Read more centre to anyone looking for a great place for their child to learn English. Our child truly enjoys attending classes here — the teachers are caring, responsible, and friendly, and they make learning both effective and enjoyable. We’ve seen great improvement and confidence in our child’s English skills since joining LCentral. The staff are also very professional and helpful, always keeping parents updated and assisting promptly whenever we need to reschedule classes. We are really thankful for their dedication and support. We’re very happy to be part of the LCentral Punggol family and truly appreciate everything the team has done for our child.

If your child starts learning English early, around age 4, LCentral can be a good place to build a foundation. However, if your child joins later like mine did, I... Read more However, if your child joins later like mine did, I would not recommend it. My daughter started in K2 and was first placed in the LaunchPad programme. She was only promoted to Liftoff when she entered Primary 1, and only offered Success 1 after we decided to withdraw from the school recently. By then, she was already struggling with her schoolwork. One key issue I’ve observed is that LCentral does not follow a child’s actual school level or age, but instead decides placement purely based on whether the child is “ready” for a certain level. When my daughter first joined, she was assessed to determine if she could “qualify” for her level class. After that initial test, there was no proper follow-up plan — no bridging lessons, no crash course, and no clear guidance for parents on how to help the child catch up. The school simply kept her in the same class as others who had been in the system much longer. As a result, she never learned essential skills like composition writing, grammar, or comprehension techniques, which are already expected of Primary 1 students under the MOE syllabus. Only after I raised my concerns did the school arrange another assessment with the Primary-level teacher to check if she was “ready” to move up to Success 1. They even asked me, as the parent, to sit in and review her progress. But frankly, I don’t need a tuition centre to tell me whether my child is “ready” — I enrolled her precisely so that the teachers could help her become ready and confident in school. I sincerely feel that LCentral’s curriculum is not well aligned with MOE standards and does not effectively support students who join later. Instead of helping children bridge their learning gaps, the system seems to leave them behind. I’ve decided to end her lessons this term and move her to another centre that can better support her progress.

It's a joy to witness his growing confidence and curiosity. Your thoughtful guidance and engaging teaching methods have clearly made a lasting impact. Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment where he feels encouraged to learn and explore. We’re truly grateful for the support and dedication you've shown.
