At Mavis Tutorial Centre, we proudly present ‘The Write Stuff’ (TWS) — our comprehensive English Language programme designed for Primary 2 to Primary 6 students. TWS has evolved beyond composition and situational writing to become a fully integrated programme that also builds listening and oral communication skills, equipping students for every written and spoken demand of the PSLE English Language examination.

By the time our students reach Primary 6, they will have built strong foundations across all four components assessed in Paper 1 (Writing), Paper 3 (Listening Comprehension) and Paper 4 (Oral Communication) — together worth 55% of the total PSLE English Language score.* With TWS, no single component is left underprepared.

The core features of our lessons include:

• Continuous Writing (Compositions)Our classes cover a wide range of themes frequently tested in school examinations. We guide students in generating relevant ideas and planning their compositions effectively before they put pen to paper, and provide a treasure trove of descriptive phrases to enrich their language and content. Our tutors also teach narrative techniques, including crafting intriguing introductions and using the “show, not tell” approach to captivate readers and examiners alike.
• Situational WritingWe guide students through the range of text types assessed in the PSLE — including formal and informal emails, letters and reports — teaching the correct format and register for each. Students learn to read a given situation carefully, identify what is truly being asked of them, and respond with relevant, well-organised content that meets the assessment criteria.
• Listening ComprehensionOur Listening Comprehension lessons train students to listen with purpose. Through structured, in-class audio drills, students are exposed to a wide variety of spoken text types — recounts, instructions, explanations, arguments and persuasive pieces — mirroring the range assessed in the PSLE. We teach students how to identify main ideas, pick up on key details, and draw sound inferences, all while listening under timed, examination-like conditions. Regular practice builds the concentration and quick thinking students need to perform confidently when it counts.
• Oral Communication (Reading Aloud & Stimulus-Based Conversation)Confidence in spoken English is built through deliberate practice, not left to chance. Our Oral Communication sessions cover both components of the PSLE oral examination: Reading Aloud, where students learn to read fluently and expressively with clear and accurate pronunciation, and Stimulus-Based Conversation, where students learn to organise their thoughts quickly and express personal opinions clearly in response to a photo stimulus. Our tutors provide hands-on coaching on pronunciation, pacing and articulation, helping students speak with the poise and clarity examiners look for.
• Model CompositionsThrough our model compositions, students learn how to fully develop a theme and express their ideas coherently. These pieces expose students to a wealth of well-crafted words, phrases and descriptions that they can assimilate into their own writing. We also teach students how to read and analyse model pieces, enabling them to annotate and use these as references for future revision.
• Writing SkillsEach TWS worksheet is built around a specific writing technique — from crafting strong introductions to using descriptive language and structuring compelling conclusions. We believe in learning through doing: every lesson pairs a clear demonstration with a short writing assignment, giving students the chance to immediately apply what they have just learnt.
• Marking & Feedback Across All ComponentsConsistent, specific feedback is at the heart of TWS. Our tutors carefully mark students’ written scripts — addressing language errors, offering suggestions for improvement, and summarising strengths and areas to work on. This same rigour extends to oral and listening practice, where tutors track pronunciation, fluency and listening accuracy over time, helping students and parents see clear, measurable progress across all four components.
