Tutor Lesson-Prep Guides — Primary Maths, Chinese, English, General Studies

2026-10-27

Tutor lesson-prep guides

One guide per subject, per chapter

Not a textbook: how to teach this particular lesson. Prerequisites, a 40 to 50 minute flow, a script you can read out, four mistakes with the words to correct them, and an exit check that tells you whether the student actually understood.

Subjects available

Primary maths

Number, fractions, area, volume, percentage and speed, one chapter at a time, with the script a tutor can read out.

42 chapters

Primary Chinese

Reading comprehension, writing and language basics, with a question ladder and evidence rules for each text type.

8 chapters

Primary English

Tenses, grammar, reading and writing, taught as “error, rule, practice” so the gap shows up in three minutes.

9 chapters

Primary General Studies

Health, environment, science and citizenship, built on everyday examples and chart questions.

Secondary lesson-prep guides: maths, English, Chinese, biology. Secondary chapters are 60-minute lessons mapped to DSE question types.

Why one page per chapter

In any topic students get stuck in two or three predictable places. A chapter guide names those places, so a tutor does not rediscover them every lesson and a parent can follow the same steps at home.
