Teacher Eileen Wong with one of our 1,800 students across Singapore.
Hi Parents,
My name is Eileen Wong, Founder of Speed Chinese.
As a Masters graduate in Chinese Language and Literature from Beijing Normal University (one of the top 10 universities in China),
I have spent a good part of the last 20 years teaching Chinese to students from all ages.
Every year, my team of 20+ teachers work with more than 2,000 students to improve their marks in the Chinese exams, and scoring A/A* in Chinese.
Despite my extensive background in the Chinese language...
"I Was At My Wit’s End On How To Help My Children In Chinese."
You see, my children grew up in an English speaking family, where they are regularly exposed to the English language.
I would ask them something in Chinese and they would reply to me in English.
Over time, they become less and less interested in learning Chinese.
The more I pressed my children to read or write in Chinese, the more it made my kids hate the language.
They found Chinese boring and often kicked up a fuss when they had to practice Chinese reading or writing.
I was completely stuck on what to do to help my child.
I’m sure many of you can relate to my personal experience as a parent.
All I knew was how to teach my children the same way my parents and teachers taught me.
You May Be Facing These Problems Too!
I realised that there was a few common problems that my children as well as many parents faced.
They’re able to converse in Chinese but are unable to recognise and apply Chinese characters during exams despite constant practice on dozens of past year exam papers (reading, writing)
Try as they might, they can’t understand what their teachers are going through during lessons and get more confused as time goes by due to a lack of practical and exact feedback.
They have no idea how to tackle comprehension and composition questions and as a result, have incomplete sentences or just a few sentences written.
Children that come from English-speaking families will rarely speak Chinese at home and as such, have less exposure to the use of the Chinese language.
I knew I needed to find a...
Faster, Easier & Much More Efficient Way To Learn Chinese!
For the sake of my children and the many parents that are looking for a solution,
I had the idea to start researching better methods to teach children Chinese. I threw away all I knew about learning and teaching Chinese, deciding to start again from scratch.
I travelled to countries such as China, Taiwan and Hong Kong to learn from the top educators in each country and conducted in-depth studies on hundreds of language acquisition.
Through my travels and talking to various top educators, I discovered some shocking revelations…
Learning Chinese had little to do with the amount of practice, or how much the child liked the language...
The root problem actually comes from many teachers & tutors still using…
Slow And Ineffective Methods Of Teaching Chinese
We designed a programme to help students learn Chinese in a much fast and more effective way.
This is the reason why you might have heard your child’s teacher say things like“read more”, “write more” or even “watch more Chinese shows”.
These may be useful advice for some children that are already relatively adept at Chinese,
For many children, this advice alone is hardly enough information for them to improve in a short amount of time.
5 years into my search, I came upon an idea of incorporating brain-based strategies into learning Chinese.
I took more than 10 years of tweaks and adjustments to my strategies and testing my methods in multiple primary schools and centres.
I finally “perfected” my methodology in teaching children (even those from non-Chinese backgrounds).
Introducing...
The Speed Chinese Methodology
With this brand new methodology...
Your child will be able to learn an easier, and more efficient way to greatly improve his/her Chinese in just 2 months or less, regardless of their previous grades.
In fact, by mastering even just 1-2 techniques in the methodology,
Your child will have the knowledge and tools necessary to jump their grades by 10-15 marks in their Chinese papers in just 1 month…
Our students love our Speed Chinese programme because it helps them improve within a short period of time while having fun during the class.
Your "Whole Brain" Approach To Learning Chinese!
Many teachers use conventional methods based on the left side of the brain which governs language and logic.
Using the experience and knowledge that I've gained over the past 20 years from across various Chinese-dominant countries,
I created specific techniques that "activates" and "engages" both sides of the brain when children are learning Chinese.
By making use of both sides of the brain, your child will be able to write, read and converse in a more intuitive and creative way!
Learning Chinese become much more enjoyable and effective all at the same time!
There are 4 parts to the Speed Chinese Methodology - Speed Memory, Speed Reading, Speed Writing/Oral and Speed Chinese.
Each of them comes with their own set of techniques to help your child score for every section of the Chinese paper!
Our set of specially designed materials to help your child learn Chinese words using our proprietary "Word Flower" technique.
Speed Memory
A common difficulty that many children face when they tackle questions in exam papers is that they don’t understand Chinese characters well enough to understand the question.
This detrimental lack of knowledge can lead to your child not being able to accurately answer questions, leading to a loss of 10-15 marks in their comprehension section of the exam paper.
Making use of our Speed Memory method, your child will be able to recognise and memorise new Chinese characters in no time at all.
They do this by first learning the root word, following that they’ll be able to branch out to multiple characters.
As a result, they’ll have practical use of the words in daily life and school.
Once your child masters this skill, they will be able to learn Chinese words with minimal guidance and instruction.
We worked with E-Tutor Singapore to develop a follow along series to design materials that your child can use to pick up new words quickly.

"Look Forward To Every Lesson... Got Band 1 For My Chinese"
“I joined the Speed Chinese programme when I was in Primary 3. Back then, I was having problems learning and remembering new Chinese words in school. I like the way which Miss Chen conducts the lessons as every lesson was fun and interesting.
It was the first time to see an enrichment class using a laptop for Chinese lesson. I look forward to every lesson as I would like to try to challenge and break my own record during accelerated learning. With her guidance, I am able to do my Chinese homework independently, enjoying reading Chinese stories books and definitely more confident in speaking and communicate in Mandarin now. I’m now able to get band 1 for my Chinese.”
We use a combination of online and offline exercises to help your child score close to full marks in their Chinese Comprehension.
Speed Reading
Many students make the mistake of skimming through their exam questions in paper 1 and 2 because they want to quickly attempt the questions and they ensure that they have enough time to complete the exam.
This causes them to miss out on crucial parts of information which can lead to a loss of marks that can accumulate quickly.
Using our speed reading technique, students will learn how to read and analyze new passages and draw conclusions.
Your child will also learn how to pick out keywords in a passage and be able to effectively answer questions in the exams.
This is especially important for the comprehension part which makes up 40% to 50% of the student’s marks in the exam.
When your child joins our Speed Reading class, they will get instant access to our online Speed Reading platform where they can practice on hundreds of passages and improve their overall speed.

"Helps Me To Improve My Grades... From D To B"
“Since I was in primary 3, I have been scoring grade D for my Chinese. I have tried Chinese papers by myself but my grades were still poor. I joined the Speed Chinese programme when I was in primary 6 and preparing for my Chinese exams. I liked how the lessons are taught as it helps me to understand and learn the Chinese words quickly. I also find the lesson enjoyable and look forward to coming to this tuition as it really helps me to improve my grades and to understand the lessons in school. Now, I also find Chinese enjoyable and I like Chinese. I feel that I have improved a lot. In my last exam, I was able to score B for the first time!”
We use cartoons and comics to engage your child and teach them how to write stories that examiners love!
Speed Writing /Oral
Another common mistake many students make is that when they’re writing their comprehension or composition, they write unnecessary things that are out of point from what is actually needed. At the same time, many students are not confident with their oral pronunciations while reading passages, and found it difficult to express themselves fluently in a conversation.
Since they went out of point and didn’t answer the question, as well as not able to phrase themselves confidently in a conversation, they lost marks that could easily have been avoided.
After Primary 3, simply learning words is not good enough, you need to actually learn how to use the words and answer exam questions.
Using our Speed Writing/Oral Method, we teach students how to write in a way that helps them score close to full marks for the writing section, and proper techniques with reading and precise oral expression that help to ensure a fluent conversation.
There are a few things that examiners look out for in papers and oral exams, and we’ll teach students how to include them in the paper and how to handle oral exams.

"Shown Tremendous Improvement... Improved From Grade B to Grade A!"
“I am Fu Han from P6 Chinese class. I started Chinese tuition at Speed Chinese since P5 after getting mediocre result despite attending tuition in Tien Xia. I had shown tremendous improvement under Ms Chen’s coaching. She had taught me especially well to beef up my content in my compo writing, which I am rather weak prior to attending her lesson. She is a patient, helpful & caring teacher. Not only am I more confident in my compo writing, I have improved dramatically in my paper 2. My SA2 grade jump from grade B to grade A & I really looking forward to maintain it for my PSLE score as well.
Speed Chinese
Many students are found to be reluctant to put in a serious effort
to learn the Chinese language, due to the inherent lack of interest or the assumption that Chinese is a very difficult language.
“Boring” learning experiences they had in the past made matters worse too. This simply cannot be rectified if the children interest in the language is not being aroused.
Our Speed Chinese Method, coupled with fun induction of Chinese cultural factors, is professionally designed with various tools to help students overcome this psychological barrier.
The extensive practice your child goes through with Speed Chinese will only raise their interest in the language and improve their school results tremendously.
