At Hua Sheng Learning Centre, we embrace the concept of small class teaching, which means that our classes typically accommodate approximately 10 to 12 students. The specific number of students in each class is determined based on the available classroom space.

Assignments are primarily completed during our class sessions. In cases where the weekly workload becomes substantial, teachers may assign a portion of multiple-choice questions as homework. Composition and comprehension tasks are tackled during class time. Following grading, teachers review the worksheets with the class in the subsequent week. At home, students are encouraged to review their oral notes, practice spelling and dictation, and address any corrections from previous worksheets.

Hua Sheng Learning Centre is an extracurricular language education center located in Singapore, catering to students ranging from Nursery 2 to Secondary 4. We offer a dynamic, interactive, and enjoyable learning environment for our students, providing personalized attention tailored to their unique needs. Our mission at Hua Sheng Learning Centre is to inspire and nurture the motivation of each student, in line with our belief: “Study Chinese, Yes We Can!”

Our journey began in 2007 at Marine Parade Eastgate, and since then, we have expanded our presence to encompass 10 locations across Singapore.

Hua Sheng Learning Centre is registered with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and has developed a structured and challenging curriculum for teaching the Chinese language. This curriculum is regularly updated to align with the MOE syllabus. For our Primary 1 to Primary 4 students, we follow the Higher Chinese curriculum while also integrating elements from the Normal Chinese curriculum. For our Primary 5 to Secondary 4 students, our curriculum is divided into distinct Higher Chinese and Normal Chinese classes.
