Welcome to A Class Act

About Us

A Class Act is a boutique English Language Centre, nestled in the heart of Somerset, Singapore. With a strong team of highly experienced, and passionate former MOE teachers and English Head of Departments, A Class Act commits to being nurturing and student-centered. Our classes are kept small, our teachers dedicated and our lessons structured, yet engaging.

We’ve leveraged on the expertise of past MOE and School-based Curriculum Planners to curate the best teaching practices and design a Curriculum that will bring out the potential of our young learners, no matter where they’re at, to become excellent communicators of the English Language.

Our Story and Vision

Former colleagues-turned-friends, the founders of A Class Act, share a joint passion for Education and the English Language. In their long careers as educators, the students they  have taught, blossomed under their tutelage, many of which, were able to gain entrance into highly sought-after schools and eventually becoming scholarship recipients.

Having spent close to two decades teaching, they have a profound understanding of the barriers young learners face in mastering writing and speaking; and how much they benefit from close interaction with teachers. This understanding, provided them the vision of developing small classes aimed at overcoming those barriers through a systematic approach. Their belief is that anyone can become confident and proficient in speaking and writing with proper guidance.

“Great writers and speakers are not born, they are nurtured and trained”

Our Teaching Philosophy and Approach

At A Class Act, lessons are designed with these four blocks in mind. With an equal emphasis on content creation and developing language flair.

Programs

Building Blocks (P1-P2)

Grammar and Creative Writing

Our 1.5-hr Lesson for Primary 1 and 2-hr Lesson for Primary 2 students will focus on building their language skills for writing. Using adapted texts from various books, we will strengthen their ability to construct sentences by teaching grammar explicitly.

We want to cultivate a love for writing in our little ones. Relatable writing tasks are given at the start of the year to encourage them to write. Towards the end of the year, writing topics will gradually be aligned to school-based questions.

We will explore themes in detail using a good mix of fiction and non-fiction texts to provide students with ample examples and ideas to develop their stories. At the same time, using these texts to teach reading skills and answering techniques for both comprehension and cloze comprehension.

Our students will be taught skills and techniques such as plot development, characterisation, tension building and literary devices to add colour to their writing.

BE INSPIRED (Be like a writer, think like one!)

Holiday Workshop Series

Every term break, our teachers believe it is important for students to break away from the confined boundaries of school-based writing. We select a series of authors to inspire our students to write like them. Using themes within these author’s books to not only teach writing techniques but also to get our students to think critically. Each day of our holiday writing program, our students will analyse and reflect the various styles of writing, emulate these writing skills to apply into their creations. At the end of the workshop, their progress would be documented in a writer’s journal and finally presented as a book.
