River Valley sits between Orchard and the river, and its tuition options are mostly tucked into the malls along the way — Great World, UE Square, and the newer New Bahru development. It’s not a huge cluster of centres, but there’s a real mix here: enrichment-style franchises, a phonics-focused early learning centre, and a boutique English specialist.
We swept every listing categorised under “River Valley Tuition Centres” and kept every one that teaches Primary English. That left 5 centres. This is the real count from the data, not a rounded-up figure.
