Why the Oral needs its own plan
An assessment book can't listen to your child read, or explain why an answer sounded thin. The Oral improves through speaking out loud and getting specific feedback, often.
The ideas are there, but not the structure. We teach a clear method for building a full, relevant answer. Our students know it as PEEL.
Confident speakers often ramble. Marks come from relevance and well-developed ideas, not length.
Shy children can freeze with a stranger. Mock orals in exam format make the real thing feel familiar.
Pacing, pronunciation and expression all count. They improve with repetition and precise feedback.
Two ways we help
Choose one or use both. A free AI practice is a quick way to see where your child stands before you decide anything.
A weekly 45-minute session with a teacher, built around your child's own answers in Reading Aloud and Stimulus-Based Conversation.
Your child reads aloud and answers picture questions out loud, then gets a mark, written feedback and a model answer, and tries again.
Also available: 1-to-1 English tuition from Primary 1 to Secondary 4 (PSLE, O-Level and IGCSE), online or at home, including tutors experienced with GEP students.

Good morning, everyone. Today, I would like to share with you my experience of becoming the new class monitor this year.
When my teacher first announced that I had been chosen, I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I had never held such a responsibility before, and I wondered if I would be able to do a good job.

Student results
Three students from our PSLE Oral Masterclass, and the PSLE English grade each of them achieved.
The Oral exam would have been my bane if not for this Masterclass.
"I am generally a very shy and introverted person. I found it hard to speak to strangers and share my thoughts openly. The Oral exam would have been my bane if not for this Masterclass course. The teachers prepared us using a very user-friendly method. I used this for my Prelims and PSLE and it was very helpful and effective. The mock practices were great as they helped me to be more confident and prepared."
I thought if I could talk a lot, then I would be fine. It was such a misconception.
"I ended up talking out of point, totally disorganised and sounding boring and repetitive. It was through this Oral Masterclass that I learned how to approach each question type, using the PEEL method to construct my answer logically, relevantly, and even making it interesting and natural."
I was able to answer all the questions with substantial content by applying the PEEL method.
"The Oral Masterclass gave me more confidence in both reading and conversing. For reading, I lacked practice, so having the mock practices was a great help. For conversation, I could speak quite fluently but lacked substantial content. I know it was through the Masterclass that helped me in my scoring for my PSLE."

About Mustard Seed
Mustard Seed English Class has taught students one-to-one online for 10 years, and speaking is where we do our best work.
We were founded on a simple belief: every child's English can grow, given the right guidance, structure and patience. We teach students from Primary 1 to Secondary 4 for PSLE, O-Level and IGCSE English. Our tutors average more than a decade of teaching experience, including with students in the Gifted Education Programme.
The AI oral practice extends the same approach beyond lesson time: structured practice, specific feedback, and enough repetition for confidence to take root.
Your child keeps the same tutor across terms wherever possible, so lessons build on real progress.
Every lesson is planned against the actual MOE and Cambridge examination requirements.
Parents receive regular updates on what's improving and what still needs attention.
Confidence comes from repetition and feedback, not memorised scripts.
