WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU SIGN UP WITH ME

IP / IB Practice Papers

Practice makes perfect but IP / IB school students bemoan the fact that they don't get enough practice before they are tested. As my student, you will have access to regular practice papers and mock exam papers specially designed by me to meet your IP / IB school curriculum. They will be closely modelled after your school's past year papers to give you ample practice before your tests and exams.

Close Guidance for Weighted Assignments

Every mark counts. All students have the option of focusing on their Weighted Assignments during class, and/or scheduling private consultation for extra guidance on top of regular class.

English & Literature Combined

Kill two birds with one stone. Instead of paying double for two subjects, attend classes with me. My students can choose when to focus on English or Literature, according to their school's assessment schedule.

Bespoke Classes

You are unique. Maybe you're studying a specific set of Lit texts, or want to form a class with only friends from your school. I have the expertise to help you with any text, and I'm willing to open exclusive classes for you and your friends. Lessons will be tailored according to your requirements.

Small Class Size

Too many cooks spoil the broth. In my classes of no more than 12 students, you will take part in effective discussions and gain new insights from one another, while receiving dedicated attention from me.

Online Classes

Time is precious. Save travelling time by opting for online classes. My online classes are so effective that 100% of my students have opted to stay online even after the Circuit Breaker.

Stability

You're in it for the long haul. And so am I. It will take years to get ready for the International Baccalaureate and GCE A-Levels, and I'll be with you every step of the way. Classes will not halt because I'm entering university, having university exams or starting my career. I'm neither a JC/uni student nor school teacher teaching tuition part-time. I'm a Professor — I teach many students, every day, for many years.

Regular Updates

All parents want the best for their children. Parents will receive monthly reports via WhatsApp on what have been covered during lessons and their child's progress throughout the month.

ALL CLASSES

ENGLISH

English classes begin at Secondary 1. I have a track record of helping students transit smoothly from PSLE English to higher level demands. Whether you are in the express stream sitting for your 'O' Level or in the IP/IB programme, I will make sure that you continue to excel.

LITERATURE

Of all subjects, Literature seems the most elusive. But believe it or not, there are very specific skills of reasoning and argument that may be acquired. Learn to write literary responses that will gain you the maximum number of marks. It is possible to score an A for Lit.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Nobody can be absolutely sure what an IP school's LA syllabus will be like. Every school has its own programme and it is likely to be updated every couple of years. Under my tutelage, you will be well prepared to meet any task and to score an A for it.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

Learn to write the ever-challenging argumentative essay. You will acquire research skills and emerge with an essay or two that will withstand the harshest scrutiny. Learn from someone who teaches at the university, and who writes academically on a regular basis. Learn from the best.

COMPREHENSION & SUMMARY

Comprehension at secondary school and JC require higher order thinking skills. Learn to recognise imagery, metaphors, similes and analogies. Develop your abilities to connect concepts and paraphrase. Most importantly, master inferential skills and acquire the habit of critical thinking. Score full marks for this paper.

GENERAL PAPER

General Paper is a compulsory H1 subject in Junior College. Waste no time in getting ready for it. Familiarise yourself with ideas across all disciplines, as well as issues of both local interest and global concern. Learn to research, evaluate arguments and write clearly.

PROJECT WORK

Ace your Project Work, no matter the topic. Embark on a course of research that will produce fruitful results. Learn to write a lucid report and become an impressive presenter. In other words, acquire skills that will ensure your success in JC, and take you beyond that. Be prepared to scale the corporate ladder of the working world.

PORTFOLIO PREPARATION

If you are hoping to be admitted to the most prestigious literary programmes in Singapore, this is the perfect class for you. Put together a creative writing portfolio under my guidance and submit it to the Creative Writing Programme and Creative Arts Programme held by the Gifted Education Branch of MOE. Or apply for an international Fine Arts programme. Dream big, the sky's the limit.

SPECIAL CONSULTATION

Book a special consultation with me. You decide on whether you need 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours. It can be one-off or a series of sessions. We will work on anything that you need help with. Perhaps you would like to engage my services for a particular assignment. Or perhaps you are applying for a scholarship, a special programme, the college of your dreams.
