By reverse engineering the past 10 years’ worth of Geography questions from the relevant examination and school prelim papers, we identify the crucial content that is frequently tested and essential for the students to understand.
By reverse engineering the past 10 years’ worth of Geography questions from the relevant examination and school prelim papers, we identify the crucial content that is frequently tested and essential for the students to understand.
This allow us to scope down the syllabus to more bite size information that is easy for the students to pick up and apply for each chapter.
Further practice of the basic question types during class will strengthen the student’s fundamentals to allow them to perform and excel in school exams and the final O levels.
Our science lessons are structured around the key concepts to be taught. Each lesson is designed to cover a few key concepts. After which, our questions are segmented into difficulty level and question types.
By immediately letting students try out relevant questions after the key concept is taught, students are able to better identify the type of question in the exam. As students begin to realise how to identify the key question types, we proceed to go through harder questions and application questions.
This allows our students to gain a mastery of the key concept and to approach examination questions with a clear framework.
An Emphasis On First Principles
As the examination questions have increasingly become more application based, we now focus a lot on application questions. By designing our syllabus to be based on key, fundamental concepts, our students will be able to learn on first principles and be prepared for any curveball that is thrown at them during their examinations.
An Orientation Towards Results
Key to scoring is knowing the the mark scheme. We have studied years of mark schemes to understand what examiners require. Our notes and teachers emphasise suggested templated answering schemes to ensure our students are able to score every mark. With our carefully curated worksheets and revision packaged,
our students are given the opportunity to refine their technique and accurately identify question types in their major examinations. This allows them to accelerate their progress and score well.
From previous experience, students who previously were failing see rapid improvement after attending a few months of classes while students who already have a key foundational understanding quickly jump up to be top students.
Our teaching pedagogy was developed after years of trial and error. From the feedback we got from both parents and students, we scrutinised our methodology and consulted with education psychology experts to refine our methods.
We incorporate the various scientifically-backed methods. For instance, we revisit previous key topics at the start of class to incite long-term memory of key concepts in our students
. Our worksheets are curated to ensure that questions allow students to revisit key concepts. All these to ensure that our students achieve their maximum potential effeciently without burning out.
We have studied the science behind learning. As educators, we are obsessed about learning how to learn. As individuals, everyone’s learning needs and way of learning differs.
During your first class, our tutors will talk to new students and understand what issues you are facing. After a few lessons, our team will accurately diagnose and pinpoint the key areas the student is lacking in before coming up with an individualised plan to help them improve.
At this juncture, the journey to excellence has just begun. Follow-up is necessary and our team is committed in following up with each and every student. Students are assigned a ‘form tutor’ who will check in on their academic targets and results.
Even for subjects they do not follow us for. This is because we are passionate about what we do and are motivated to help students achieve their best potential.
Tailored To The School Syllabus:
Lessons are designed to follow the school syllabus. We have learning checkpoints to ensure that our students achieves a critical level of understanding for each learning milestone.
A deeper understanding of the syllabus also helps our students become more interested in learning as they reach new epiphanies in conceptual understanding.
Don’t expect to walk in to a lecture with many other students from different schools; we like to create an intimate class environment with students of the same school.
This allows rapport to be built quickly and for our teachers to follow the school syllabus. We don’t see a point in teaching a topic that the school isn't covering.
Fostering Independent Learning :
Give a man a fish. Beyond the exams lays an entire lifetime of learning. As our students graduate, the academic requirements required of him increases substantially.
We inculcate a sense of self-responsibility during lessons through our self-review system. Our teachers sit down with our students and a aid their progression by helping them schedule their time.
We realise that many students are paralysed by the sheer amount of work to be done; by helping them break it up into steps and telling them which to prioritise, they are able to quickly improve.
By teaching our students not just what to know but how to, we attempt to build the best possible foundation for his or her future. We find this is especially useful in written papers like Economics and GP, where questions are getting increasingly complex.
Inspring A Winning Mentality :
Life is full of ups and downs. Through resilience, comes breakthrough. We hope to inspire a winning mentality in every student through encouragement and goal-setting.
Students are encouraged to set their academic goals which our teachers follow up on with them. By facilitating our students' to set the actionable steps he or she needs to achieve their targets, it breeds a winning mentality crucial for life’s journey.
We take it upon ourselves to inspire and motivate our students. Our teachers do an academic standing report with their students after every major exam to help them take stock and plan their way as they navigate towards an A.
Tailored Education. As you can see, we are very personalised. Just like how ever student is different, every subject is different as well. It is impossible to force a simple framework upon each individual subject.
Instead, we approach each subject differently based on what we notice works best for ours students. At the heart of everything is our drive to help our students improve exponentially and efficiently.
It is possible to score an A grade for subjects like Geography. Our tutors impart critical thinking skills that enable your child to assess and discuss important ideas and concepts independently. Students who follow our methodologies and essay-writing techniques will feel confident
