For families newly migrated from Vietnam to Singapore, adapting to a different education system and cultural environment can be challenging. At Golden Tuition Academy (GTA.sg), we understand the unique needs of students from Vietnam and provide tailored programs to help them integrate seamlessly into Singapore’s academic framework while excelling in their studies.
Challenges Faced by Students from Vietnam
Students transitioning from Vietnam to Singapore face several common challenges:
- Language Barriers: While English is part of the curriculum in Vietnam, it is not the primary medium of instruction, making it difficult for students to adapt to Singapore’s English-dominated education system.
- Curriculum Differences: Vietnam’s education system focuses heavily on rote learning and memorization, while Singapore emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills.
- Cultural Adaptation: Students must adapt to Singapore’s multicultural environment, where collaboration, extracurricular activities, and social integration play significant roles.
At Golden Tuition Academy, we address these challenges with a structured approach to ensure every student from Vietnam feels supported academically and socially.
English and Mathematics Programs for Vietnamese Students
Many Vietnamese students struggle with English when they first arrive in Singapore. Our English tuition programs focus on:
- Improving reading, writing, and comprehension skills through targeted lessons.
- Enhancing speaking and listening skills for classroom discussions and daily communication.
- Preparing students for English exams with practice in grammar, vocabulary, and essay writing.
For Mathematics, we bridge the gap between Vietnam’s calculation-based approach and Singapore’s focus on problem-solving by:
- Teaching key concepts in alignment with Singapore’s MOE syllabus.
- Introducing advanced problem-solving techniques to help students excel in exams.
- Providing bilingual support to clarify difficult concepts in Vietnamese when needed.

- Vietnamese-Speaking Tutors: For younger students or those less confident in English, we offer bilingual support to ease their transition.
