Frequently Asked Questions
Which centre in Kallang Whampoa teaches more than just Chinese at Preschool level?
Kumon at City Square Mall is the only one on this list combining Preschool Chinese with English and Math. The other five centres — Hua Cheng, Hcl, and the three Zhengfei branches — teach Chinese exclusively.
Can I book a trial class before enrolling?
Based on current listings, none of the five Chinese-specialist centres (Hua Cheng, Hcl, and the three Zhengfei outlets) have a trial class available. Kumon’s listing doesn’t specify trial availability, so it’s worth calling ahead to check.
Are there multiple Zhengfei branches in this area?
Yes. Zhengfei Cultural Education Centre runs three separate outlets in Kallang Whampoa — at 22 Boon Keng Road, 2C Boon Keng Road, and 105 Jalan Rajah — all under the same phone number and offering the same Chinese-only curriculum from Preschool to Secondary.
Do these centres teach beyond Preschool?
All six centres on this list teach Preschool through Secondary Chinese. None of them list JC-level Chinese subjects.
Where are most of these centres located?
Two are based at City Square Mall (Kumon and Hua Cheng), one at Zhongshan Mall (Hcl), and three across the Boon Keng Road / Jalan Rajah HDB estates (the Zhengfei branches).
Prices, subjects, and trial class availability are updated periodically — always confirm directly with the centre before enrolling. Browse the full directory of Kallang Whampoa tuition centres for more options.
