What we hear
We hear these almost every week
Tell us where your child is stuck first — we can talk about classes after that. Ms Ding looks at the situation before suggesting a level.
Tell us about your child- He follows the lesson, but still can’t get a composition down.
- Her grade has sat at the same band for two years.
- He freezes when he has to speak, and avoids Chinese at home.
- We can’t tell whether Higher Chinese is still the right track.

The Teacher
Ms Ding Ruihong
Chinese Teacher · 25+ years
Ms Ding brings over 25 years of professional experience. She founded an early-childhood education company and large tuition and care centres spanning kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels, taught in government and private schools, and worked for many years in teaching and curriculum research. She has focused on primary and secondary Chinese tuition in Singapore for many years. She keeps every class small — no more than 3 students — and every year guides at least 1 to 3 students through the Chinese DSA route into Chinese Special Programme schools such as Hwa Chong Institution, Dunman High School, Nanyang Girls' High School, and River Valley High School. Most students stay with Ms Ding all the way from primary school into secondary school, with the longest so far having studied with her for over 5 years. Her teaching is highly tailored to each child, and parents are welcome to sit in on a free trial lesson alongside their child — only once you understand and embrace her teaching approach can it truly work twice as well with half the effort.
