This is a 10-month programme. Ideally you should enrol in January as the A-Levels is a rigorous exam.
Subjects currently offered: H2 Math, H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2 Economics, H1 General paper.
Note that if you are a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, to get into a local university like NUS or NTU, you will only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.
Although you will need to do 4 subjects at the A-Levels, at Singapore Learner Academy, you can choose to sign up for less than 4 subjects if you feel that you can study the remaining subjects by yourself.
Fee Matters:
The fee per month for each subject is $480. Fees are due in the first week of each month.
One-time Registration Fee for each student is $20.
Materials fee per non-science subject is $90 while that for a science subject is $150, for the whole course.
A Deposit equivalent to one-month’s fee is payable upon registration. (This Deposit will be used as fee for October)

However, graduating students may be asked to attend extra lessons or take internal examinations in the June holidays.

FAQ
FAQ1: If I’m a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.
FAQ2: If I’m a private candidate doing the A-Levels for the first time, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You’ll need to do 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 content subject, GP and MT. Total 6 subjects.
FAQ3: If I’m a private candidate, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into an overseas university like in the UK or Australia?
Most overseas universities accept just 3 H2 subjects. Even GP is not needed. However some universities may expect a fourth subject, which can be a H1 or H2 subject, but it is safer to take a H2 subject.
GENERAL PAPER JUNE HOLIDAYS PROGRAMME
General Paper Programme Outline
This is an intensive system designed to equip you with the essential tools needed.
Duration: 3 sessions (3hours each)
Course Levels available:
-
A) FOUNDATION BUILDING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades below C)
-
B) FINE-TUNING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades C and above. This course will skip fundamental work and zero-in on precision writing techniques)
*note: Course fees are identical for both programmes. Choose the one that best suits your immediate needs and circumstances.
—————————————————————————————————-
Overview of primary Components:
1) Essay writing techniques- Question choice & analysis, essay structures, formulating arguments, conveying ideas in effective writing- there are essays, and then there are exam-essays.
2) Comprehension skills- critical reading, question analysis, effective paraphrasing and AQ-mastery. Work-arounds and preparation before we even start reading the text is key!
3) Content- Cut down on the need to memorize tons of facts and statistics. Solutions to content-generating that will save you hours each day!
———————————————————————————————————–
Workshop structure:
Session 1: Essay writing
Dates: (Course A- May 30th/June 13th, Course B: June 6/21st )
From planning to execution. Using time effectively to maximise the quality of your essay: a step-by-step guide on how to tackle any question in Paper 1. Materials include a 101-essential checklist for every student, sample essays/paragraphs, discussion of examination questions to cover a broad range of topics/areas of focus.
Session 2: Comprehension
Dates: (Course A: May 31st/June 14th, Course B: June 7th/22nd )
Critical reading and prepping effectively to ensure the most coverage of the passage, as well as systematic addressing of the various question types. Paraphrasing techniques and practices will also be the focus as this skill is of core importance to this paper, and one many students overlook. Finally, deciphering the AQ- how to maximise marks in a time-pressured window. Materials will include a handout covering various question types, sample/excerpts from a wide range of JC examination papers, as well as sample AQs from past year Cambridge papers.
Session 3: Content
Dates: (Course A: June 1st/15th, Course B: June 8th/23rd)
General knowledge is key to scoring well. But often times, it is not the volume, but rather the quality, and application. Content-manipulation/generation can often dramatically cut back on hours spent memorising facts and stats for the mere sake of doing so. Students will be shown, through a variety of methodologies (mind-maps, issue-linking, thinking structures etc) how to prepare for the subject efficiently. Realising that topics/modules should never be approached as separate entities also falls in-line with the changing trends of GP questions set by Cambridge, where essay questions are often multi-faceted.
—————————————————————————————————–
Course take-homes:
LET’S MAKE THINKING FUN AGAIN
Appreciation of GP beyond just a subject, but rather gaining a set of skills that can be applied throughout various aspects of life and academia. Debunking myths such as “the more I know, the better I’ll do”, and finally, re-discovering the passion for learning over the need for studying.
Attendees of the workshop will also gain unlimited access to my web-blog, which houses a repository of articles, sample essays/AQ responses, as well as revision essentials.

Re-taking A-levels
If you have read my posts (1) What to do if your A-level results are bad … and (2) A-Level Results: What to do if you get BAD or DEAD, i.e., the ‘middle class’, and you would like to re-take your A-Levels, then I suggest you don’t waste any more time as the next A-Levels is very near already, just a few months down the road.
Retaking A-Levels is not easy, depending on whether you are a full-time student, working, or doing NS.
The ideal situation is when you can choose to become a full-time student, as retaking A-Levels needs a high degree of commitment. If you wish to become our full-time student, then you can click on the following for details: A-LEVEL PREPARATION
If you are working part-time or full-time or doing NS, and you are serious about retaking your A-levels, then you’d need to meet up with me to work out a suitable arrangement.
Rgds,
Ilyasa (hp: 97860411)
