For foreigners living in Singapore who want part-time English classes, English Explorer offers General English, Conversational English and Business English at International Plaza, above Tanjong Pagar MRT, with live online options. Start by choosing the situations you want to handle and checking your level before selecting a class.
Choose a course for the English you need in Singapore
Tell the school where English is difficult for you: speaking to neighbours, following a conversation, reading information, writing at work or taking part in meetings. These goals can call for different course content, even when two learners have the same starting level.
- General English: a route for adults who want to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing together. English Explorer’s General English course uses the Oxford University Press syllabus and a beginner-to-advanced pathway.
- Conversational English: for adults who understand English but hesitate when speaking. The Conversational English course covers everyday conversations, pronunciation, listening and speaking practice. Its published audience includes newcomers to Singapore.
- Business English: for working adults using English in emails, meetings, presentations and calls. The Business English course includes foreign professionals settling into a Singapore workplace.
Check your level before choosing an intake
A beginner class and an intermediate class can have similar names but different starting points. English Explorer offers a free online placement test; its consultants use the result to recommend a course and class schedule. The published test takes about ten minutes.
Describe both your goal and what you can already do. You might read English at work but find fast conversations difficult, or be comfortable speaking while needing help with written messages. Ask which course and level cover your particular needs.
Compare the published fee and lesson time
English Explorer publishes General, Conversational and Business English group courses at S$350 for eight two-hour sessions. The trial class is a two-hour lesson at S$45. Confirm the full amount payable, materials, current intake and terms for the course you choose before paying.
Group lessons and private tuition are different arrangements. If you need an individual timetable or a particular work goal, ask about private English tuition and its separate fee. Funding eligibility depends on the particular learner and course; ask the school to check it rather than treating a funding statement as an automatic discount.
Where are the classes, and can you study online?
The campus is at 10 Anson Road #22-07B, International Plaza, Singapore 079903, above Tanjong Pagar MRT. English Explorer also publishes live online English classes with the same trainers and syllabus as the classroom options.
Check the actual timetable for your chosen course. The published schedules include weekend conversational classes and weekday evening business classes; the available level and next intake need confirming. Compare the class times with your work, family commitments and travel time.
What should you ask before enrolling?
- Which course and level fit my placement result and goal?
- What are the next intake dates, weekly times and lesson format?
- How many learners will be in this particular class?
- What is the full fee, and which materials or other charges apply?
- What are the rules if I miss a lesson or need to change plans?
If you also need a Student’s Pass for study in Singapore, read ICA’s official Student’s Pass information and confirm the specific programme with the school. ICA states that part-time, evening and weekend courses are not eligible for a Student’s Pass.
