1 In 3 Students Attain PSLE AL1 Scores At This Tuition Centre, Here's Why Parents Keep Choosing Them

Sassy Mama27-05-2025

As parents, we want to support our kids the best we can. Finding the right help at The Learning Lab can make all the difference.
If your child is in primary school, you'll know that PSLE is a huge milestone for both the child and the parents. Effective PSLE prep can do wonders, not just to give your child a confidence boost, but also to allow parents to focus on being supportive. For many parents, The Learning Lab is the key to a smooth PSLE journey. With more than 20 years of experience under their belt, a thoughtful teaching approach that helps students build a strong academic foundation and a genuine love for learning, it's no wonder so many families continue to return to The Learning Lab.
A track record that speaks for itself – but it's more than just grades
It's the results that first catch our eye: 1 in 3 students scored AL1 in English, Math or Science in the 2024 PSLEs. Half of their students scored a PSLE Achievement Level of 8 or lower, and 60% scored AL1 or AL2 in the subjects they received support at The Learning Lab. But what sets it apart? They've got a magic spark that makes students excited to learn. Lessons at The Learning Lab aren't about drilling information. Instead, they are crafted to spark curiosity and build deeper thinking. With resources like retrieval practices and error analysis worksheets, students become more independent and resilient, skills that will help them thrive beyond the exam hall.
Classroom materials at The Learning Lab are carefully crafted by 40 in-house curriculum specialists. Everything is aligned with the MOE syllabus, but it's standouts like the 'Staying Plugged In' (SPI) curriculum series that takes learning one step further. Real-world events such as Polling Day or the wildfires in L.A. are integrated into lessons, cultivating a global perspective in young learners to show them that what they are learning matters.
'My children look forward to their lessons every week,' says Mr Alvin Lian, dad of two students from The Learning Lab. 'Often, they are excited to share the things they have learned from their lessons!' he explained, noting that he's observed how his sons think critically and deeply about issues around them.
Personalised teaching that meets your child where they are
On top of their effective curriculum, the teachers at The Learning Lab take the time to understand the child, their learning habits, strengths and areas where they need additional support. It's this personalised approach that can give your child the boost they need, not just academically, but in how they approach learning altogether.
As Primary 6 student Sarah Choong puts it, 'I found the notes really helpful. One thing I really took away from my lessons with TLL was the importance of flexibility […] I realised that learning is not really about memorising. Even though I read as much as I could, what I really really appreciated [was] learning how to fit examples into my work in a proper way.'
With committed teachers, a well-designed curriculum and an environment that builds confidence, The Learning Lab helps students not just meet, but exceed their goals. And the shift in learning mindset? That's priceless. If you've been looking for that extra edge and a place where your child will feel supported, challenged and inspired, look no further than The Learning Lab.

Millions sit China's high-stakes university entrance exam

Students queue to enter a school during China's National College Entrance Examination outside a high school in Beijing on June 7. PHOTO: AFP BEIJING - Hopeful parents accompanied their teenage children to the gates of a busy Beijing test centre on June 7, among millions of high school students across China sitting their first day of the highly competitive university entrance exam. Nationwide, 13.35 million students have registered for the multi-subject 'gaokao' series in 2025, according to the Ministry of Education, down from 2024's record-high 13.42 million test takers. Outside the central Beijing secondary school, a proud parent who gave her name as Chen said '12 years of hard work have finally led to this moment' – as she waved a fan in front of her daughter while the student reviewed her notes one last time before the test. 'We know our kids have endured so much hardship,' Ms Chen told AFP, adding that she was not nervous. 'I'm actually quite excited. I think my child is excellent, and I'm sure she will get the best score,' she said. China's gaokao requires students to use all their knowledge acquired to this point, testing them on subjects including Chinese, English, mathematics, science and humanities. The exam results are critical for gaining admission to university – and determining whether they will attend a prestigious or more modest institution. While teachers and staff offered students their support, holding up signs of encouragement, some test takers, dressed in school uniforms, appeared panicked, including a girl with tears in her eyes. 'There's no need for us parents to add pressure. The children are already under a lot of it,' said a woman named Ms Wang, whose son had just entered the exam hall. Like many mothers, she wore a traditional Chinese qipao in hopes of bringing good luck. 'I hope my son achieves immediate success and gets his name on the (list of high-scoring candidates),' Ms Wang said with a smile. Higher education has expanded rapidly in China in recent decades as an economic boom pushed up living standards – as well as parents' expectations for their children's careers. But the job market for young graduates remains daunting. As of April, 15.8 per cent of people aged 16 to 24 living in urban areas were unemployed, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Due to this pressure, many Chinese students prepare for the gaokao from a young age, often with extra lessons after the regular school day. 'Safe gaokao' And every year, education authorities are on guard against cheating and disruptions during the exam. This week, China's Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang called for a 'safe gaokao', stressing the importance of a rigorous campaign against cheating. Areas around exam centres are closely guarded by police, with road lanes closed to traffic and several cities banning motorists from honking their horns so as not to disrupt the concentration of students. In some schools, facial recognition is even used to prevent fraud. While the university admission rate for gaokao test takers has exceeded 80-90 per cent in recent years, many students disappointed with their results choose to repeat the exam. As there is no age limit for the test, some have become notorious for attempting the exam dozens of times, either after failing it or not getting into their top-choice university. One teacher at the Beijing school where parents saw off their children on June 7 estimated that only about 10 of the approximately 600 final-year students there would earn a place at one of the capital's top universities. Mr Jiang, a final-year high school student who only gave one name, said he dreamt of attending a Beijing university, and was remaining calm shortly before his Chinese exam. 'Even though the pressure is intense, it's actually quite fair,' he told AFP. 'I feel like all the preparations that needed to be made have been made, so there's really no point in being nervous now, right? 'Whatever happens, happens. It's truly not something I can completely control.' AFP Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

TBR (To Be Read): What the late Ngugi wa Thiong'o, who rejected English, can teach Singapore

Kenyan author Ngugi wa Thiong'o wrote Devil On The Cross (1980), his first novel in his native Gikuyu language, in prison on toilet paper. PHOTO: REUTERS SINGAPORE – One Wednesday evening in 2017, when I was a literature undergraduate, Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o – who famously stopped writing in English and switched defiantly to his native Gikuyu – made an appearance on campus and said something that has troubled me since. He was almost 80, subdued in manner, and often dropped the kind of pithy sentence that inspired not applause but reverential silence, then scribbling. To the Singapore audience, he had said: 'If you know all the languages of the world, but not your mother tongue, that is enslavement.'

‘Can you say that in English?' Why a common tongue matters

Language should never be a barrier, but a bridge to connect us. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: UNSPLASH In May, I walked into my daughter's recent Parents' Day celebration in her pre-school with one worry on my mind – that I would be the oldest parent there among those in their 20s and 30s. However, during the course of the event, something else made me even more uncomfortable. One of the teachers kept switching between Mandarin and English when conducting an activity and interacting with parents. Join ST's WhatsApp Channel and get the latest news and must-reads.
