Looking for experienced Chinese tuition teachers?
Being a compulsory subject, Mother Tongue contributes to the overall assessment in school. Yet, many students face seemingly insurmountable challenges in mastering the language.
Chinese tuition can give students the boost they need before the exams. If your child
- struggles to express themselves clearly in composition or oral exams,
- finds comprehension passages hard to understand or answer accurately,
- is unmotivated because they feel 'Chinese is too hard', or
- needs someone patient to guide them step-by-step and build confidence,
1-to-1 Chinese tuition offers the personalised attention that school classes often can’t provide.
Start Tuition sources from more than 15000 teachers, ex-teachers, full-time tutors, undergraduate tutors to find someone who suits your requirements and budget. No obligations.
Find your ideal home tutor from Start Tuition today!

How are the Chinese lessons conducted?
To prepare the students for the academic exams (from Pri 1 to JC 2), tutors for Chinese language covers all aspects that are tested in school and the major exams. This includes Hanyu Pinyin (汉语拼音), Comprehension (理解问答), Composition, Creative Writing (写作技巧，创意写作), Oral (看图说话，朗读文章).
Do tutors provide materials or notes for tuition?
It depends. Most academic classes will involve assessment books; parents usually purchase them, or tutors can recommend suitable ones based on the child's current standards and the parents reimburse. The more experienced tutors may provide worksheets, exam papers, sample essays, 好词好句 if they have.
Why is it so difficult to do well in Chinese?
For students who struggle with Mother Tongue (or Chinese in this case), we often see several common reasons:
- Lack of immersion: It's not spoken in the family or social circle.
- Fear of making mistakes: Many students hesitate to speak for fear of sounding "wrong" or being judged, which blocks practice and improvement.
- Vocabulary overload: Not only is the language difficult, there are tons of new words to learn, remember. Writing the characters are also difficult. Over time, the difficulty multiplies.
How to do better?
With academic pressures, the goal looks further every day. We encourage students and family to:
- Daily Exposure: Listen to music, watch shows, or follow educational media in Chinese. Even 10–15 mins a day helps.
- Learn in Context: Find stories, phrases/sentences to incorporate the new vocabulary. This helps improves recall and demonstrates how the words flow naturally.
- Engage an experienced tutor: Having the expertise of an experienced tutor can help narrow down key areas to focus on, and targeted practice to make learning as effective and efficient as possible. Tutors are also cheerleaders - motivating the children along the long process towards excellence!
