By Primary 6, students are expected to master 1,800–2,000 Chinese words — a steep challenge, especially for children from non-Chinese-speaking homes, where daily practice is limited.
What’s more, in large school classes, your child may struggle to keep up with the fast-paced lessons, covering 15-20 new words at a time.
This can lead them to:
At MandarinStars, we understand these challenges, and we’re here to help them with our proven, child-focused approach — built specifically for students scoring AL5–AL7, or those simply struggling to pass their Chinese Mother Tongue exams.

While other centres may focus on cramming in as many new words as possible each lesson, at MandarinStars, we prioritise depth over speed — ensuring that students truly understand, retain, and confidently use what they learn.
We’re not just preparing your child to succeed in primary school. We’re building a strong foundation that carries them through secondary school and beyond.
Our ultra-small class size allows teachers to identify each child’s pace and needs.
Children are grouped by similar reading and writing proficiency, so your child is not placed in a class that moves too fast or too slow for them.
This low-pressure, high-support environment gives children the freedom to:
In this setting, our teachers can adapt on the spot, offering real-time feedback, targeted support, and encouragement that simply isn’t possible in a crowded classroom.
This way, your child gets the exact help they need, right when they need it.

At MandarinStars, we don’t just “teach Chinese.”
We equip students with specific, high-impact skills across all components of the primary Chinese curriculum — so they can learn with confidence, express themselves clearly, and succeed in exams and beyond!
Here’s how we break it down:
Reading is more than just recognising words — it’s about understanding the meaning and being able to respond accurately.
We teach students to identify key ideas, infer meaning, and answer comprehension questions effectively, building a strong foundation for confident reading and understanding.
Fluent speaking isn’t just about talking — it’s about expressing thoughts clearly and with confidence.
We focus on improving pronunciation, sentence structure, and emotional expression, helping students become comfortable and articulate in Mandarin, even during oral exams.
Creative writing requires both imagination and structure.
We guide students through the process of brainstorming, organising their thoughts, and writing clear, engaging compositions to help them express ideas effectively and creatively.
