Choosing the Right Chinese Tuition – One Mum’s Journey
As a parent, I’ve always believed that learning Chinese should be more than just preparing for tests. I wanted something that would help my child use the language confidently in real life — to speak it, enjoy it, and feel proud of it.
That’s exactly what I found when I walked into LingoAce’s flagship centre at 111 Somerset.
And now, if you’re in the same boat, you can try it for free — a full Chinese trial class (worth $98) that gives your child a taste of what learning can feel like when it’s done right.
More Than Just Tuition – A Learning Experience That Sticks
My first impression? It wasn’t like other centres. There were no endless worksheets or kids quietly copying characters. Instead, I saw picture books, storytelling, games, and group activities. The room felt alive — and so did the language.
LingoAce’s offline Chinese program focuses on language acquisition beyond exams. Kids don’t just learn to memorise – they learn to use Mandarin in context, through storytelling, drama, conversations, and hands-on exploration.
What stood out to me was how LingoAce manages to strike a balance. Yes, there’s a strong focus on the MOE syllabus and PSLE-aligned skills, but the way it’s taught goes beyond exam techniques.
Kids aren’t just drilled — they’re encouraged to use Mandarin in meaningful, real-life ways through stories, drama, conversations, and hands-on activities. That mix of structure and creativity helps them build both the skills for exams and the confidence to speak up and express themselves naturally.
A Holistic and Heartfelt Approach
What I appreciated most was the holistic education style. Lessons aren’t taught in isolation — they’re built around themes that kids can relate to: family, food, traditions, community. My child wasn’t just learning Chinese. She was learning how to express herself, think critically, and connect with her heritage.
Even the teaching methods are thoughtfully designed. Through games, skits, and interactive group work, kids apply what they’ve learned immediately — and they’re having so much fun they don’t even realise they’re in class.
The Right Teachers Make All the Difference
The teachers at LingoAce Somerset truly impressed me. Many of them hold Master’s degrees in Chinese or Education, but more importantly, they know how to engage kids.
My daughter connected instantly with her teacher — who not only taught well, but also made the class feel safe, warm, and inspiring. She came home talking about the story they read, the new word she used in a game, and how she even answered questions out loud (she’s usually very shy!).
Real-Life Language Learning
There’s a beautiful depth to the way Chinese is taught here. Kids learn words in context — in stories, in recipes, in songs and conversations. One week, my daughter came home excited about a "dumpling-making" story where they learned food-related vocabulary while discussing cultural traditions. That kind of learning sticks.
It’s not just about passing exams. It’s about helping children fall in love with the language and connect it to the world around them.
