What to do if you are failing in Integrated Programme?

Throughout the years, be it from my personal experience in the Integrated Programme system, or from the many IP students under my wing and those who come for free consultations, I have encountered all the different types of IP students. But one problem still bugs me, and that problem is this:

If you are a student who is failing in the IP system, what should you do? Besides investing heavily in tuition, here are some steps you can take in order to troubleshoot your problems.

  1. Am I working hard enough? That is the most basic question you have to ask yourself. The IP system is meant to be more challenging. Putting in little effort in your studies is just shortchanging yourself. As an IP student, you need to develop the mentality of working harder and being more proactive in your studies. So for those of you who have been slacking off, work harder and don’t give up! You are in the IP system for a reason, with enough work you will catch up and pull through. Practice some delayed gratification, put aside your playthings and put in the work. You will be surprised at what you can do once you put in more effort.
  2. I worked hard but failed, and now I feel really bad, what should I do? First of all, working hard alone doesn’t guarantee success, especially if you have been going in the wrong direction. Seek help from your school teachers first! The IP teachers I know are very caring, and they do their best to help you if you were to meet them halfway. Schedule a consultation with your teachers in the library to clarify all your doubts. It is likely that you have a deep conceptual error in the subject that went unaddressed, or you cannot understand the objectives of the exam questions. Your teachers will be able to help you with those problems as they are the experts. With their guidance, you should be able to do well. Never be shy in asking questions, especially when you are struggling. Many students before you have struggled as well, but with the help of their teachers, they have done very well for themselves eventually. Don’t give up!
  3. I have worked hard, sought help from my teachers, and it doesn’t seem to be working, what do I do now? Usually, this problem occurs when a student has taken the wrong subject combination. Students can take a combination because they have more friends in the same class, only to realize they do not have the aptitude for the subject or have no interest in the subject. If that happens, seek advice from your teacher in order to change your subject combination to something that suits you more. It is a drastic change, but it is necessary if you have exhausted all means and do not see a way out. If you have taken too many subjects, you might want to consider dropping one as you cannot handle the workload. Additionally, if the level as a whole is not doing well in certain subjects due to a sudden increase difficulty, there will be steps taken in order to moderate the scores. As long as you show good effort and attitude, you will eventually pass.
  4. I don’t see the point of all of this system, and I had enough. What else is there to do? At this point as a student, you might feel helpless because you have encountered certain emotional problems, and are struggling in a competitive system. Please seek help from your school counselor and address your emotional issues. It is equally important to take care of your mental well being besides your studies. Having a healthy mindset will put you back on the right path to success.

Every year, there will be IP students who are failing, have failed/retained, or have stopped attending school altogether. This is a matter that is close to my heart, as I have had good friends who struggled through such tough times. But I have also seen them rise above the occasion and bounce back. If you require a consultation about your options, or maybe even just a listening ear, please Whatapps Admin Staff to schedule a free consultation at 88765498. Do not despair, keep your chin up, and I wish you all the best in your studies.

Head Start for GP

There is now a shift to more self-directed learning as we strive to nurture the analytical mind of all our pre-University candidates. Needless to say, this is but one of many challenges the JC student has to undertake. Add onto that the often-times daunting school commitments and activities, students find themselves having to prioritize. This is never a good thing when every subject counts in a syllabus so dense and rigorous that it almost feels crafted to leave as many students behind as it seeks to identify those that will excel.
It is with this in mind that we here at SG Learner have formulated a specific series of programmes to aid students in getting a buffered beginning to the next phase of their academic career. General Paper is a subject many struggle with, and much of that is attributed to not having a solid foundation on which to build upon.
The GP Headstart Programme will introduce the essentials and philosophy of the subject that many schools here spend little time focusing on. We aim to build a student’s confidence and ability in the subject right from the beginning- something vital to eventual mastery for the major exams and assessments.

Four Sundays 29 Nov 2021 to 20 Dec 2021

11am to 1230pm via zoom

$300 for 4 sessions.

$30 registration fee for new students.

IMPORTANCE of HEAD START for ECONOMICS

Hi all,

I am Mr Jimmy Teh, currently a tutor for Economics Headstart and Relearning Programme with SG Learner.

I have taught in JC since 2008, before venturing into tuition in 2015.

As a former teacher who was once in a mainstream school, I am aware of the rigour of JC curriculum and how it is designed to promote critical thinkers and self-directed learners. However, there will be times when it will be difficult, especially during the whole preparation for the new term, orientations for the group leaders and even those competing and preparing for their CCA major competitions.

Thus, I feel it will be crucial to have programmes specially catered to these group of students who might find their first term of school to be exceedingly overwhelming and would prefer to have some fundaments covered.

These courses are planned with a unique set of notes for easy learning and come with its own diagnostics to help you to identify the root cause of your issues, be it inadequacies in the understanding of content, unable to tackle the question fully or not using the right words for the answers.

Work done will also be fully assessed, with sufficient rigour and exposure in these programmes.

So feel free to join me in our programs at Bukit Batok!

Contact 6569 4897 or whatsapp 9385 5341 for more details.
