The challenges of IP education are open ended. It is tough to find the right assessment books for extra practice questions, the right textbooks for reference, or even the right advice to follow. Tuition classes also typically cater to the mainstream students, and IP students may feel neglected in such classes due to the differences in Syllabus or mentality. The pace in IP schools is accelerated, due to the fact that most of the students excel in Mathematics and Sciences at the P6 level, and are all top students of their individual Primary Schools. In such a highly competitive environment with students who are years ahead of the mainstream syllabus, olympiad medalists, or foreign scholars, they will experience difficulty in recovering, and even feel demoralized as their friends move ahead of them daily.

The IP system is designed to nurture critical thinkers, self directed learners, as well as all rounded students, which is a test of time management. Therefore, the schools expects their students to uphold a strict level of discipline, as well as actively seek solutions to the questions they give, be it in project work, in assignment questions, or in leadership positions for various CCAs. There is no official guideline or guidebook that is found in the market such as the 10year series. IP questions are often derived from JC level tutorial questions or even higher, which can cause some problems when parents seek help from a tutor who is preoccupied with students of various different streams. The curriculum is also dynamic, changing in a 2 year cycle, with the inclusion of creative higher order thinking questions that most teachers or university graduates find puzzling.

What we prioritize in class is a nimble and dynamic curriculum tailored to suit their needs. Questions are scaffolded to help them build content mastery (Assessment objective 1) quickly, and move on to questions dealing with critical thinking (Assessment objective 2 & 3) to handle their school’s papers. As specialized tutors, we also have good classroom management practices, taking into account their busy schedules and having our timetable tailored to fit them. Should you require additional help during class, rescheduling due to CCA competition, or after school consultation, the same tutor will always be available. Students who are particularly struggling with completing their schoolwork will also be given the assistance they need in class.

We understand that IP students from different schools might have slightly different syllabuses. With that in mind, our classes are designed with small groups in mind to facilitate consultation and ensure that each student gets the help they need, prioritizing immediate feedback, and students being able to movie at their own pace. With customized lecture and tutorial materials, and a phletora of additional educational resources which are updated yearly to keep up with the constant changes in the Integrated Programme school system, the class is fully equipped to handle the needs of your child.

At Singapore Learner, we ensure we have a strong team of full time tutors from top schools or IP background to cater to IP students so that they excel in our classes.

INTEGRATED PROGRAMME HOLIDAY COURSES

IP Y1-Y4 SCIENCE PRACTICALS

IP INDIVIDUAL TUITION (1-1)

IP TUITION JUNE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

ALL CURRENT EXISTING TUITION CLASSES WILL BE RUNNING HEADSTART AND RELEARNING PROGRAM DURING THE JUNE HOLIDAY PERIOD. INTERESTED PARENTS PLEASE TEXT TO CONFIRM THE DETAILS AND ARRANGE A SCHEDULE

Integrated Programme Math and Science Intensive Revision Tuition for June Holiday.

If you are a parent of a child currently studying in an IP (integrated programme) school, and worried the next written assessment, now is the time to take action and sign up for our revision course.

At the start of 2023, several IP schools have implemented a project based assessment, on top of additional CCA commitments. If your child has missed lessons, is behind in their studies, lacking in content knowledge or answering skills, the June holiday period is a great time for them to catch up.

Classes are sorted based on the student’s needs, be it re-learning of previously covered topics, or going ahead to understand new concepts before the new school term hits, or doing past year papers to make up for the shortfall of not having mid-year exams. Current active slots are based on our regular tuition slots, PM us directly to arrange a session, or if you have queries on alternative scheduling and the content of our classes.

NEW PROMOTION
SIGN UP AS A GROUP OF FRIENDS AT THE TIMESLOT OF YOUR CHOOSING AND RECEIVE A GROUP DISCOUNT

We aim to consistently update our teaching methods and classroom management style to best suit the teaching of IP syllabus. In order to cater to the Y3Y4 upper secondary students with tight schedules, we offer a dual track Science system for physics and chemistry in the same slot. Contact the tutor to be allocated into the timeslot suitable for you.

IP Practical:
The importance of IP practical will be in two areas.

1. To prepare students for the rigor of H2 and higher level Sciences at the A-level standard. The IP system ends at Y6 where the students have to take A-level, for paper 4 of the A-level Sciences, students will be assessed on their ability to confidently set up experiments, record data, troubleshoot devices, and analyze their readings. Paper 4 is 20% of the final grade for A-levels. Due to time constraint, IP schools may deprioritize full lab sessions which can take up to 2.5h, making students under prepared for A-levels. Practical sessions for IP are strongly recommended to give the students enough lead time and get in that muscle memory in order to have a perfect score for their A-level Sciences paper 4. Even if in Y1-Y4, practical is only part of a formative assessment, an exposure to practical periodically will significantly enhance the student’s understanding of Science and eventually prepare them to do well for A-levels.
2. As dynamic and holistic as the IP curriculum is, with the use of graded projects acting as formative assessment, there is a way to ensure you get an A grade. The curriculum is an enhancement for the secondary school syllabus set by the curriculum planning & development division for MOE, and with that in mind, its likely that the projects rely heavily on competency in conducting practical. Having familiarity with the tools given in secondary level sciences will help the IP students in confidently completing their science projects in a timely and orderly fashion, getting that A, and getting back on track for their written theory components.

With that being said, we are the ONLY centre with a fully equipped lab running from 9am-9pm every single day, with tutors fully equipped to teach practical to a high level of both precision and accuracy. Bookings can be done on an adhoc basis, REGARDLESS OF CLASS SIZE, which is something that no other centre can offer. Current IP students with Singapore learner can receive up to 50% discount for practicals and get assigned priority timings. Drop us a text to inquire more.
