Developing Children & Youth / Academic Support / Tuition Programme

Tuition Programme

The Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) has been offering quality and affordable tuition to students from less well-to-do families since 1993.

The classes are mainly conducted at selected partner schools and CDAC centres which are accessible and convenient for students. The CDAC Tuition Programme is offered at 40 locations islandwide.

We also offer enrichment programmes such as Phonics, E-Speed Chinese and Challenging Math at our CDAC Centres.

Our small class sizes (10-12 students per class) enables tutors to give targeted individual attention to students.
