Novena has a decent cluster of tuition centres, spread across United Square, Square 2, and Goldhill Plaza, with a mix of large enrichment chains and dedicated Chinese-language schools. If you’re after Primary Chinese specifically, not every centre in the area offers it — some stick to English and Math only.
We swept every listing categorised under “Novena” in our directory and kept every single one that teaches Primary Chinese. That gives us 10 centres — a real count, not rounded, not filtered for anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Novena centres teach Chinese at Preschool level too, not just Primary?
Mind Stretcher, Hua Language Centre, Hi Chinese Education Centre, Global Education, Nili Chinese Learning, Zhou’s Academic Studio, and Wang Learning Centre all list Chinese (or a broader curriculum including Chinese) at Preschool level. Aspire Hub, Mindchamps, and HAO Chinese Tuition Centre start from Primary.
Are there centres that teach Chinese all the way to JC?
Global Education is the only one on this list with a JC offering, though its JC subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Economics, General Paper, Mathematics, and Physics — Chinese itself is offered at Primary and Secondary there, not JC.
Which centres offer a free trial class for Primary Chinese?
HAO Chinese Tuition Centre and Nili Chinese Learning both list a free trial class. Zhou’s Academic Studio offers a paid trial. The rest either list no trial class or don’t specify.
Do any of these centres teach other subjects alongside Chinese?
Yes. Mind Stretcher, Aspire Hub, Mindchamps, and Global Education all pair Chinese with English, Math, and Science (and more at Secondary/JC level for some). Hua Language Centre, Hi Chinese Education Centre, HAO Chinese Tuition Centre, Nili Chinese Learning, Zhou’s Academic Studio, and Wang Learning Centre are Chinese-only.
Where in Novena are most of these centres located?
United Square and Goldhill Plaza each host several centres on this list, with Square 2 and Novena Regency also represented. HAO Chinese Tuition Centre’s listed address is on Balestier Road, just outside the immediate Novena MRT area but still grouped under the Novena directory category.
Prices, subjects, and trial class availability are updated periodically — always confirm directly with the centre before enrolling. Browse the full directory of Novena tuition centres for more options.
