HCI & NYGH Students Can’t Get Enough Of Our Tuition: Here’s Why

We get asked this question a lot: Why open a tuition centre in Bukit Timah when there are already so many of them? Why compete with some of the best tuition providers and star tutors who have open up shop there?

Despite the huge concentration of tuition centres in Bukit Timah, we still see good business at our Beauty World branch, especially from students from schools like Hwa Chong, Nanyang, NJC, and MGS.

In fact, Bukit Timah is home to so many great schools, also including Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, St Joseph’s Institution, and Anglo-Chinese School.

With so many great tuition options in Bukit Timah, there must be some good reasons that still attract students to our centre.

And what reasons might these be? Let’s find out!

We are experts in the IP curriculum

Take a look at the schools in Bukit Timah – many are schools with the Integrated Programme, which mean that students do not take the O levels and instead proceed to their affiliated JC to take the A levels or IB exams at the end of their 6^th year.

Even though the IP system has been around for some time, you can’t walk into any tuition centre and expect their tutor to be equipped to teach IP Math tuition, for example. The IP curriculum differs significantly enough from the mainstream O level syllabus, for example, in terms of topics, teaching sequence, depth of content, difficulty of exam questions, and format of exam papers.

Here at Future Academy, our team comprises tutors with IP school teaching experience. Some have taught in these very schools themselves – including Hwa Chong Institution, Nanyang Girls’ High School, and more. As such, you can expect them to understand the rigour of the syllabus, and the best ways to teach it.

Our solid track record says it all

We don’t make these up. Our students’ exam papers, results, and their high praises for our tutors, show just what kind of tuition standards we uphold ourselves to. We have a solid track record that we are proud of, including bringing students from ‘just pass’ marks to ‘B’s and ‘A’s!

Besides the grades, many of our students and their parents end up recommending us to their siblings, relatives, and friends, which in our opinion, is one of the highest compliments we can get!

Just have a look for yourself – below are some of the impressive results by our students.

We’re right next to the Downtown Line

Tuition is supposed to be a time-saver. So why spend extra time travelling a long distance to tuition class?

For all you Bukit Timah students (e.g. HCI, NYGH, NJC, MGS), our Bukit Timah branch is conveniently located next to Beauty World MRT station on the Downtown Line. A quick MRT or bus ride is all it takes to reach us, so you can save up your time and energy for better things.

For those further down the blue line (e.g. SCGS, SJI, ACSI), you can also reach us at our Bugis branch near Rochor MRT station.

Some schools get their own exclusive class

Ever tried joining a group tuition class, only to find that the pacing and topics are so different from what your school is teaching?

Curriculum and teaching sequence can vary from school to school, even if they are all IP schools. The only way to properly match the teaching requirements of each school, then, is to have school-specific classes.

When demand calls for it, we run school-specific classes which ensure our curriculum matches your school’s to a T. You’ll never have to worry that we’re not in sync with your assessments schedule or teaching sequence, as we will plan teaching and revision time according to your school’s programme.

Currently, we have some ongoing IP Combined Science Tuition classes for HCI students, and more will be added in time to come!

Learn better in our cosy small group classes

It is widely believed that a smaller class size is better for learning. Students in small classes get more attention from their teacher, and they get more chances to voice their opinions or ask questions.

Unfortunately, we can’t find that happening in schools in Singapore. In most schools, including NYGH and HCI, the class size is about 30 students. So, it is up to us to create the small group environment here in our tuition classes!

We cap our tutor-student ratio at 1:6, ensuring a conducive and nurturing classroom environment for all students. Like to have more chances to ask your tutor questions in class? Too shy to speak up in a large class? Our classes may be just right for you!

Conclusion

These key reasons alone are enough to keep the HCI and NYGH students coming! And if you know any HCI or NYGH students, the fact that these knowledge-hungry, grades-oriented, ambitious learners choose to entrust their after-school study to us, that says something.

So, if you’re looking for a tuition that offers support for the IP curriculum, is easily accessible to your school in the Bukit Timah area, and has a history of producing good results, here we are. Check out our popular classes and enquire to sign up today!
