Is PSLE Chinese Too Challenging For Your Child?
Challenges Faced by PSLE Chinese Students
1. Character Recognition and Writing
For many PSLE Chinese students, one of the biggest challenges is mastering Chinese characters. With hundreds of characters to memorize, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. Recognizing and writing characters correctly, while ensuring each stroke is in the right place, can feel like an impossible task for younger students.
This issue is compounded by the fact that students often need to recall characters in different contexts—whether for reading, writing, or even oral exams. The pressure to perform accurately and consistently can be stressful, especially when they feel unsure about their abilities.
2. Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension in PSLE Chinese can be a tricky skill to master. Students are expected to read longer passages and answer detailed questions about them. This often involves not just understanding the text, but also interpreting the meaning behind it, which can be difficult if they’re not familiar with the vocabulary or sentence structures.
Many students also find it tough to manage their time during reading comprehension exercises. The texts can be challenging, and the pressure to read quickly while absorbing information in detail can leave students feeling frustrated and unsure of how to approach the questions effectively.
3. Oral Exams and Fluency
Oral exams can be intimidating for PSLE students, particularly for those who lack confidence in their speaking skills. The expectation to speak fluently and clearly while presenting ideas logically can feel overwhelming, especially when they’re being graded on pronunciation and coherence. For some students, this leads to anxiety, making it harder for them to perform well.
The nerves that come with speaking in front of an examiner can cause students to stutter or lose their train of thought, which negatively impacts their score. Practicing speaking regularly in a relaxed setting can help, but many students don’t have enough opportunities to build this confidence outside of the classroom.

What’s Makes 1-to-1 PSLE Chinese Tutoring Better Than A Chinese Tuition centre?
1. Focused, Individual Attention
With 1-to-1 PSLE Chinese tutoring, your child gets the undivided attention they need. Tutors can immediately identify their struggles and adjust the pace accordingly, whether it’s mastering characters or improving speaking fluency. In contrast, tuition centers often have to divide their focus between several students, making it harder to address each child’s individual needs.
2. Tailored Lesson Plans
Private tutoring allows for custom lesson plans that focus on your child’s weaknesses, whether it’s grammar, comprehension, or writing. Tutors can adapt the lessons based on their progress and provide extra practice where needed. In contrast, tuition centers follow a standard curriculum that may not target your child’s specific struggles as effectively.
3. Comfortable, Stress-Free Environment
Some children find large classes intimidating or distracting, which can hinder their learning. With 1-to-1 tutoring, your child can learn in a relaxed, one-on-one environment that builds confidence and reduces stress. This way, they feel comfortable asking questions and trying out new ideas without worrying about other students.

PSLE Chinese Tuition Pricing FAQs
What Is The Difference Between The Type Of PSLE Chinese Tutors Available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time PSLE Chinese Tutors – refers to private tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the 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 home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time PSLE Chinese Tutors – refers to full-time private 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.
– PSLE Chinese School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. 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 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 PSLE 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 PSLE 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 PSLE 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 PSLE Chinese Tutors Recommended By SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 50,000 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 Chinese tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private Chinese 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.

Read lessFrequently Asked Questions About PSLE Chinese Tuition In Singapore
What Should My Child Focus On For The PSLE Chinese Oral Exam?
The PSLE Chinese oral exam assesses both reading and speaking skills, so practice is key. SmileTutor’s tutors offer Personalised lessons focusing on pronunciation, fluency, and expression to ensure that your child is prepared for the exam.
We emphasise tone accuracy and encourage students to engage in mock oral exams, simulating real exam conditions. Our tutors also help build confidence and ensure your child feels at ease when speaking, which is critical to achieving a strong score in this section.
How Can My Child Improve Their PSLE Chinese Comprehension Skills?
Comprehension exercises can be challenging, but with the right strategies, they become easier to handle. SmileTutor focuses on improving your child’s ability to understand context, identify key information, and interpret passages accurately. We break down each passage step-by-step, teaching students how to spot keywords and important clues in the text.
By practicing regularly with our structured approach, students develop the critical thinking skills necessary for both short and long-answer questions in the PSLE Chinese comprehension paper.
Why Is My Child Struggling With Chinese Characters, And How Can They Improve?
Chinese characters can be difficult to memorize, but with the right strategies, learning becomes easier. SmileTutor’s tutors help students by using creative memorization techniques, such as mnemonics, character breakdowns, and interactive activities to make learning characters more fun and memorable.
We ensure that students not only memorise the characters but also understand their meaning and usage. Through consistent practice and review, your child will improve their character recognition and writing skills, ensuring they can confidently tackle the PSLE Chinese exams.

How are the tutors assigned to me?
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.

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 PSLE Chinese tuition lessons conducted?
The PSLE 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 PSLE 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 PSLE 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.
