Kids English (Beginners)
English for children aged 5–8 who are starting from scratch (Prep to Year 2). Teacher Changchang teaches phonics, first words, classroom English, and short songs and games. No English is needed before the first lesson. Vietnamese explanations are used when a child needs them. Chinese can be used the same way if that is the home language.
