Questions about Primary 5 English
How much does a lesson cost?
$50 per lesson for Primary 1 to 3, $55 for Primary 4 to 5 and $60 for Primary 6, for every subject and at both centres. A trial lesson is $20. Full details are on the fees page.
How does the $20 trial lesson work?
Your child joins a real class of six or fewer for one full lesson, at either centre. The teacher then shares what they noticed and whether the class is the right fit. There is no obligation to continue, and no sales talk.
How many students are in a WhaleYou class?
Never more than six. Every Primary 1 to 6 class at WhaleYou Learning is capped at 6 students with one teacher, at both Beauty World Centre and Alexandra Central. If a class is full we open a new one or waitlist; we do not add a seventh chair.
Can siblings at different levels attend at the same time?
Often, yes. Because all four subjects and all six levels run at each centre, we try to place siblings in classes that run at the same time so parents make one trip. Tell us the levels when you book and we will look at the timetable together.
Do you teach composition writing?
Yes. Composition planning, structure and vocabulary are part of every English class from Primary 3, and PSLE Paper 1 (situational and continuous writing) practice starts in Primary 5. Marked compositions come back with specific fixes, not just a grade.
