As a non-native English speaker and having learned English as a second language myself, I understand that it can be quite challenging.
That’s why, for you to learn English in Singapore effectively, we have developed a tried-and-tested teaching method that will empower even complete beginners to use English in their daily lives. In a lot of ways, English is one of the least forgiving languages to pick up as a non-native speaker. Yet, one is expected to know, master and utilise the international language of commerce in many parts of the world, even though it may not be our preferred language of choice.
Many learners have struggled with illogical grammar rules, the seemingly strange spelling and inconsistent grammar. For example, why there is no ham in hamburger and there is also neither pine nor apple in pineapple! Learning English in Singapore is a very personal journey and here at English Express, we strive to support you in every way we can. If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them!
We are part of the Crystal Learning group of language schools. All Crystal Learning schools believe in small-scale language teaching with a practical focus.
