IB Chinese Tuition Centres in Singapore
IB offers Chinese at three levels. Chinese A (Literature, or Language and Literature) is for students who are fluent. Chinese B, at SL or HL, is for students with some prior learning. Mandarin ab initio is an SL course for beginners. Getting the course right matters, so a centre that teaches your child's exact course is a good place to start.
What IB Chinese covers
- Chinese B: reading, listening and writing papers built around five themes, plus an individual oral.
- Mandarin ab initio: everyday language for beginners, with characters, vocabulary and simple writing tasks.
- Chinese A: literary analysis, comparative essays and an individual oral, in Chinese.
Choosing an IB Chinese tuition centre
Check that the centre teaches your child's exact course and level (SL or HL), and ask how much help it gives with the internal assessment. IB schools in Singapore sit either the May or the November exam session, so ask whether the timetable fits your child's session. Class size and whether a trial lesson is offered are worth comparing too; both are shown on each listing.
