Victory Centre at 110 Lorong 23 Geylang isn’t a mall or a row of shophouses — it’s a seven-storey B1 light industrial building with 89 units, the kind with a full ramp-up design so vehicles can drive right up to individual floors. Not the first place you’d expect to find tuition, but two centres run out of the ground floor here, and a third sits two minutes away in the neighbouring SpacePlus building on Aljunied Road.
We checked every listing tagged to this stretch of Geylang against its actual coordinates rather than trusting the category label alone. Two centres are genuinely inside Victory Centre. A third is close enough — a two-minute walk, same side of Aljunied Road — that it’s worth including as a nearby option rather than leaving it out. Here’s what each one offers.

Inside Victory Centre
1. EduFirst Learning Centre (Aljunied)
Address: 110 Lorong 23 Geylang #01-07, Victory Centre, Singapore 388410
Phone: +65 8228 0780 | Website: edufirst.com.sg
EduFirst has been running since 2010, and its own materials point to two things it leans on: small classes of 4 to 8 students, and lessons built around actual exam patterns rather than a generic textbook pace. Math teaching works through heuristic problem-solving methods aligned to the current MOE syllabus, and English follows the same syllabus for comprehension technique and creative writing. With subjects running from preschool right through to secondary, including the full science and humanities spread, it’s a reasonable option if you want more than one child or subject covered under one roof.
- Preschool: English, Math
- Primary: Chinese, English, Math, Science
- Secondary: Additional Math, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, Elementary Math, English, Geography, History, Physics, Science
- No trial class currently listed — enquire directly for a placement assessment

2. PlayFACTO School (Aljunied)
Address: Victory Centre, 110 Lorong 23 Geylang #01-09, Singapore 388410
Phone: +65 9773 4336 | Website: playfactoschool.com.sg
PlayFACTO isn’t a worksheet-drilling centre — its Creative Math programme runs on more than 130 math games and hands-on manipulatives instead, aimed at children roughly 3 to 10 years old. The idea is to build number sense, geometry, measurement, and pattern recognition through play and storytelling before a child sees a formal exam paper. At the Victory Centre branch specifically, the subjects on offer are Math and Robotics at preschool level, and Chinese and Math at primary level.
- Preschool: Math, Robotics
- Primary: Chinese, Math
- No trial class currently available

3. Tutor Zhang Tuition Centre (Aljunied)
Address: 81 Aljunied Road, SpacePlus #07 (Level 7), Singapore 389823
Phone: +65 8072 9028 | Website: tutorzhang.com
Tutor Zhang sits roughly 140m from Victory Centre — a two-minute walk, one building over on Aljunied Road. Classes run small, 4 to 6 students, with lessons kept to the MOE syllabus and each student’s plan adjusted to their own pace rather than a fixed group curriculum. Parents can track progress through an app, which is a step beyond what a lot of smaller centres offer. It’s the only one of the three currently running a free trial class, which makes it a low-risk way to test the fit before committing.
- Primary: English, Math, Science
- Secondary: English, Math, Science
- Free trial class available

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all three tuition centres inside Victory Centre?
No — EduFirst Learning Centre and PlayFACTO School are both on the ground floor of Victory Centre at 110 Lorong 23 Geylang. Tutor Zhang Tuition Centre is next door in the SpacePlus building at 81 Aljunied Road, about a two-minute walk away.
Which centre offers a trial class?
Tutor Zhang Tuition Centre currently runs a free trial class. Neither EduFirst nor PlayFACTO list one — call ahead to ask about a placement assessment instead, since availability can change.
Is there a centre for a preschool-age child?
PlayFACTO School covers preschool Math and Robotics through play-based methods, and EduFirst also runs preschool English and Math. Tutor Zhang starts from Primary level.
Which centre covers secondary school subjects?
EduFirst has by far the widest secondary spread — Additional Math, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese, Elementary Math, English, Geography, History, Physics, and Science. Tutor Zhang also covers secondary English, Math, and Science, with smaller class sizes.
Is Victory Centre easy to reach without a car?
Yes. Aljunied MRT station (EW9) on the East-West Line is about a 4-5 minute walk away, and bus stop 80091 on Sims Avenue, right by Lorong 23, is served by services 13, 21, 51, 80, and 100.
About Victory Centre
Victory Centre doesn’t have the retail history of a mall — it’s a light industrial building, and its defining feature is functional rather than architectural. The seven-storey block holds 89 units and uses a full ramp-up design, meaning vehicles can drive directly up through the building to individual floors, a layout more associated with warehousing and small manufacturing than education. It sits on a 60-year leasehold and falls within Singapore’s District 14 (Eunos / Geylang / Paya Lebar) planning area.
That industrial character is exactly why two tuition operators have set up here: ground-floor units in a B1 building tend to be cheaper to lease than comparable retail space in a mall a few streets over, and Lorong 23 still sits close enough to the MRT and to Geylang’s residential blocks to draw families without a mall’s foot traffic.
- Ground-floor tuition cluster — EduFirst (#01-07) and PlayFACTO (#01-09) both operate from ground-level units, so there’s no lift ride involved for either.
- Vehicle ramp-up access — a feature built for cargo and light industry, though it also means it’s easy to pull up close to the building rather than trek from a distant car park.
- Residential surroundings — Victory Centre sits within Geylang’s residential blocks, an easy walk for families living nearby rather than a destination you’d drive across town for.
Getting to Victory Centre: MRT & parking
By MRT: Aljunied MRT station (EW9) on the East-West Line is the nearest stop, roughly 300m away — about a 4-5 minute walk. The station has two exits: Exit A toward Sims Avenue, and Exit B toward Aljunied Road; either works, since Lorong 23 Geylang connects to both streets.
By bus: Bus stop 80091 (“Sims Ave – Bef Lor 23 Geylang”), just outside the building, is served by services 13, 21, 51, 80, and 100.
By car: Victory Centre is off Sims Avenue via Lorong 23 Geylang, reachable from the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) or Aljunied Road. As a B1 industrial building, it runs its own on-site covered parking for tenants and visitors rather than a published mall tariff — check the gantry on arrival, or ask the centre you’re visiting for the current rate, since industrial building parking is typically metered per entry rather than capped like a shopping mall’s.
Prices, subjects, and trial class availability are updated periodically — always confirm directly with the centre before enrolling. Browse the full directory of Geylang Aljunied tuition centres for more options.
