Tongxin Tutorial Center provides a comprehensive English learning environment where students acquire extensive knowledge of the proper uses of English. We comprehensively cover the different aspects of English: Writing, Reading and Speaking. More importantly, we help our students build confidence, nurture creativity and implement a positive learning attitude.

One of our specialities here at Tongxin is our capability of offering extensive English Literature classes, whether it is poetry, novels, plays our teacher here is able to explore every piece in depth offering insightful discussions with students on the form and beauty of a piece, deciphering its intellectual and emotional appeal.

Many students, regardless of international or local tend to struggle with writing due to lack of practice. Here at Tongxin we strongly believe in the power of writing as it can flourish a student’s self-expression and here we aim to do it accurately and effortlessly. To approach this, we teach writing in stages starting from widening vocabulary to formulating proper sentence and grammatical structures, and finally, to writing paragraphs and essays of different types, ranging from creative, persuasive, informative and finally literacy. Of course, every student is unique and so is their needs; our teachers make sure to cater their teaching plans specifically in accordance to what each individual requires.

At Tongxin, we teach reading in the goal of instilling students not only the skills for comprehending passages from different genres but the initiative to read for leisure. Nurturing the hobby of reading is crucial as it is not only entertainment, it is a core requirement for building a wide vocabulary knowledge with lessons of grammar and writing styles infused within. The materials for reading are tailor-made to the interests of the students and standards required from them. Reading exercises range from comprehension exercises to essay writing of different genres.

Speaking with clear articulation and intonation is without double every students aim, our teachers here don’t only strive to achieve the basics but also presentation skills and confidence building. Ample time is given both to the teaching of speaking, as implied by the teachers use of English and explained clearly to the student when needed, and to the students' practising speaking on their own.

All tuitions are structured under the syllabi of the student's school and/or as needed: IGCSE, DSE, IB, SAT , A-Levels, AP and so on. The student’s ability and preferences permitting, our goal is to accelerate the learning place beyond that of their respective schools to give them the opportunity to advance further and better understand previous and future knowledge.
