    Hi parents, Disclosure: I’m a Singapore parent and the creator of 妙笔华文 Wonder Chinese. I started building this app for my own son because he could recognise some Chinese words, but struggled to construct complete sentences and use descriptive expressions naturally. After practising with the app, I have seen a clear improvement in his writing. For the same scene or situation, he can now think of more ways to describe the character’s feelings, expressions and actions, instead of repeatedly using simple words such as 开心, 难过 or 害怕. For example, instead of only writing: 老师表扬我,我很开心。 He is learning to write: 听见老师表扬我,我高兴得眉开眼笑,脚步也轻快起来。 More importantly, he is beginning to understand that the same feeling can be expressed in different ways. Depending on the situation, he may use an expression, action or physical reaction rather than simply naming the emotion. That improvement encouraged me to develop the app further and make it available to other families. The aim is not to give children one model answer to memorise. Wonder Chinese guides them step by step—from understanding and handwriting useful words to constructing sentences and developing short paragraphs. Children can practise: Listening to and understanding vocabulary Handwriting Chinese with a stylus or handwriting input Building sentences in the correct order Using expressions in suitable situations Improving their own sentences with personalised guidance Revising previously learnt words through Memory Challenges Exercises are adjusted from P1 to P6, with Singapore settings and English explanations in key areas. Parents can also see the child’s actual attempts, writing feedback and suggested next steps. I’ve opened the complete first topic as a free trial. There is no payment required, and you can start by simply selecting your child’s level. Try it here: https://miaobichinese.com I would genuinely appreciate feedback from parents: Was the selected level suitable for your child? Which activity did your child find most useful? What does your child struggle with most in Chinese writing? I’m continuing to improve the app based on feedback from Singapore parents, pupils and teachers.

    Hi everyone! I’m Lisa, a final year student in NUS and a primary school tutor. My friends and I started a volunteer-led program to support the community. We’ll be running free advanced mathematics lessons (P4-P6), and the program will run from Feb 2027 to Dec 2027. We believe that high ability students need more than just foundational programmes to fully utilise their academic potential. Coupled with a structured learning programme that typical volunteer tuition programmes don’t really offer, our differentiated environment with scaling difficulty levels encourage higher-level thinking within teams. We’re looking to gather interest in this program by September 15, so If you’re interested for your child to join, you can indicate your interest early here! https://catapultclub.notion.site/3c0420cd7e6a807b870ef0e855e6cbce?pvs=105 Check out our notion website for more information! https://catapultclub.notion.site/Catapult-Club-1cc420cd7e6a8383a99e016635c95222
  • Choosing a secondary school? Talk about school options, cut-off points, and what your child’s PSLE results mean for their next step.

  • Stay connected with parents from the same secondary school. Share updates, ask questions, and support one another — even as our teens grow more independent.

  • Secondary school comes with new subjects, greater expectations, and teen-sized challenges. Use this space to discuss academic support, subject combinations, and more.

  • What comes after secondary school? Whether your teen is heading to JC, poly, ITE, or exploring another path, this is the space to talk about courses, admissions, and life in tertiary education.

    Re: PSLE Discussions and Strategies DEAR PARENTS, We’re the team behind ##### Pickytic.ai, full transparency, this is our official account. We’re not pretending to be regular users. We wanted to introduce ourselves properly before anything else. WHY WE BUILD THIS We kept hearing the same things from students and parents: “I study every night but my score never moves.” “I only find out what I’m weak at during the actual exam.” “I have no idea if what my child is doing is actually working.” Doing more papers doesn’t fix the problem. It just keeps you busy. The students who actually improve are the ones who know exactly which topics are pulling their marks down and drill those specifically. Not randomly. Not by gut feel. WHAT PICKYTIC DOES We built an AI that tells you exactly this, after every single practice session: → What you’ve already mastered → What still needs work → What to focus on next On top of that: Real exam simulations: Timed, pressured, exactly like the actual thing. So exam day isn’t a shock. Progress tracking: So improvement isn’t just a feeling. Students and parents can both see it clearly. Gamified practice: Because staring at ten-year-series papers gets old fast. We made it actually engaging. It covers all Primary and Secondary levels, not just PSLE and O-levels, but every level, every term. Honest question for you to think of:bolded text Whether you’re a student or a parent, do you actually know which specific topics are costing you marks right now? Not just “I’m weak at Maths.” But which part of Maths. Which question type. Which concept. That gap between knowing your weak subject and knowing your weak topic is usually what decides whether you improve or plateau. We’d love to hear what subject or topic is giving you the most trouble right now. We’ll give genuinely useful advice, not just a pitch. We’re a Singapore team. We understand the PSLE and O-level pressure well. We built this because we genuinely believe there’s a better way to prepare than just doing more papers. link text[image: 1780807227377-pickytic_logo.jpg]

    Hi, our family is moving to a new place and seems like the school bus do not service the area we’re moving to. Apart from getting my child to take the public transport home, what are the other options we have? Appreciate all suggestions! Thank you!
