A Center With A Different Approach

The Learning Board's O Level English Tuition Programme motivates Secondary 4 students through a change in their mindset and guides them to the A-star level with effective strategies. Every 9 of our 10 students scored A in their exams. But we believe the improvements they have made, not their grades, are those that last. Our 7 years of teaching experience and familiarity with the Singapore education system condense into the following formula:

Programme Benefits

Comprehensive O-Level Coverage

The Learning Board’s O Level English Tuition Programme for Secondary 4 introduces students to complex passages and gears them to write clearly, critically and specifically. Your child will be taught a higher order of thinking and specific writing practices drilling on precision and persuasive writing. Contents covered in this series programme:

1. Case study on prominent figures
2. Global and current (local) issues
3. Societal inclination and norms
4. Modern science and technology

Skill-centric Activities 

Weekly lessons will drill and focus on mastering the fundamental examination components of composition, comprehension and summary writing. The classes help students to:

1. Refine O Level writing skills with specific skills such as hedging and signposting
2. Precisely answer comprehension skills through error identification (linguistics)
3. Sharpen and drill on summary writing skills on paraphrasing rather than restating or rewording
4. Critically read and evaluate information provided to reason and recommend appropriately for comprehension (narrative) and visual texts components

Advanced Topics

Through this journey, students would be exposed to a series of comprehension passages that would ignite their inquisitiveness. Topics in focus includes global issues, social practices, science and technology and a study of the autobiography of prominent figures.

​The application question is a new component that will be introduced to students of O Level. A deeper understanding and practice  of grammar will ensure that students are aware of the importance of fine wording their sentences to tailor to specific situations.
