Tiong Bahru has a fair spread of tuition centres for a residential estate its size, clustered mostly around Tiong Bahru Plaza and Central Plaza, with a couple more tucked into HarbourFront and Bukit Ho Swee. For parents starting early, the question is which of these actually teach Preschool English rather than jumping straight to primary-level work.
We swept every listing categorised under “Tiong Bahru” on this directory and kept every single one that lists Preschool English as a subject. The count below is real, not rounded up or trimmed for a tidier headline — it’s exactly what the data returned.
