Our Teaching Philosophy
We firmly adhere to the principle that students’ faith in themselves gives them more motivation to keep going till they find their success. On the one hand, low or no belief might prevent them from achieving even if they are just as able. The greatest success for our programme will be if our students depend on their own abilities for academic success at school and in life in general. Through the provision of knowledge and new skills, we’ve seen them grow in their positives behavior and performance. Furthermore, as well as attaining lots of knowledge in the process, we as teachers learn how to teach better, and as a result, our students do very well in their exams as well. Nevertheless, we aim for more: we set ablaze the desire to learn and the interest to education which will never be extinguished. Along with simple tutoring, our principal objective is to contribute or assist students to do as best they can in life.
What Happy Parents Say About Our English Tuition
How Our Students Are Taught
“Learning is not a spectator sport. Students do not learn much just by sitting in class listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.”
-Arthur W. Chickering and Zelda F. Gamson
