Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Whether you are curious about our pedagogy or the practicalities of our classes, we’ve gathered everything you need to know about starting your chapter with us.

Our Philosophy & Curriculum

What makes Prologue different from other English centers?

At Prologue, we view every student as a writer with a unique story to tell. While many centers focus solely on formulaic "drill-and-kill" methods, we prioritise care, craft, and intention. Our space is designed to inspire and ensuring that students don't just "study" English, but learn to love the power of language.

Is your curriculum aligned with the MOE syllabus?

Yes. We are fully aware of the rigors of the Singapore education system. Our curriculum is mapped to the latest MOE English Language syllabus, ensuring students are well-prepared for the technical demands of the PSLE, O-Levels, and IP/IB assessments through a more thoughtful, inquiry-based approach.

Do you provide your own learning materials?

Absolutely. We take great pride in our in-house materials, such as our "A Close Chomp" series. These are not just worksheets; they are carefully designed workbooks that encourage critical thinking, vocabulary expansion, and structural mastery.

Trials & Enrollment

Do you offer trial lessons?

We believe that finding the right fit takes more than just one session. To allow a student enough time to settle in and for our teachers to properly assess their writing level, we do not offer single trials. Instead, we offer a 4-Lesson Trial Pass. This provides a comprehensive introduction to our craft and curriculum.

Where can I find your current fees and class timings?

Attendance & Replacement Classes

What happens if my child misses a physical class?

We understand that schedules can get busy. If your child cannot attend their usual physical class, we offer the following options:

In-Week Replacement: Join another physical class happening within the same week.
Online Option: If you cannot make it to the centre, you may join a live session online on any available day offered during that week.
Lesson Recordings: As a last resort, we can provide a recording of the lesson for the student to watch in their own time. Rest assured, the teacher will also check in with the student after class to clarify any doubts and ensure they have understood the material and are fully caught up to speed.

Our Studio Environment

What is the class size at Prologue?

To maintain a high standard of feedback, our class sizes range from 8 to 12 students, depending on the level. This ensures a vibrant classroom discussion while still allowing for personalised attention to each student’s work.

What is your "No Shoes" policy?

To keep our studio clean and comfortable (almost like a second home!), we observe a no-shoes policy.

Our centre is vacuumed and mopped daily, so we ask that all students place their footwear neatly on the provided shoe shelves before entering the learning space.

Safety & Communication

How do teachers communicate with parents?

We believe in keeping the lines of communication open. For more specific concerns, our teachers are available for brief check-ins before or after class or on Class Dojo.

How do you track my child’s progress?

Every piece of writing at Prologue is an opportunity for growth. Marked assignments and compositions are typically returned with constructive feedback that explains the why and the how to help your child improve their next draft.

What are your safety protocols?

The safety of our writers is our priority. Our centre is equipped with 24/7 CCTV surveillance in common areas and classrooms. Additionally, we ensure the learning environment is sanitized regularly to maintain a healthy space for everyone.
