Broad-Based Targeted Practice: online English and Chinese classes that give your child time to work on the skills they find difficult. Choose creative writing, oral and writing, secondary current affairs or Math Heuristics.
Writing, oral and current affairs pathways offer English and Chinese. Math Heuristics is a separate Math pathway. All BBTP classes are online.
Help your child move from “I don’t know what to write” to a story they can plan, explain and improve.
For children who have ideas but lose the thread when they write. We work on a believable event, a clear turning point and an ending that follows from the story. Children practise planning, paragraph flow and editing their own sentences.
Turn a picture or topic into a connected story. Children practise explaining why something happens, showing a character’s feelings through actions, and choosing words they can use naturally. Oral rehearsal helps them get an idea clear before writing it down.
PSLE English composition asks children to develop a relevant, connected response to a topic and picture stimulus. Chinese composition offers topic and picture writing. We use those writing skills as a direction, with shorter, guided tasks for P3–P4 and more independent planning and revision for P5–P6.

For students who know an answer but struggle to explain it, speak at length or put their thoughts into writing.
Build a response that goes beyond one sentence. Practise a point, a reason and a useful example; then turn spoken ideas into a paragraph or a written response for a particular reader. We also work on sentence accuracy, reading aloud and responding to follow-up questions.
Help children say what they mean in natural Mandarin and put it into clear written Chinese. We build vocabulary in context, practise complete spoken answers and connect sentences into purposeful paragraphs, emails and compositions as the student progresses.
A child may know the Chinese words but arrange them in English word order. Our sentence-construction practice (造句) starts with what the child wants to say. We compare word choices, fix awkward phrasing and practise a more natural sentence before using it in speech and writing.
For example, “I enjoyed myself” does not need a word-for-word translation. In a story about an outing, “我玩得很开心” is a natural way to express the idea. We then add the reason or a detail so the sentence helps tell the story.
Practise expressive reading, an organised answer and examples from familiar experiences. Primary English oral uses a photo prompt; primary Chinese oral uses a video. Writing practice builds from sentences to connected pieces.
Move into fuller explanations, suitable tone and responding to another view. English practice supports situational and continuous writing (composition) and planned oral responses; Chinese practice supports practical email writing, composition and video-based conversation. G2 and G3 tasks are adjusted to the student.
Our online English and Chinese Oral & Writing classes also support S1–S4 G1 learners. We start with clear sentences, useful vocabulary and answers the student can explain, then build longer responses with plenty of guided practice.
Practise functional writing, short narratives, personal recounts and descriptions. Oral work includes reading aloud with clear pronunciation and discussing a video prompt. We break planning and revision into manageable steps.
Build a relevant written response to an online post, with practice putting ideas into clear Chinese and typing them with pinyin. Reading aloud, video conversation and 造句 develop the vocabulary and sentence confidence behind that response.

Make sense of the world, then learn to speak and write about it. Topics can include technology, the environment, community life and young people’s everyday choices.
Read and discuss accessible news in English, then practise using the issue for a written or spoken task. Students learn to explain a view, choose a relevant example and consider who their response is for.
Build the Chinese vocabulary needed to discuss real issues. We unpack a news story, compare viewpoints and practise explaining causes, effects and possible responses in clear Mandarin and written Chinese.
Use an issue to practise a purposeful response: for example, an email suggesting how a school could reduce food waste. English tasks focus on purpose, reader and context; Chinese practical writing includes email responses.
Develop an idea with a reason, an example and an explanation of why it matters. Discussing different viewpoints gives students material for arguments, explanations and reflective writing.
Practise explaining a view and answering a new question. SEC English develops a planned video response and spoken interaction; Chinese develops reading aloud and discussion around a video.
S1–S2 students build topic vocabulary and short explanations. S3–S4 students develop longer responses and exam-focused practice. G2 learners receive more support with vocabulary, structure and planning alongside carefully chosen G3 challenges.
Explore a short report about screen time → identify the people affected → discuss two viewpoints → write a practical email or a developed paragraph → explain your view aloud → improve it after feedback. The lesson is about understanding and using an idea, rather than memorising a news summary.

Help your child see a way into the problem, choose a useful strategy and show reasoning clearly. Focused online practice complements regular Math tuition.
When a child can calculate but cannot start a word problem, more sums may not help. We practise drawing a model, making a table, working backwards and looking for patterns. Children explain why a strategy fits, then try a related problem with less prompting.
Turn a long question into quantities, conditions and a plan. Use diagrams, equations, organised cases and checks to connect algebra, geometry and real-world problems. G2 students receive smaller steps and guided examples, with well-chosen G3 challenges to build confidence for school and SEC exams (formerly O-Level and N-Level pathways).

BBTP also provides focused English and Chinese practice for skills that need more attention. Bring a recent piece of work: we can identify what to revisit, practise it in manageable steps and review how your child applies the feedback.
English tuition pathways →Chinese tuition pathways →Tell us your child’s year level, language and the task they find hardest. An Academic Strategist will discuss their work with you online and help you choose a focused class. BBTP can also sit alongside CBC when your child needs both regular subject teaching and extra practice in a particular skill.
Get BBTP programme advice →We teach G2 alongside G3, adapting explanations, task difficulty, pacing and feedback to G2 students’ needs. We aim to strengthen confidence at school while building towards the SEC examinations early—not by rushing through harder papers, but by making challenging learning manageable.
Begin with the learner’s actual G2 syllabus, current schoolwork and recurring gaps. Break a task into clear steps and model the reasoning before independent practice.
Use carefully selected G3-level material where it deepens a shared skill. Add prompts, worked examples or vocabulary support; reduce support as understanding becomes more secure.
Look for clearer explanations, fewer repeated errors and more independent responses to new tasks. Prepare progressively for SEC demands while protecting time to consolidate learning.
English: move from a supported inference to an independently explained answer, or revise a modelled paragraph before writing for a new audience. Chinese: unpack a text’s vocabulary and evidence before asking for a deeper inference; develop an oral viewpoint through a reason and an example rather than memorising a script. Math: secure the concept and a clear worked method first, then use a carefully chosen stretch problem to develop application and explanation.
The Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) replaces the former GCE O-Level and N-Level examinations. G3 follows the former O-Level standard, while G2 follows the former N(A)-Level standard. We teach G2 students alongside G3 with extra guidance, a suitable pace and more challenging practice when they are ready. Lessons build school confidence while preparing each student for their own subject level.
