English: Paper 2 (Language Use & Comprehension)
Explained
Meet Daryl.
Daryl is the founder and lead English teacher at Mind's Eye Learning Hub in Balestier, where he teaches PSLE English Composition and Paper 2 to primary school students. He calls himself "The Most Interesting English Teacher" and his mission is simple: make English fun, friendly and familiar. On Instagram (@daryl.mindseyeenglish) he spends a lot of time busting the habits that quietly cost children marks, from memorised model compos to stories packed with characters who do nothing. Parents describe him as patient and encouraging, and say their children come home actually wanting to write.

2 past-year papers
Handpicked by Daryl from real school papers at your child's level - Primary 3–5.
Full marking, by hand
Every question marked the way an examiner would - not based on an answer key that was created by someone unqualified.
15-min correction videos
For each practice, Daryl walks through your child's actual mistakes and how to fix them. If there's more than 15 minutes' worth, Daryl will cover the ones that matter most.
15-min exam insights
At the end of the sprint, Daryl provides you with his observations about your child's performance, as well as specific tips on what to look out for during the exams.
Getting your child to do the paper was never the hard part.
Past-year papers are still one of the best ways to get your child exam-ready - real questions, real exposure, real odds in their favour. Marking it the right way is critical - low quality answer keys result in low quality corrections. Explaining the mistakes accurately, the way a qualified teacher would, is essential - and it's the part you as a parent were never trained for.
- Finding the time to mark every question, every paper, on top of everything else.
- Even when you do, knowing an answer is "wrong" isn't the same as knowing how to explain why.
- Schools don't publish answer keys - the one in your assessment book was written by whoever published it, not MOE or your child's school.
- Being an English-speaking household doesn't necessarily equate to knowing what an examiner is looking for in an answer.
- The papers you buy yourself have no deadline - easy to buy, easy to let sit half-done in a drawer.
- Daryl marks it by hand, the way an examiner would.
- Mistakes are corrected, explained, and recorded - why it's wrong, and exactly how to get it right - rewatchable anytime.
- Marked the way a teacher knows schools actually expect - not someone else's best guess.
- Explained clearly and simply enough for any child to follow along - even if they are weak in English.
- A submission deadline for each paper - so completing it becomes a goal, not just more papers sitting in a drawer.
- One run - no long-term commitment, no recurring fees, but an excellent supplement to tuition.
The finer details about this run.
What happens after I book a slot?
You can start the sprint immediately, or on a particular date if you prefer. The practices will be assigned and provided to you shortly after receiving your booking.
When are the submission deadlines for each practice?
Daryl will set the respective deadlines in a staggered manner, across the entire sprint (total of 8 days minimum for 2 practices) - so that there will be enough time for your child to review the previous practice before attempting the next.
Do I need to follow the submission deadlines?
Yes, please. The deadlines function as a practice routine that your child can follow. Daryl has also planned their schedule around the deadlines. So if you miss a deadline, Daryl will still mark the paper but may not be able to provide the explanation video.
How long should I give my child to complete the practice paper?
This is indicated in the dashboard (as per exam standards). Daryl strongly recommends that your child attempts the paper with a mindset and environment that mimics a dry-run - no distractions, in one sitting, and attempt every question.
How will I know when a new practice is ready or a paper has been marked/explained?
You will see alerts in your run dashboard and you will also receive email notifications regarding the key milestones within the sprint.
What if a sprint is full?
You can join the waitlist and we'll let you know if more slots are made available as well as give you early access for the next one that opens for registration. Slots are limited on purpose: this is so that Daryl can allocate the right amount of time & attention to your child's work.
