Phonics lessons - my two elder kids took phonics lessons from a teacher at her house. Lessons are one-on-one. Taught montesorri style, I think. They learn through songs, tactile (hands on manipulation), worksheet, writing, recitation etc.
Teacher charges $25/hour, payable per four lessons, on the first lesson. Public holidays no lessons, still must pay.
although a bit ex (but for one-on-one ok lah), kids do learn, and usually by just before p1, can read quite well, cos she teaches until she covers even the sight words and words with exceptions (those that don't follow the rules). But I would suggest if you are interested, not to sign your kid up too early. She likes to take them in around beginning of N2, but even if you start like at K1, also can... they move at a much faster pace, and you don't feel like how come so slow one... know what I mean?
Warning though... she can be firm with the children (although she will reward with stickers to motivate them) so sometimes the children are reluctant to go for lessons if they are not used to it. She gives homework (writing, practice reading) at a later stage (when doing more complicated blending and various vowel sounds), so expect that.
She's at Marine Parade.
