Looking for a suitable Chinese Enrichment for your kids? Here's a list to help you get started! 

So, we’ve realised that our kids may need some help with their Chinese language. All factors considered - such as your budget, child’s schedule, one-on-one tuition versus group learning, and just as important, researching on an MOE-registered provider – here are some of our top picks.

EduGrove Mandarin Enrichment Centre

Yue Xue Le (越学乐)

If you are looking for a way to stop the "rote memorisation" cycle at home, Yue Xue Le (越学乐) offers a refreshing, activity-based approach to Chinese enrichment.

Designed specifically for primary school students, the curriculum aligns strictly with MOE learning objectives but swaps repetitive drilling for interactive methods. By focusing on building a strong foundation in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, the programme helps children see Chinese as a language to be used rather than just a subject to be tested.

The small-group setting is a major plus for parents who want more personalised attention for their child. Teachers focus on innovative ways to tackle the "heavy hitters" of the Chinese syllabus—composition and comprehension—helping students build the vocabulary and confidence needed to express themselves clearly. Whether your child is struggling to keep up or you want them to get a head start before exam season kicks in, these classes focus on making the language feel natural and enjoyable.
