1.General Paper - JC
Achieve
Excellence in your Paper 1 - Essay Writing
· A macro
strategy for content mastery - Concise content notes covering all key topics,
with easy-to-remember examples and points that can be easily applied in your
essays, and across all related issues on a specific topic.
· Useful
analysis, theories and insights for different topics, picked up by our teachers
when they were doing their undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in
Cambridge/Oxford/UCL. These are made easy for students to use and apply, giving
them a winning edge over their peers. A significant number of our students score
over 37/50 for their essays.
· Essay
Outlines covering over 50 essay questions so that we tackle all the different
types and sub-types of questions that may appear for a particular topic (e.g.,
for the topic on media and censorship, we cover questions on whether censorship
is good/bad, whether censorship is increasingly challenging to implement, as
well as other aspects of censorship such as the arts and censorship. This gives
you a thorough understanding of censorship and the ability to answer any
question on censorship).
· A thorough
analysis of the 10 different essay question types and special key words,
including how to identify the question, the question requirements, and also
strategies on how to plan and write the essay.
· Learn useful
techniques, structures and strategies at both the micro level (within a
paragraph) and also at the macro level (essay-wide). These strategies were
picked up by our top teachers in their professional training at the master and PhD
level. Given that all our teachers have either a master or PhD level, you can
be assured that you will not be able to learn this anywhere else.
· Regular
micro writing drills and regular feedback for GP essays. Our markers are
highly-experienced, having served in a number of top JCs for numerous years. We
will provide the best and most critical feedback, so you will always be in safe
hands.
Master
your Paper 2 skills - SAQ
· Clear
instruction and regular drill sets covering all the different compre question
types including the step-by-step strategies to find the answer, and important
tips on how to present your answers to get maximum marks.
· We also
provide a list of ‘template’ answers whenever possible, such as for the 6 types
of Author’s Purpose questions, so you will find it increasingly easy to obtain
maximum marks for such questions.
· Macro level
analysis of all A level papers, including an analysis of popular answers
provided by other sources and schools, and why these answers are wrong or not
so precise.
· An efficient
analysis of the A level Marker’s Report from 2013-2021 in which we deconstruct
all the skills needed - such as, for instance, the need to demonstrate a
nuanced appreciation of the language as seen in the 2014 marker’s report.
· Regular
drills are provided, organized based on question types, or as full paper. These
are either covered in class as timed assignments (20-30 mins) or as homework.
Our J2 students will usually cover all the A level papers from 2013 to the
latest year, so you will always be prepared for the national exams.
Strengthen
your Paper 2 Skills - Summary and AQ

understanding of the two different types of summary and the strategies that one
should take to do well in both summary types.

summary drills assigned either as homework or timed practices. Learn to work

structure and winning strategies carefully crafted by our ex-teachers from RI

3.Primary
Our curriculum
focuses on a unique DUAL approach of stretching the creative thinking and
writing skills of students, and concurrently, employing a more effective
systematic, step-by-step structural approach for other components that
specifically requires such skills.
We believe in
adopting a TOTAL approach in doing well — every section of the EL paper is
given significant attention, although some parts may be given more attention,
such as grammar, oral, comprehension and creative writing. We not only help
students build confidence in applying the skills they’ve taken away from class
but also equip them with ways to check, minimise errors and strive for accuracy
in their work.
Classes are
specially designed to be fun, impactful, clear and structured. Students will
pick up critical skills that are useful in tackling every component of the
English component and doing well for PSLE and secondary school. They will learn
to manage formal assessments with positive learning attitudes and apply exam
techniques to tackle the questions effectively.
Tailored and
specialised strategies will also be designed for each student, to ensure that
while students may start at different levels, they will ALWAYS make significant
progress during their journey with TTT. Analysing key question trends and exam
formats, we prepare our lessons to help students excel academically, using
systematic approaches to understand what is required for each question and to
craft precise responses to answer every exam question well.
With weekly
practices covering all components of the latest Primary School Leaving
Examination (PSLE), your child will not only achieve academic excellence but
also gain valuable analytical skills that are useful across other disciplines
in learning. The rich content will serve as a powerful springboard to help your
child acquire the various skills, strategies and techniques required for
lifelong success.
