Real results from our students
Chinese (O-Level / SEC) 1 year
Composition was the mark-sink — thin vocabulary, flat structure. Her teacher built a personal 成语 and phrase bank, taught essay structure and strong openings, and drilled comprehension answering technique, so the marks she kept missing started landing.
“We speak English at home, so Chinese was always her weakest. Her teacher made her confident enough to actually enjoy it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
About Ancourage Academy
We offer English, Mathematics, Science, and Chinese tuition from Kindergarten through JC2. Secondary students can also take Humanities, E-Maths, A-Maths, Combined Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. All MOE-track subjects follow the latest MOE syllabus. IB PYP, MYP, and DP subjects are also available, following the IB curriculum framework.
Every class has 3 to 6 students. This small-group format lets our teachers give each student individual attention, address misconceptions immediately, and track progress closely. It combines the affordability of group tuition with the personalised support of private tutoring.
We have two centres: Bishan (10-minute walk from Bishan MRT, near Junction 8) and Woodlands (near Woodlands South MRT at Vista Point). Both centres serve students from surrounding areas including Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Marymount, Admiralty, Marsiling, Sembawang, and Yishun.
ESB stands for Ebbinghaus, Socratic, and Bruner. We use spaced repetition based on the Ebbinghaus memory curve to strengthen retention, Socratic questioning to develop critical thinking, and Bruner's scaffolding approach to build understanding from concrete to abstract concepts progressively.
Yes. We offer an Academy trial class (usually $18) with no obligations. During the trial, your child experiences our small-group teaching style, meets the teacher, and we assess their current level. Contact us via WhatsApp to book a convenient slot at Bishan or Woodlands.
We prepare students for all major Singapore examinations: PSLE for primary, O-Level and the new SEC examination for secondary, A-Level for JC, and IB assessments. Our preparation includes past-year paper practice, exam techniques, time management strategies, and targeted revision of weak topics.
