Primary 4 Tuition
Harder content, and the results that decide Primary 5 subject levels
What Primary 4 tuition at EduZ covers
Primary 4 matters more than many parents expect. The end-of-year results decide whether a child takes a subject at the standard or foundation level in Primary 5 and 6, and the content takes a clear step up in every subject.
Our P4 Maths lessons cover factors and multiples, fractions and decimals, angles, symmetry, area and perimeter, tables and graphs, and two-step word problems. Science moves into matter, heat, light, magnets and the human body, with more open-ended questions. English works on comprehension with inference, vocabulary in context, composition structure and oral reading. Chinese focuses on composition, comprehension and oral.
Lessons are 1.5 hours in a small group. We send parents a progress note after every lesson so you can see what to practise at home.

English
P4 English focuses on preparing students for more time-based assessments while developing critical thinking skills. This will enable them to better transition to upper primary, where the demands lie beyond just demonstrating a basic understanding of the language.
Content & Language Mastery
Our P4 English touches on phrasal verbs, connectors, clauses and common expression. Active discussion are held during lesson time to encourage students to express their personal thoughts and opinions.
Skills and Techniques
Students are taught keyword analysis and inferential skills to tackle comprehension questions. Students are also encouraged to come up with creative stories to capture readers’ attention in composition. Continued refinement in their pronunciation, enunciation, intonation help students gain confidence in their oral skills.

Enquire Now Math
P4 Math focuses on preparing students for more time-based assessments while tackling questions that require more critical thinking.
Content Mastery
Our P4 Math explores more mathematical symbols and numbers, while using numbers up to 100 000. Additional topics in factors, multiples, decimals and symmetry are introduced. Students are also taught to create and analyse tables and line graphs.
Skills and Techniques
Students in P4 continue to work on answering techniques while practising application-based mathematics concepts and questions.

Enquire Now Science
P4 Science focuses on building on their science foundation and allowing room for further learning and applications.
Content Mastery
P4 Science touches on more chapters under the 6 PSLE science themes, while revising the topics covered in P3 at greater depth.
Skills and Techniques
More skill-based scientific skills like drawing relationship between variables, analysing information in charts and graphs, and interpreting the aims, variables and conclusion of experiment set-up are the focus in this level.

Enquire NowQuestions parents ask about Primary 4
At the end of P4, schools use the year's results to place each child at the standard or foundation level for each subject in P5. Standard-level subjects lead to the full PSLE paper, so a strong P4 keeps every option open. We give P4 students more exam-style practice in the second half of the year for that reason.
That pattern usually means the content is understood but the exam skills are not: reading the question fully, managing time, checking work and presenting answers the way markers expect. Our P4 lessons practise timed questions and go through common errors, which is where most lost marks come from.
Primary classes are $150 to $180 for four lessons of 1.5 hours each, depending on the subject. There is no registration fee and no material fee. If your child takes two subjects you get $20 off, and three or more subjects get $60 off. The full table is on the fees page.
Classes run on weekday afternoons and evenings (2pm to 10pm) and on weekends (9am to 7pm). The timetable differs by centre and changes as classes fill, so we do not publish it. Message the centre on WhatsApp with your child's level and subject and we will send you the current slots.
Yes. A free trial lesson is available to new students who book one in advance. Book the trial online or message the centre on WhatsApp, and we will place your child in the right class for their level and subject.
