Preparing and Studying for A-Level GP

If you have been feeling stumped and resigned by junior college GP, despair no longer! It is never too early or too late to begin preparing for A Level GP, and what’s important is to not resign yourself to an unchangeable fate but take the steps to begin improving your GP sometime, somewhere! It goes without saying that A Level GP is one of the trickiest subjects to prepare for. Students are often overwhelmed by the various components tested, and are often stumped as to how to improve at each of them. For many students, especially those who struggle with the language, they resign themselves to not preparing for A Level GP at all, believing that their low standard of English is fixed and immutable and will thus always translate to Cs or Ds.

At Wordstruck, we deeply empathise with our students about the complex difficulties of O Level English, and work hard to make each O Level English component both accessible and enriching for students. Through our carefully curated syllabus, we hope that we can help you discover the beauty and relevance of English, so that studying for it becomes much less of a chore! 

Besides the pragmatic reason of giving yourself an edge to enrol in a tertiary education of your choosing, here’s some reasons we believe you should prioritise preparing well for your O Level English journey:

Mastering O Level English components will prepare you for future, real-world responsibilities. Situational Writing trains you to write emails to your future employers, and articles for those of you budding journalists out there. The basics of Expository Writing can aid you in writing clear research papers for university. Carrying out all those Editing practices will make you a whiz at spotting your own mistakes in future. And Oral will train you to speak confidently and fluently during your future interviews!
Exploring O Level English components can help you to ignite a possible passion for English and/or other interests! When you encounter fascinating, moving comprehension Narrative passages, perhaps that can inspire you to look for the book which the passage came from, and spark a love for reading. Or, when you tackle a mind-blowing Non-Narrative passage about unique topics like the history of personality tests or the art of Japanese sushi making, you can discover a new interest you never knew you had! Our passages at Wordstruck are similarly carefully chosen to inspire such bursts of interest and critical thinking, so you can look forward to reading them!
Lastly, O Level English also encourages your critical thinking. Inference questions in comprehension require you to read between the lines and think beyond what is simply explicitly told to you. Expository writing topics encourage you to think in-depth about various topics as you construct a nuanced argument. Learning how to think critically for yourself is definitely an essential skill in today’s discourse-driven world which can sometimes drown you with too much information!
So what are you waiting for? Why not give our enjoyable and enlightening lessons at Wordstruck a try today?

A-Level GP: Let’s All Be Exam-Smart

How do we tackle the A-Level General Paper: Strategies & Analysis
The transition from secondary school English to junior college GP is one to be handled with thought and careful planning.

A-Level GP: Fewer Components, But Deeper Learning And Broader Perspectives

However, our A Level GP tuition teachers are aware of the academic requirements and are prepared to deepen learning in these areas. Through discussions on critical issues with our thematic approach, students will broaden their perspectives and open their eyes to the authentic impact English has in their lives.

English is not learnt for assessment. It is a tool for ideation and a way of life.

Augustine is an excellent English teacher who is passionate about his subject. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help his students succeed. My children have learned so much from him, and I am confident that they will continue to do well in English because of his instructions. One of the ways that Mr. Augustine has helped my children improve their writing skills is by providing them with regular feedback and guidance. He always takes the time to read their work carefully and offer specific suggestions for how they can improve their grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary. He also provides them with helpful tips on how to organize their thoughts and ideas more effectively. As a result my children have become much more confident writers. They are now able to write clear, concise, and well-organized essays that make a strong argument. He also keep them engaged through prizes and games on class participation/performance activities.

My sons learnt memorisation techniques to help them overcome the common mistakes in MCQ, and an enriched vocabulary which helped them in essay writing. Besides teaching the subject, Augustine cares keenly about his students' wellbeing and will provide feedback to clarify out-of-norm behaviour that he observed in class. My boys enjoy going to his class (almost six years now) as he has a unique way to keep them engaged and motivated. I also appreciate that Augustine has been very accommodating when we have conflicts in schedules; he will work closely with us to make up for the missed lessons.

My daughter started attending Augustine's English Classes in January of this year. I'm glad that her English has improved significantly, especially her composition. Her confidence in learning English has also increased. Teacher Augustine has a unique way of teaching and encouraging students. My daughter is very motivated and enjoys his classes. The classroom environment is comfortable, and there is a little entertainment before class for students to decompress. I am extremely pleased with my decision to choose this tuition centre for my daughter's education.

Having joined Augustine’s class, I can see that my boy is engaged and enjoys attending his classes. Mr Augustine understands the nature of the child and provides the most appropriate techniques for the learner’s journey. We are also grateful to Mr Augustine who went the extra mile to provide the class with some ‘grammar MCQ hacks’ and some ‘tricky rules for synthesis and transformation’. Overall, it’s a very conductive place to study. Thank you for all the good work and professionalism.

My son, Josiah feedback that the English class is interesting whereby there is a point system to allow him to work hard towards gaining points for playing the Nintendo game. He also mentions that he is able to pay more attention during the lesson. As a parent, I find this helpful as it is challenging to motivate and stay focused on any subjects that require a lot of attention. As I can see his self-directed motivation when going to English class. I hope and believe he can gain more knowledge from the English lessons through this play-learn-rewards points system approach and be able to achieve good grades to help him to get into his desired school. Thank you for your guidance.
