Junction 10 sits at the corner of Choa Chu Kang Road and Woodlands Road, a short walk from the Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT interchange. It’s not the biggest mall in the west, but it’s got a genuine cluster of tuition centres on its second floor — six of them, covering everything from a preschooler’s first phonics class to A-Level Economics.
We checked every listing tagged to Bukit Panjang against its actual coordinates rather than trusting the category label alone, then cross-checked the result against the mall’s own site and third-party sources. All six centres below are confirmed inside the Junction 10 building at 1 Woodlands Road — nothing here is padded in from a neighbouring block. Here’s what each one offers.

1. Zenith Education Studio (Bukit Panjang)
Address: 1 Woodlands Rd, Junction 10, #01-10, Singapore 677903
Phone: +65 8768 7651 | Website: zenitheducationstudio.com
Zenith runs on discussion-based teaching rather than straight lecturing — students work through a topic together, then drill it with structured practice and mock exam questions before the teacher steps in one-on-one for anything that hasn’t clicked. The Bukit Panjang branch is aimed squarely at Secondary and JC students, with a subject list that stretches from Elementary Math up through A-Level Economics and General Paper, and a free trial class currently on offer for anyone who wants to sit in before committing.
- Primary: Science
- Secondary: Additional Math, Biology, Chemistry, Elementary Math, English, Math, Physics, Science
- JC: Biology, Chemistry, Economics, General Paper, Mathematics, Physics
- Free trial class available

2. Hanlin Centre
Address: 1 Woodlands Road, #02-05, Junction 10, Singapore 677899
Phone: +65 9088 4695 | Website: hanlin.co
Hanlin built its name on Chinese language teaching — small groups capped at around five students, taught by teachers from Beijing, with an individualised curriculum rather than one script for the whole class. What sets the Junction 10 branch apart from a pure language school is that it’s also grown into a fuller tuition centre: English and Math classes here are handled by NIE-trained teachers, so the subject spread now runs from preschool right through to JC Chemistry, all in-house materials included at no extra charge.
- Preschool: Chinese, English, Math
- Primary: Chinese, English, Math, Science
- Secondary: Additional Math, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, Elementary Math, English, Math, Physics, Science
- JC: Chemistry
- Free trial class available

3. Kumon (Junction 10)
Address: 1 Woodlands Road, Junction 10, #02-08, Singapore 677899
Phone: +65 6760 3911 | Website: sg.kumonglobal.com
Kumon doesn’t teach to a class level — every student starts from wherever their worksheets show they actually are, then moves up in small, self-paced steps, regardless of what grade they’re in at school. It’s the same method Kumon runs worldwide, built around daily practice rather than a weekly lecture, which makes it a fit for a child who needs steady repetition to close a gap, more than one looking for exam-technique coaching. The Junction 10 branch covers Chinese, English, and Math from preschool through secondary.
- Preschool: Chinese, English, Math
- Primary: Chinese, English, Math
- Secondary: Additional Math, Chinese, Elementary Math, English, Math, Science
4. MindChamps Enrichment Academy (Junction 10/Bukit Panjang)
Address: 1 Woodlands Road, #02-15, Junction 10, Singapore 677899
Phone: +65 6767 2381 | Website: mindchamps.org
MindChamps teaches off what it calls the Optimal Flow Method, built with input from neuroscience research (including work from Emeritus Professor Allan Snyder) on how children actually retain new information — the short version is that lessons deliberately link new material back to what a child already knows, rather than presenting each topic in isolation. At Junction 10 the programme is preschool-only, focused on English and phonics, and a free trial class is available if you want to see a session before signing up.
- Preschool: English, Phonics
- Free trial class available

5. PlayFACTO School (Junction 10)
Address: Junction 10, 1 Woodlands Rd, #02-18, Singapore 677899
Phone: +65 9773 4336 | Website: playfactoschool.com.sg
PlayFACTO’s Creative Math programme, co-developed with Korean education specialists, leans on manipulatives, storytelling, and games rather than worksheets — the idea being that a young child grasps a number concept faster by physically handling it than by reading it on a page. It’s an enrichment programme rather than a full tuition curriculum, aligned to roughly 80-90% of the MOE Preschool Guide’s math domains, which makes it best suited to a child who needs to build confidence with numbers before Primary 1 rather than one already behind on the school syllabus.
- Preschool: Math, Robotics
- Primary: Chinese, Math

6. You Cheng Education Center
Address: Junction 10, #02-19, 1 Woodlands Road, Singapore 677899
Phone: +65 8881 2752 | Website: youchengeducation.com
You Cheng is a Chinese-only specialist, splitting its classes by skill rather than teaching one blended lesson — separate tracks for spoken/comprehension basics, general enrichment, and composition-and-oral practice, with after-class review videos available for primary levels. It runs the full span from K1 kindergarten through Secondary 4, so a family can keep the same Chinese tutor for a child right through to the O-Levels.
- Preschool: Chinese
- Primary: Chinese
- Secondary: Chinese

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all six tuition centres actually inside Junction 10?
Yes — Zenith Education Studio, Hanlin Centre, Kumon, MindChamps Enrichment Academy, PlayFACTO School, and You Cheng Education Center are all located within the Junction 10 building at 1 Woodlands Road, spread across the ground and second floors. Nothing on this list is a nearby branch pulled in to pad the count.
Which centre covers the widest range of levels?
Hanlin Centre runs the broadest spread, from preschool through JC Chemistry. Zenith is close behind, covering Primary Science through to JC subjects like Economics and General Paper, but doesn’t teach preschool.
Is there a Chinese language specialist at Junction 10?
Two, actually — Hanlin Centre and You Cheng Education Center both focus heavily on Chinese, though Hanlin also runs English and Math classes, while You Cheng is Chinese-only from kindergarten through Secondary 4.
Which centre is best for a preschooler just starting out?
MindChamps Enrichment Academy and PlayFACTO School are both preschool-focused — MindChamps for English and phonics, PlayFACTO for a play-based introduction to math. Kumon and Hanlin also take preschoolers but run their programmes through to secondary level.
Do any of these centres offer a trial class?
Zenith, Hanlin, and MindChamps currently list a free trial class. PlayFACTO and You Cheng don’t list one — contact them directly to ask about a placement assessment instead. Kumon’s listing doesn’t specify trial availability either way, so it’s worth calling ahead. Availability can change, so confirm directly with any centre before enrolling.
How far is Junction 10 from Bukit Panjang MRT?
It’s a short walk — roughly 150 to 200 metres from the Bukit Panjang MRT/LRT interchange to the mall entrance, most of it under cover.
About Junction 10
Junction 10 opened in 1998 as Ten Mile Junction, a name that marked its location roughly ten miles from the city centre along Bukit Timah Road and Upper Bukit Timah Road. It originally had its own LRT stop built into the building — Ten Mile Junction station, on level 3 — though that station was permanently closed in January 2019 once the wider Bukit Panjang interchange took over. The mall closed for a major renovation in December 2010 and reopened in December 2011 under its current name, rebuilt as a mixed-use development alongside The Tennery, a private residential block of 338 SOHO-style loft apartments sitting above the retail podium.
It’s a modest-sized neighbourhood mall rather than a regional one, managed today by Far East Malls, with a mix of dining, everyday services, and — on the second floor — the run of tuition and enrichment centres covered above. For a parent doing the school-then-tuition run, the practical draw is straightforward: it’s small enough to not waste time walking between units, and close enough to the MRT/LRT interchange that a lesson doesn’t require a car.
Getting to Junction 10: MRT & parking
By MRT/LRT: Bukit Panjang MRT (DT1, Downtown Line) is the nearest station, with the adjoining Bukit Panjang LRT also at the same interchange. It’s about a 150-200m walk from the station to the mall.
By bus: Junction 10 is served directly by services 75, 160, 170, 170A, 178, 184, 960, 961, 961M, and 979, with a taxi stand at the main entrance along Woodlands Road.
By car: The mall is at 1 Woodlands Road, Singapore 677899, reachable via the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) or Kranji Expressway (KJE).
- Weekdays: first hour $1.31, then $0.38 per 15 minutes.
- Weekends & public holidays: first 2 hours $2.83, then $0.38 per 15 minutes.
- Motorcycles: $1.09 flat per entry, all days.
- Grace period: 10 minutes.
For a typical hour-long lesson on a weekday, budget around $1.31 if you’re out within the hour, or add one $0.38 block if you run slightly over. Rates are set by Far East Malls directly and can change, so it’s worth checking the carpark gantry or the mall’s own site before you go.
Prices, subjects, and trial class availability are updated periodically — always confirm directly with the centre before enrolling. Browse the full directory of Bukit Panjang tuition centres for more options.
