Eye Level Singapore
Introduction Eye Level is one of the leading global supplemental education service providers. It aims to nurture children to be lifelong learners and critical thinkers through self-directed learning. The core programmes Eye Level provides are Math and English, based on self-directed learning instructions. Eye Level provides individualised learning that helps students master learning concepts with 1-to-1 coaching, utilising a systematic, small-step approach. Each child will be assessed individually through a Diagnostic Test. The Diagnostic Test provides a better and precise insight into children’s ability and learning needs. Eye Level Instructors utilise this test to determine the best place to start a child in the Eye Level curriculum. The right starting point will foster an interest in learning and improve performance and attitude towards learning. In return, each child can achieve mastery of each learning concept with accuracy and speed.
Milestone
In 2010, Eye Level found a demand for enrichment programmes in Singapore, and broaden its market accordingly.
2012 – Bought over from Samsung North America and rebranding to Eye Level, hence Singapore is one of the subsidiaries and ever since then our franchise business in Singapore start to grow.
In 2019, Eye Level delivered 50,000 Eye Level Korean booklets to the National University of Singapore (NUS). The Centre for Language Studies at NUS has been very proactive in allowing students to learn about the Korean culture and language by opening Korean language classes and conducting various programs on campus. As a support and its past relations with Professor Wai Meng Chan, Eye Level decided to provide its learning materials that can be used during Korean classes at the school. The materials are bundled up in two different courses (Intermediate and advanced) with 7 levels each and provided to 350 students that semester. The booklets will be used as school’s supplementary materials in Korean language classes.
2020 – The pandemic is an unprecedented event that has caused widespread economic disruption. Amid the pandemic, Eye Level developed its own online coaching platform – On Air. Eye Level aims to always be there, and ready for their students.
2021 – Today, Eye Level has 21 learning centres in Singapore.

Parent Testimonials
Before we sign him up for Eye Level, no matter how we teach him addition, he just doesn’t get it. Even the simplest 1 + 1= 2 he only gets it through memorising and not the concept. However, all these changed when he enrolled in the first month at Eye Level. We are truly impressed by the teaching method of the teacher and it greatly helped him during Primary 1. He is now more confident in doing his Math and we even enrol him for English as we see improvement in my Daughter’s English due to Eye Level too! --Michelle, Parent of Elson
Previously, my child used to dislike Mathematics and was quite weak in counting. He would use his fingers or even toes to count for a long time for simple addition and subtraction. After attending Eye Level classes for about a month or two, we noticed that there was an obvious improvement. He could add and subtract quickly without using his fingers. He has also become more interested in the subject. His teachers have been very patient and could keep him engaged. Having attended other academic related enrichment classes before, this is the first that he says he enjoys attending the classes at Eye Level. --Yee Yee, Parent of Jayden Ng
Eye level has taught my child a lot of things! She can do it very fast in English and maths. She is sometimes on the top of her class. She is very happy that she can do a lot of things and she's not stressed anymore. The most favourite thing she likes about eye level is that she can finish her class work and get stickers. She had used to be stressful and depressed. She helps with my English speaking skills sometimes. I'm very proud of her and I wish she keep it up. --Mst Ruma Akter, Parent of Rumki Shahrum

Franchisee Testimonials
"I discovered Eye Level when I was doing research on enrichment classes for my daughter who is going to start school. I have confidence in the curriculum and would like to bring it to more people, hence I decided on opening an Eye Level Centre." -- Madam Mavis Tay, Edgefield Plains Centre (2020)
"It has always been a goal for myself to start a business at some point in my life. I wanted to do something that I am good in and have passion for. Education sector seems the best choice for me since I have been giving private tuition for the last 17 years. I enjoyed helping students learn smarter and better, resulting in improvement of their grades.
I have two kids (8 years old boy and 4 years old daughter), and a lovely and supporting wife. I decided to pursue my goal and be more directly involved in my children's education after discussing with my wife. A franchise model suits us most as it reduces the risk and speeds up the start of owning a business. I looked around for a suitable education franchise and settled with Eye Level. I liked the fact that at Eye Level, students master every learning concept through individualized coaching with a small step approach. I looked through the material and curriculum charts and they resonated with me on how detailed and structured an enrichment education program should be. This is something that I would want my kids to experience!
The whole Eye Level education experience can be best summed up with this statement which I strongly advocate: We nurture Problem Solvers, Critical Thinkers and Lifelong Learners. I made my decision and took my first step.
How about you?" -- Mr Ashton Ang, Woodgrove Centre (2020)
"I started Eye Level 3 years ago and the last 3 years had been a fulfilling journey for me. Coming from a telecommunications career and stepping in the education sector was indeed a daunting experience for me. However, as I see the students coming to Eye Level every week and seeing how they have benefited from the system and gaining confidence in their lives – it is yet the greatest satisfaction and decision ever. I chose Eye Level over other education schools because of Eye Level’s systematic approach to learning and its unique approach to building the child’s foundation. Students reap tremendous benefits from individualized coaching and self-directed learning and this study discipline transcends into a solid foundation to doing well in school and in life. I remembered with pride how Eye Level West Coast Plaza had helped one student – she is a non-native English student; through a lot of hard work and practise she managed not only to learn to speak and read English, but also managed to get into a local school and now excelling in our local school system. Another proud moment is when we accepted a child in P5 who came in with a very weak foundation in Mathematics. With constant practice and encouragement from the teachers, he managed to improve and eventually passed PSLE Mathematics last year (2019), and now progressing to Secondary School. I am happy to be given this opportunity to change the lives of our students and I will continue to provide and support the residents in West Coast in the years to come." -- Madam Jenny Wang, West Coast Plaza Centre (2020)
