Attending prestigious schools like Nanyang Girls’ High School and Hwa Chong Institution may seem like a dream come true for many parents. However, a first time parent of a teen in one of these schools may not realise the reality: students often must wrestle in a fiercely competitive academic environment and strive to meet the high expectations from teachers.
Due to the unique circumstances that NYGH and HCI students face, your average tuition centre in Singapore is not prepared to support students from these top-tier schools. An O Level class will not be suitable for an IP student to help them grapple with their academic demands, pressures, and curriculum. That’s where an IP tuition specialist – like us – comes in!
Expertise Rooted in Experience
Our team of tutors includes educators who have extensive experience teaching NYGH and HCI students – including alumni and former teachers of these schools. This unique background allows us to deeply understand and address the challenges you face! In recent years, our students also struggle with the less-structured and independent aspect of learning in these schools. We counter this by offering structured classes tailored to students who prefer organised learning environments.
Knowing that NYGH and HCI exams often feature more challenging and novel questions, we focus on equipping students with exam strategies that enhance their ability to tackle unfamiliar questions, emphasising application skills over rote memorisation.
Aligning Closely with the NYGH and HCI Curriculum
As Independent schools running the Integrated Programme, NYGH and HCI have the flexibility to design their own curriculums. Unlike students in the O Level track, it is not unusual for IP students to cover more topics or delve deeper into certain concepts, sometimes touching upon A Level topics as early as in Sec 3 and 4.
We make every effort to be up-to-date with the latest NYGH and HCI syllabi to ensure our tuition classes, including IP Chemistry Tuition, align closely with the school’s curriculum. This includes following the topics and sequence in which they are taught, a level of customisation not typically found in O Level-focused tuition classes.
Preparing for School Assessments
Our support extends beyond following the schools’ teaching sequences; we also track and assist our students with their school assessments. In the run up to any quizzes or tests, we organise review sessions and mock to help students prepare for the assessments.
Not only that; students seeking help with school projects, such as extended essays, can also consult our tutors. Over so many years of guiding students through similar projects, we are able to offer valuable insights and advice that will challenge your thinking while guiding you along in the right direction.
Inspiring and Motivating Students
In the highly competitive environments of NYGH and HCI, students don’t need any more stress and pressure than they already face. This is the reason why we endeavour to create a supportive and positive learning environment in our classes. And it has worked so far: our students often share that they look forward to classes and enjoy learning with us!
Having warm and friendly tutors helps, as do interactive lessons filled with discussions and demonstrations. We continuously encourage and motivate students through their progress updates as well as rewards for those who improve significantly and achieve excellent results in their school assessments.
