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.”

Year 4 / Year 5 / JC1 (2019) Head Start General Paper (GP)
To all students who are preparing to go into JC, wonderful! In JC, you will be introduced to this subject called General Paper, which is one of the subjects examined in A-levels.
What is General Paper?
General Paper is probably one of the most misunderstood subjects, and ironically so because it requires the most understanding in order to do well.
Here are 5 common misconceptions General Paper (GP) debunked:
- My English grade was not good, therefore I will struggle at GP.
DEFINITELY NOT! GP is not about how well you write, but more about what you write. This means that your ideas and thoughts are far more important.
2. GP requires me to read a lot
Whilst this is partially true, it isn’t as hellish as most students make it out to be. Having a lot of content knowledge is pointless if you have no idea how to use it. APPLICATION of that knowledge is everything.
3. Like English, I don’t really have to study for GP. I either have it or I don’t.
False! GP is a lot about skills and techniques, which can definitely be practiced under the right supervision. Essays are not free-response, hence there are helpful structures that can be learned and applied.
4. Reading model essays will improve my GP grade.
Not as much as you may think. Many different schools idealise different types of essay styles. What this means is that there is no one best way of writing. Having said that, there are specific techniques that can be used by students to cover their weaknesses and highlight their strengths.
5. GP is not as important a subject as compared to Maths and Science
This is the biggest misconception of them all, and most students realize this too late, by which time there is little that can be done. GP equips you with a set of soft skills that are the most versatile and flexible, that can be used for a wide variety of professions. Any job that requires problem solving will rely on a student with strong GP skills.
So why do a Headstart programme?
General Paper is statistically the subject students struggle with the most. Not because it is difficult, but rather because students neglect it till it is too late. By starting early, you will be able to establish a strong foundation that will allow you to begin thinking of the issues in a much more in-depth level at a much quicker rate. Also, GP is perhaps the one subject where consistency is key, and you cannot cram your learning. So a Headstart Programme is even more crucial. So come join me and set yourself up for success!
