Finding an English tutor is like finding a needle in a haystack. Although there are many English tutors and tuition centres out there, the right tutor with adequate qualifications, experience, and teaching style is rare.
One thing you may want to look out for are the type of lesson resources and teaching feedback that tutors give their students. These are a big part of learning a language-based subject, which is why ensuring the quality of your tutor is so important!
For this reason, we have prepared some samples of what our students get in our secondary school or IP English tuition class. From example lesson notes to samples of marked essays, feel free to browse and even use them for your own revision!
Led by experienced tutors
All these feedback, lesson notes, and teaching are led by experienced tutors in the field. Coming as former MOE school teachers, our English tutor team understands the demands of the syllabus and common pain points of local secondary school students. This allows them to channel their experience and know-how into creating the best possible learning resources and teaching approaches to benefit our students!
Thematic and organised resources
Learning a non-content subject like English can be tough, but our lesson notes makes it digestible and easy-to-understand by breaking things down into key concepts and examples. Covering essential skills from comprehension answering techniques to essay-writing, lessons are holistic yet customisable to each student’s most pressing needs.
Hands-on practice
Of course, English as a subject isn’t something you can just ‘cram’. Practice is crucial, and we can help you with that, too! Our tutors keep abreast with the most up-to-date exam trends and syllabus to provide students with suitable practice questions each lesson. As long as you put in the work, you can expect to receive constructive and targeted feedback that will help you improve rapidly.
Sample Lesson notes
Example essays
Examples of good secondary school English essays serve as a guiding light for students to emulate. We regularly share outstanding essays for students to read, get inspired, and analyse, so that they can identify what it is that makes these essays exemplary. Our sample essays range from whole essays (e.g. in different genres) to selected sections (e.g. different types of introductions), giving students a wide selection to learn from, no matter what topic they encounter.
Sample marked work
The key to improving in essay writing is getting timely and accurate feedback. Our tutors spend a significant amount of time to mark each student’s work – not just for errors, but also to suggest improvements. Thankfully, our small class sizes facilitate this, so each tutor can dedicate sufficient effort and attention into each piece of writing to provide detailed comments.
