Tuition Classes for Primary 6
Primary 6 is a crucial year as students prepare for the PSLE, a milestone that not only tests academic proficiency but also demands focus and resilience. At this level, students are expected to demonstrate mastery across subjects and apply their knowledge confidently under exam conditions.
Our curriculum is aligned with the MOE syllabus and carefully designed to consolidate key content, sharpen question analysis, and strengthen response accuracy. At The Eton Academy, we guide students through common PSLE question types, refine their answering techniques, and provide regular practice and feedback to build exam readiness. Students are taught to evaluate their answers critically, reflect on common misconceptions, and approach the PSLE with clarity and confidence.
Class Fees: approximately $87 to $101* per 2h session (charged per term)
Class Duration: 2 hours
Class Size: Maximum 12 students

READ CRITICALLY, WRITE CREATIVELY
Students hone their ability to comprehend complex texts with depth and precision. They learn to analyse implied meaning, author’s intent, and evaluate the use of literary devices across various genres. In writing, students are guided to craft full-length compositions with narrative maturity, incorporating writing techniques such as internal dialogue, varied pacing and figurative language to bring out tone, voice and clarity in their stories.
BECOME AN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATOR
Students refine their oral communication through discussions, structured presentations and stimulus-based conversations. They learn to justify their opinions, engage with diverse perspectives, and deliver responses fluently and persuasively, skills vital for oral exams and real-world expression.
CULTIVATE A CURIOUS MIND
Through engaging with current issues and global themes such as digital transformation and social responsibility, students are encouraged to think critically and empathetically. They learn to ask probing questions, reflect on real-life situations, and express their thoughts with conviction and clarity.
MASTER KEY STRATEGIES AND SKILLS
At this level, we focus on precision, clarity, and strategy. Students deepen their mastery of PSLE-style answering techniques across various components. They practise synthesising information, managing question demands, and structuring high-quality responses under timed conditions. Feedback is personalised and regular, ensuring that learning gaps are addressed and progress is visible.
CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS
Parents receive termly Learning Snapshots and feedback that provide insights into their child’s readiness for PSLE. These updates highlight key strengths, targeted areas for growth, and recommended next steps to support revision at home. This collaborative approach ensures every child is well-supported in their final lap towards PSLE success.
Key Curriculum Focus
Through the course of our Primary 6 English programme, your child can look forward to learning the following:

Lessons are structured to help students investigate the craft of writing with examples from notable children’s literature (e.g. How did the writer make the character memorable? What were some of the writing techniques he used? How can we emulate them?)
Students are encouraged to learn grammar through a mix of implicit and explicit instruction (e.g. noticing patterns in different sentences vs listing of grammar rules)
Students hone their reading skills with integrated phonics components that include catchy songs / rhymes to stimulate their interest
Students engage in a wide range of themes (e.g. biodiversity, young game changers) throughout the year to ignite their curiosity in the world around us
“Develop Your Voice” modules encourage students to be active listeners and articulate speakers

Children learn through the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach by recalling and building on pre-existing knowledge. During the P6 Maths tuition programme, your child will explore and apply concepts beyond the syllabus.
UNLEASH CURIOSITY IN MATHS
Research shows that curious children attain better academic outcomes. Children will explore mathematical concepts through open-ended activities and develop a system of generating results from exploration of ideas and concepts. Our Maths tuition programme also extends problem solving through investigation.
COMPUTE WITH EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY
Children will be able to confidently apply knowledge and address learning needs through weekly exercises and assessments. Each child will be exposed to a wide range of computation exercises and challenging tasks.
ACHIEVE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PROBLEM SOLVING
Our P6 Maths tuition guide students in mastering heuristic strategies for problem sums, identify task requirements by exploring similar concepts in different problems, and explore different solutions to the same problem.
ARTICULATE CONFIDENTLY
Children will learn to identify and correct errors, be confident in providing justification for answers and question assumptions made in problem solving. The Eton Academy encourages children to cultivate an open mind towards learning from and sharing with peers.
