Alexis isn’t a shopping mall — it’s a freehold condo at 354/356 Alexandra Road, formerly the site of Alexandra Centre, with a small run of ground-floor shops tucked under 293 apartments. That’s a short commercial strip by mall standards, so it’s no surprise the tuition options here are just as compact: two centres, sharing one unit and one phone line, right on the corner of Alexandra Road near Queenstown.
We swept every listing in our database by actual coordinates rather than relying on category tags, and cross-checked the result against a competitor’s Alexandra Road enrichment directory. Nothing else on Alexandra Road registers as being genuinely inside Alexis — the next-nearest tuition centre is a separate HDB block almost 300 metres away. So this is a short list, not a padded one. Here’s what’s actually there.

1. I Can Read Education Centre (Alexis)
Address: 354 Alexandra Road, #01-17, Alexis, Singapore 159948
Phone: +65 3158 0523 | Website: sg.icanread.asia
I Can Read has been running for more than 25 years and says it has worked with upwards of 300,000 parents across roughly 25 centres in Singapore. The programme is built around linking sounds to letter clusters rather than whole-word memorisation, starting as early as age 2.5 and working toward independent reading by Primary 6. This branch shares unit #01-17 — and its phone line — with Yuexuele Chinese Tuition next door, so it’s worth telling reception which programme you’re calling about when you book.
- Preschool: English
- Primary: English
- Free trial class available

2. Yuexuele Chinese Tuition and Enrichment Center (Alexis)
Address: 354 Alexandra Road, #01-17 Alexis, Singapore 159949
Phone: +65 3158 0523 | Website: yuexuele.com
Yuexuele’s pitch on Chinese is that it should be spoken, not just copied down — lessons run on games and drama to get children using vocabulary out loud, and even dictation gets framed as an activity rather than a drill. The curriculum tracks MOE learning objectives from the preschool years through secondary. It’s the other half of unit #01-17: same address, same phone number as I Can Read above, so specify which centre you mean when you call.
- Preschool: Chinese
- Primary: Chinese
- Secondary: Chinese
- Free trial class available

Frequently Asked Questions
Are I Can Read and Yuexuele really at the same address?
Yes — both list 354 Alexandra Road, #01-17, Alexis, and both share the same phone number. They’re separate brands operating out of one shared unit, so mention which programme you want when you call to book a trial.
Is Alexis actually a mall?
No. Alexis is a freehold residential condominium completed in 2012, with a small strip of ground-floor shops rather than a full retail mall. The tuition centres occupy one of those shop units.
Which centre should I pick for English versus Chinese?
I Can Read focuses specifically on English reading, from age 2.5 through independent reading by Primary 6. Yuexuele covers Chinese language from preschool through secondary. If your child needs both, you’d be enrolling with both centres rather than one.
Do either of these centres offer a trial class?
Yes — both I Can Read and Yuexuele list a free trial class. Availability can change, so confirm directly with reception before you show up.
Is there parking at Alexis?
Alexis has a two-level basement carpark, but it’s built for the condo’s 293 residents rather than as public retail parking with posted hourly mall rates. If you’re driving in just for a lesson, it’s simpler to check with the centre about visitor parking access, or park at Anchorpoint or Queensway Shopping Centre nearby and walk over.
Can I get to Alexis without driving?
Yes — Queenstown MRT is roughly a 5-minute walk away, and Redhill MRT isn’t much further, so both centres are reachable on foot from either station.
About Alexis
Alexis sits at 354/356 Alexandra Road, on the site of what used to be Alexandra Centre before EC Prime Pte Ltd redeveloped it into a freehold condominium that received its TOP in 2012. It’s a modest development by Singapore standards — 293 residential units stacked above around 18 ground-floor shops, not a full-blown mall with anchor tenants and a directory board. That scale is exactly why the tuition options here are so limited: there’s simply less retail floor space to go around.
What it does have going for it is location. Alexis sits in the broader Alexandra/Commonwealth pocket of District 03, within easy reach of IKEA Alexandra, Anchorpoint, and Queensway Shopping Centre if you need to run other errands around a lesson.
Getting to Alexis: MRT & parking
By MRT: Queenstown MRT (EW19) on the East-West Line is the closest station, commonly cited as around a 5-minute walk (roughly 500m) from Alexis. Redhill MRT (EW18), one stop further down the line, is also within walking distance if Queenstown platforms are more crowded.
By bus: Alexandra Road is served by services including 51, 186, 195, and 970, with a stop near Alexis at “Opp Lea Hin Hardware Factory.”
By car: Alexis is on Alexandra Road, reachable via the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) with signage toward Alexandra Road/Queensway. The development runs a two-level basement carpark with around 310 lots, but this is condo parking built primarily for residents and their guests — there’s no published hourly commercial rate the way a mall would post one. If you’re just dropping in for a lesson, it’s worth asking the centre about visitor parking access in advance, or using the public parking at Anchorpoint or Queensway Shopping Centre a short walk away.
Prices, subjects, and trial class availability are updated periodically — always confirm directly with the centre before enrolling. Browse the full directory of Queenstown tuition centres for more options.
