Get a Head-Start in your Lower Secondary English during the coming holidays!

THE INTENDED OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE:

The four session crash course is focused on helping students who have lacked the confidence or the appropriate skills to meet the challenging, academic demands of the subject. The aims of the course are as follows:

i) To set high expectations and to ensure all students are engaged in varied, customised activities to master the relevant skills;

ii) To establish positive routines that will enable students to work with vigour and rigour, thus adding consistency, and at the same time, a joy for learning  in their learning pursuits;

iii) To reinforce the importance of the desired qualities for success such as being motivated, passionate, accountable, resilient and goal-driven.  

iv) To provide creative ways to sustain students’ interest in learning, and to boost their confidence to make continuous improvement.

THE CORE ASPECTS OF THE COURSE  

The course covers the following aspects which are generally in close alignment with MOE curriculum guidelines and assessment modes. Students will sit for a diagnostic assessment to look at the areas where help is needed. In addition to covering the core components such as essay writing skills, comprehension and summary writing skills,  as well as oral skills, there will be opportunities for students to grasp the importance of reading. Students who are able to read widely and explore various themes, exposed to a wide choice of relevant and useful vocabulary, and to reflect and express their views on various issues. Excerpts from newspapers articles, magazines and brochures will be used often to sharpen skills in editing and visual texts. Sample assessment papers will also be provided to gauge the students’ mastery of the required skills. Overall, students will benefit from the authentic learning tasks and the engaging pedagogical methods of learning.  

ABOUT THE TUTOR:

The Tutor is very experienced and is well versed with the MOE academic guidelines and expectations for the relevant subjects. His extensive experience in MOE schools, both at middle management level as well as in the instructional programmes, will certainly enable the students to gain confidence and valuable guidance, in addition to coping with the challenges they face in their academic areas. The students will greatly benefit from such soft skills like teamwork, the ability to communicate effectively, to think creatively, to build empathy, and to enhance their interpersonal skills. When students are motivated and inspired by caring and competent tutors,  they will be able to let their wings fly and soar. Learning effectively is, without a doubt, all about connecting with the students. It will be our ultimate success when each student can faithfully reiterate the following mantra: “My hunger for success is fuelled by my passion, attitude, curiosity and tenacity.”
