When you (and we in the Student Care Centre) discovered your child is lost in a haze of elementary grammar rules, sinking fast in a jumble of triangle law, means they need help quickly, before they fall way behind the class and never recover.

Many parents simply send their children to the “best” tuition centre in town, but was later discover that their children did not achieve the expected results.

The tuition can become counter productive because it has subjected the student to long hours of learning on the subject that they dislike, which further deteriorate their interest in studying.  Intensive tuition could also result in altering the learning attitudes of students.  They pay less attention in school since they think they always have their tutor to depend on.

Our tutors know well of the above negative factors, they aim to help the child rebuild their interest and confident in learning when coaching them.  They carefully evaluate each student in the first few lessons to determine what level of help the kid needs.  Does he/she needs homework help, intensive remediation, or something in between?  What is the child’s learning style? Does he/she learn best by reading, listening, moving, and touching? Does he/she need lots of nurturing or a firm hand, and what motivates and interests him/her?

Our tutors regularly feedback to the parents on his/her progress and learning attitude, this is our way of helping children to achieve good grades in their school examinations.

Our teachers create materials to target areas where we know students find most challenging.  We believe in encouraging children to interact with their tutor and peers at our centre allows them an edge in school’s oral, comprehension and composition activities.

Creative writing is a good way to encourage children to express their feelings. It helps them to clarify their own ideas and beliefs, and discover what they know or think about a topic.  This produces best results if it’s guided along with teacher’s passion and patience.

Our teachers make use of pictures, mind maps or events which children are familiar with to encourage them to express themselves.  For example, students will have a chance to write about a character in the picture, the character’s physical description, background, with their imagination.  We teach words that enables children to describe the five senses: touch, taste, sound, sight and smell and the importance of observation when writing.  We’ll also talk about how reading could improve their skill in communication and expressing themselves.  Gradually, students are guided to understand that to excel writing, there will be a plot with a problem to solve. Our creative class is well structured and students would be confident with the flow of writing from the beginning to the end

To encourage children to become a confident writers, we need to approach it with:

Reading: Reading from a variety of genres and various different topics is a good way to expose them to find ideas and interests.
Vocabulary: Developing their vocabularies helps children assert their identity and their place in the world.
Giving them time:  Allow children to slow down and take time for processing. Encourage them to create a routine of writing every day.
Environment: The place must feel comfortable, good lighting and guidance from the teacher.
