors – refers to full-time private P4 tutors who teach as a profession. Full-time tutors may/may not be university graduates but often have significantly more teaching experiences than part-time tutors as they tutor lots of students 1-to-1 as well as take up jobs in tuition centres teaching groups of students in classes.The actual qualifications and experience of a full-time tutor can vastly differ between individuals, hence so does the tuition rate they command.
– Primary 4 Chinese School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. P4 Tutors under this category tend to be the most experienced and qualified in private tutoring and thus command the highest tuition rates. Be prepared to pay a premium in order to engage these P4 teachers successfully.
Do I have to pay any agent fees?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for Primary 4 Chinese 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 Primary 4 Chinese home 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.
Are there any contracts?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our private Primary 4 Chinese 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.
How can I trust the Primary 4 Chinese tutors recommended by SmileTutor?
Trust in Primary 4 Chinese tutors from SmileTutor is built on their strong educational backgrounds and teaching experience. Tutors are chosen for their ability to tailor lessons to the curriculum and adapt to the evolving needs of students. Reviews and testimonials from parents highlight their success in helping students excel in comprehension and writing skills.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions about Primary 4 Chinese Tuition in Singapore
Is Primary 4 Chinese a difficult subject?
Primary 4 Chinese presents new challenges as students are expected to refine their reading, writing, and oral communication skills. The syllabus expands beyond basic vocabulary and sentence structures, requiring students to express themselves more fluently and confidently.
At this level, comprehension passages are longer, and students must analyse text for deeper meaning. Composition writing also becomes more demanding, requiring the use of complex sentence structures and creative expression. Without regular practice, some students may struggle to keep up with the increasing expectations.
Why do students struggle with Primary 4 Chinese?
Many students find Primary 4 Chinese challenging because they may not have developed a strong foundation in the earlier years. If they have difficulty remembering Chinese characters or structuring sentences correctly, they may find it hard to complete writing assignments or comprehension exercises.
Another common struggle is oral communication. The syllabus places greater emphasis on speaking skills, and students must be able to articulate their thoughts clearly and confidently. If they are not used to conversing in Chinese, they may hesitate or feel anxious during oral exams.
How do I know if my child needs help with Primary 4 Chinese?
Your child may need Primary 4 Chinese tuition if they display any of the following signs:
– Difficulty constructing coherent sentences and paragraphs in written assignments
– Weak comprehension skills, leading to incorrect or incomplete answers in tests
– Struggles with pronunciation, fluency, or confidence in oral presentations
– Declining motivation or reluctance to complete Chinese homework
If these issues persist, engaging a Primary 4 Chinese tutor can provide the targeted support your child needs to overcome these challenges.
How can Primary 4 Chinese Tuition help?
Primary 4 Chinese tuition helps students build strong language skills through structured lessons tailored to their specific weaknesses. With a private Primary 4 Chinese tutor, your child will receive one-on-one guidance to improve their reading comprehension, writing ability, and oral communication.
Tutors use engaging teaching methods such as storytelling, role-playing, and structured writing exercises to make learning more effective. They also provide personalised feedback to help students refine their grammar, vocabulary usage, and sentence structures.

After making a request via our online platforms (Website, Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp) or via the phone hotline (+65 6266 4475), our Tuition Coordinators will determine the best available tutor based on your stated preferences and will send you recommendations via SMS.
You can then ask any questions, request to speak with the tutor via conference call, ask for another recommendation or simply confirm the tutor. If you are uncomfortable with any details regarding the newly
assigned tutor, you can always request for a different tutor. Our Coordinators will ensure that both parties agree on the lesson details and pricing before confirming the lessons.

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.
Can I trust the Primary 4 Chinese tutors provided by SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 30,000 tutors based on multiple factors such as profile completeness, recent job acceptance, track records, parent reviews, and more. With this system, we are able to ensure that parents & students are constantly matched with the cream of the crop tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our tutors have improved and our numbers of compliments had increased tremendously.
SmileTutor treats the credibility of our tutor profiles very seriously. All suspicious tutor applications or profiles with missing information are immediately investigated and blacklisted. For tutees who wish to personally verify their tutor’s qualifications and identity, you may request that the tutor bring their relevant certificates on the 1st lesson. (We do not to send online documents due to privacy laws). For current school teachers, it is our SOP to remind tutors to bring teacher’s pass on their first lesson as a form of verification to give tutee a peace of mind.
Where are the Primary 4 Chinese tuition lessons conducted?
The Primary 4 Chinese 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 Primary 4 Chinese 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 Primary 4 Chinese 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.
