古诗《咏鹅》 · 骆宾王, Tang dynasty — a child's ode to a goose, often the very first poem a P1 child in Singapore recites.  ·  《静夜思》 · 李白, Tang dynasty — a traveller's homesickness under the moonlight.  ·  《游子吟》 · 孟郊, Tang dynasty — a mother's stitches sewn into her son's travelling clothes.

P5Cycles — water and changes of state. Systems — reproduction, plant transport system, human respiratory and circulatory system, electrical system.
P6Energy — photosynthesis, energy conversion. Interactions — forces, interactions within the environment.
Sec1Diversity — physical properties of matter, chemical composition, separation techniques. Interactions — forces and transfer of energy, heat transfer, chemical changes, ecosystems. Models — ray model of light, cells, particulate nature of matter, atoms and molecules. Scientific Endeavour — lab safety and equipment, measurements and scientific method. Systems — human digestive system, transport in living things, human reproductive system, electrical systems.

The weak spots come back on their own

You don't have to spot them, and you don't have to nag. When a topic keeps going wrong it quietly returns in the next few days' practice — and your child gets told why, in plain words.

Sit a real past-year paper, timed

1,189 real school papers, across 84 grade × subject × exam-type combinations.

Pick a paper Timer runs Mark it together

The clock runs the way it will on the day. When the paper is handed in, you and your child mark it together — and that subject's reward for the day lands as soon as you're done.

Rewards your child actually wants

Answer correctly → earn bubbles → turn them into diamonds → spend them in the Gift Gallery. Each subject has its own diamond colour.

The Gift Gallery in Xuetang

The gifts are yours, not ours

Everything in the gallery is something you put there yourself — a trip, a book, a Saturday with no chores. Not platform trinkets. Your child is saving up for something real, and you decide what that is.

You see everything, without hovering

A weekly report, written out

Every Sunday: how much each subject got done, how it compares to last week, and the tutor's written comments on what to work on next. Plus a learning profile per child and a list of who needs attention.

Going on holiday?

Freeze the streak before you go. A week off doesn't undo a month of work — and nobody comes home to a broken run they have to start again.

A weekly report in Xuetang

Why I built this

I'm not a company. I'm a dad with two daughters.

The apps I tried either treated Chinese as an afterthought, or locked me into a twelve-month contract, or cost as much as a tutor. I wanted somewhere my girls would open on their own — where getting an answer right earns something, and where the topics they're weak at quietly come back more often, without me nagging every evening.

It worked for them. So I opened it up.

— the dad behind Xuetang

Two things I won't do

No contract, no auto-renew

There is no subscription to cancel and nothing to forget about. I'm a parent paying for this stuff too — I know how that one feels.

Chinese is not an afterthought

It sits in the same row as Maths, with its own past papers, its own word quest, and its own AI teacher that answers in Chinese.

Questions parents ask

Is Xuetang free?

Yes. Daily practice stays free, and until 30 November 2026 the full past-paper library and the AI tutor are open to every account — no card, nothing locked. After that some of it may move behind a paid plan; anyone with an account will be told by email before it does.

Which grades and subjects are covered?

P1 to P6. Maths, English and Chinese from P1; Science from P3, the same as the MOE syllabus. Chinese also covers classical poems and idioms. Chinese and English carry on into secondary levels for a child who is ahead.

Are the past-year papers real school papers?

Yes — real papers, sat with a timer, marked by you and your child together afterwards.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser. You can add it to the home screen if you want it to feel like an app.

Can I see what my child is doing?

Yes. Parents get a weekly report with written comments, a learning profile per child, and a list of who needs attention.

What does the AI tutor actually do?

It teaches the question step by step rather than telling your child the answer, and it works out its own solution first instead of trusting the answer key blindly.

Is there a contract or auto-renew?

No. There is no subscription to cancel.

What if we take a week off?

Turn on holiday mode and the streak freezes. A week away doesn't undo a month of work.
