Yanzi Mandarin - Chinese Tuition & Enrichment (Katong Branch)

I have been learning from 林老师 since I was secondary 2 in 2021. Although I am taking the IB curriculum, she has been adaptive, patient and supportive towards me, tailoring each class to suit the content I needed. The techniques and skills she introduced helped me consistently achieve high scores in HL Chinese, with 28/30 for all my compos over the past 2 years. Her clear and structured teaching style not only made learning Chinese much easier but also deepened my interest in the subject. I am very grateful to 林老师 and highly recommend her!

I joined Yanzi Chinese Tuition just a month ago, and the progress I’ve made has been remarkable—my scores have jumped from 35/70 to consistently above 55/70. The tuition is extremely well-structured and focused on helping students excel specifically in the O-Level Chinese syllabus. The materials provided are of outstanding quality, including in-depth notes, carefully selected vocabulary lists, top-scoring model essays, and step-by-step guidance on how to approach each component of the exam, from comprehension and summary to composition and oral. These resources are regularly updated and aligned with the latest exam trends, making it easy to follow and revise efficiently. The teachers are not only highly qualified but also genuinely passionate about teaching; they go the extra mile to ensure every student keeps up, often staying back after class to offer individual support and clarify doubts. Their feedback is always constructive and personalised, helping me understand exactly where and how to improve. The classroom environment is another strong point—it is calm, focused, and respectful, yet still friendly and encouraging, which makes learning much more effective. Overall, Yanzi Chinese Tuition strikes a rare balance between academic rigour and student support, and I would highly recommend it to any student who is serious about improving their Chinese grades and gaining real confidence in the subject.

I joined Yanzi Chinese Tuition in Secondary 3, when I was really struggling with my Chinese and only scoring around a C5. With the patient guidance of the teachers and their dedication, I was able to improve steadily, and eventually achieved a B3 for my O-Levels! The teachers are very caring and always willing to explain concepts clearly, no matter how many times I asked. The notes and learning materials they provide are extremely useful, well-structured, and make it so much easier to understand and apply what I’ve learned. I’m really grateful for the support and encouragement I received at Yanzi Chinese Tuition. It made a big difference in my confidence and results. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to improve their Chinese!

I used to consistently fail Chinese in Secondary 3 until my senior recommended that I join Yanzi. After joining Yanzi, my scores improved drastically, and I began scoring at least an A2 in every exam. I find Yanzi effective because the materials the teachers use are very concise and straight to the point. The teachers are not only strict about the quality of our work, but they also care about their students’ wellbeing. Whenever a student falls behind, the teacher makes sure that he or she catches up with the rest of the class. Even if it means sacrificing her rest time, the teacher will always go the extra mile to help her students. I remember that as my Chinese O Levels drew nearer, I was extremely nervous and had little confidence that I would do well. However, my Yanzi teacher constantly encouraged me and reminded me that she believed in me, which motivated me to keep going. During that period, I would often text my teachers and visit the centre several times a week to submit practice papers. Despite her busy schedule, my teacher still marked all my work and gave me detailed feedback, including tips and strategies to handle different types of essays and Paper 2 questions. Another thing I like about Yanzi Tuition Centre is its small class size, which makes it much easier for students to speak up and ask questions. All in all, I would definitely recommend Yanzi Tuition Centre.
