About the Course
PSLE represents a singular opportunity – a chance for students to excel and secure placement in their desired schools. With just one shot at success, selecting the right oral programme for the final lap becomes imperative. Given that the English and Chinese oral components carry significant weight in overall grades, it’s essential to alleviate any mounting anxiety.
Enter the Gemini Bilingual PSLE Oral Brilliance Programme, meticulously pioneered this year to guide your child through the PSLE Oral journey until the Prelims. Developed by curriculum experts from two reputable PSLE tuition centres, our bilingual oral programme at Writers Studio and Littles Learning offers extensive practice on challenging topics. Drawing from invaluable experience with MOE oral examinations, we ensure thorough preparation for both English and Chinese oral assessments – geared for improved scores so long as your child cooperates.
Writers Studio School of English and Littles Learning Centre will both guide your child through a comprehensive English & Chinese Oral programme, with 2 hours dedicated to both English and Chinese Oral components. All lessons run on a modular basis.
