Discover English
Every child learns differently.
They deserve the opportunity to succeed.
All our lessons are tailored to individual needs.
About us
DiscoverEnglish is a privately run tutoring business, established in 2010, based in Singapore, offering face-to-face and online classes.
We work closely with children of all ages, from pre-primary to A Level / IB, supporting them in both international and Singapore MOE curricula.
We have a wide range of experience and success in areas of 11+ and 13+ common entrance to UK private schools, Singapore PSLE, as well as IGCSE, IB, A Levels and University entrance support.
As educators, we believe we are tasked with preparing our students for whatever life throws at them. Encouraging each one to experiment with their learning so they go out into the world, not merely as global citizens, but as tolerant and open-minded individuals; as Jackson (1968) wrote, ‘Learning to live in a classroom involves, among other things, learning to live in a crowd.’
Human beings invented reading only a few thousand years ago. And with this invention, we changed the very organisation of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which altered the intellectual evolution of our species.

Articles & information
Learning to Read and Why Reading Isn’t Natural
Reading may feel effortless to the fluent reader, like second nature. However, the human brain is not born knowing how to do it.
Unlike speech, with its deep evolutionary roots, written language has existed for only about 5,000 years; not enough time for the brain to evolve dedicated neural circuitry for reading and writing.
Dyslexia and its misconceptions
Dyslexia is often misconstrued and conjures up the perception of a disability, slowness in learning, inability to read or spell well, word and letter reversals, and just about anything to do with learning.
It has also been hijacked by celebrities and geniuses whose claims can be soul-destroying for individuals and parents whose daily struggles are so far removed from the fairy tales of success.
