Parents testimonials


Both my children started English lessons at Jan & Elly learning phonics and reading. It has been a joy for them. Each time round, they look forward to their lessons. The teachers have been very approachable, especially their class teacher. The teacher has been patiently guiding my child (and myself) in his work, and at the same time, tries to understand his personality and work along with it.

My boys, Mika’il and Zayn were taught phonics and English at Jan & Elly. Mika’il went through the program from K2 to P2 for 3 years from 2018 and Zayn from 2022. They look forward to lessons and speak highly of their teacher when asked about the lessons. Thank you, to their teacher and Jan & Elly for the great work you’ve been doing!

Jass Un Janir, mum of Mika’il and Zayn

Both my boys (P5 and P3) have been with Jan and Elly since they were in preschool. They thoroughly enjoy learning English with their teacher who’s the most amazing and patient teacher and connects with children extremely well. They always look forward to their lessons every week with their class teacher as learning creative writing is a fun and fulfilling journey every week. Thanks to their teacher for his passion and always putting in your best to impart your knowledge.

Prior to joining Jan & Elly, Felise was learning Phonics from another centre for 6 months without much improvement in her reading abilities. With J&E,  Felise had improved by leaps and bounds in her reading within 3 months! Credit definitely goes to the teacher who is very engaging and encouraging! Felise is now in her 5th year with J&E and she is still looking forward to her weekly classes. As a parent, it is a joy to see my child looking forward to attending lessons.

Pei Jia Luo, mum of Felise Law

I am so thankful to enroll my son at the Jan & Elly (Greenwich Branch). Jathan has been here for the past four years and all the four academic years were great for him. Jathan has excelled in his academic, special thanks to the teacher in creating an ideal atmosphere for Jathan to grow socially and academically. We as parents are very happy with our experience at Jan & Elly and would highly recommend this CPO program to anyone in the community looking for an English writing program for their child.

Improving your child’s English level

Through dedicated programmes focused on Phonics, Reading, Writing and Excelling in English, learning at Jan & Elly is a tailored experience that is made fun and engaging for our students.

We are able to meet children where they currently are in their English language journeys to ensure that they get the most out of their time at our school.

Each of our programmes is organised by age and skill level, so whether your child is just getting started or already has some of the basics down, there’s a programme that’s perfect for them and easy to join. Our experienced teachers will take the time to understand each child’s needs and determine the best approach to English so that they can hit the ground running and develop their English language skills.

Phonics and reading

Our Phonics programme is broken up into three levels that support children as they develop and learn new decoding and reading techniques. Those three levels are:

  • Phonics Readiness, age 4.
  • Phonics Intermediate, ages 4-5.
  • Phonics Advanced, ages 5-6.

Throughout this programme, children will learn the basics of reading while we foster a curiosity about English that helps them excel and progress through the course.

Using a pragmatic, tried-and-tested method of teaching phonics, our teachers will help your child build a strong foundation for reading by learning the English alphabet from A to Z, understanding letter sounds and decoding whole words. We use a variety of fun enrichment activities that keep children engaged and make learning enjoyable so that they come to school excited and ready to take on new challenges.

At the end of the programme, we aim to improve your child’s reading and comprehension skills at a level where they can confidently recognise, pronounce and read words independently.

Creative writing

Once your child can confidently sound out, read and comprehend words in English, it’s time to cultivate those skills with creative writing.

At Jan & Elly, we offer two levels of Creative Writing that will help your child transform their simple ideas into creative stories before continuing to expand their narrative range in the next level of our Creative Writing programme. The two programme levels are:

  • Pre-Creative Writing, ages 6-7.
  • Creative Writing & Composition, ages 8-12.

In Pre-Creative Writing, students will learn the basics of how to write, think of creative ideas and form the basics of a story by bringing those ideas to life. They will learn things such as:

  • The basics of sentence structure,
  • Paragraph formation, and
  • Using effective vocabulary.

Once they have a grasp on the basics of writing, they can advance to Creative Writing & Composition, where their writing skills will continue to be fostered with engaging writing activities. In this programme level, students will be introduced to more advanced English writing techniques that will expand their narrative skills, descriptive capabilities and expository skills, such as explaining their ideas in writing.

Excelling

Lifelong learning is a valuable skill that helps children become better, more effective members of their communities. Split into two sections, our English Made Possible programmes encourage students’ natural curiosity and ambition to help make a lifelong learner of your child. The programme sections we offer for this course are:

  • English Made Possible Foundation, ages 7-8.
  • English Made Possible, ages 9-12.

Throughout these programmes, your child will be challenged with new grammar, comprehension and composition activities that will help prepare them for the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE). 

Children will grasp fundamental English skills while developing an eagerness for learning that encourages a lifelong ambition for language and communication.

Enriched learning for children

At Jan & Elly, we provide an enriched learning experience across all of our programmes and programme levels. No matter which stage of learning your child is at, they will receive a comprehensive education on the English language through multi-sensory experiences and engaging activities that actively support their growth and development in English.

Our small, intimate class sizes ensure that every child gets the attention they require — and deserve — to develop a strong understanding of the English language. Children are actively encouraged to push themselves and take on new challenges that will help them progress through the programme stages on their way to becoming more capable English speakers, readers and writers.

The importance of enhancing your child’s English skills

The earlier that your child starts developing their English language skills, the sooner they will be able to read and write independently.

By starting an enriched English language education young, your child will:

Develop the skills they need to read, write and speak English on their own.

Prepare for the PSLE
and excel at it.

Build confidence in their ability to understand the English language.

To give your child a head start on building these essential skills, book a phonics assessment or trial class with the Jan & Elly English Language School and Enrichment Centre. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have and talk through some of our programme options.
