About Us
Golden Microphone's unique eloquence and traditional Chinese culture courses enable numerous students to unleash their inner potential through lively and engaging learning methods and a comprehensive presentation of voice, stage presence, and physical expression. This transforms shy and timid individuals into confident, courageous, and expressive children. Through various forms such as speech, debate, recitation, presentation, drama, opera, singing, dancing, and traditional folk arts, children inherit Chinese culture, appreciate the beauty of the Chinese language, and develop clear, fluent, and diverse native language expression skills. The program has also nurtured hundreds of students who have won national championships, runner-up, third-place prizes, gold, silver, bronze, and excellence awards in storytelling, speech, recitation, and debate competitions, and has been featured in numerous media reports.
Since its inception, Golden Microphone's Chinese tutoring courses have helped students achieve excellent results in the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and the "O" Level Examination year after year. Many students have studied here from primary school all the way to secondary school graduation. As a result, students and parents have developed a deep bond with the center, which has also earned the center a good reputation.
In addition, the center has been invited to conduct high-quality teaching classes for Primary 6 Leaving Examination (PSLE) reading comprehension, oral exam, and composition for many primary and secondary schools; as well as "O" Level Chinese reading comprehension and Chinese oral exam preparation courses, helping more students improve their test-taking abilities. These efforts have been well-received by schools and students.
