Getting Ready for O-Level English

Preparing for the O-Level English exam can be overwhelming for students and parents due to its complexity. Many students struggle to organize the required information and need effective strategies to enhance their performance. Without support, they may develop a negative mindset and doubt their abilities.

To tackle these challenges, students should adopt a proactive approach. Enrolling in secondary school English tuition provides structured learning focused on the O-Level exam, including mastering question types, familiarising themselves with past papers, and receiving constructive feedback.

With the right support, students can build the confidence and skills needed to succeed in the O-Level English exam.

Key Learning Objectives of our English Tuition for Secondary:

Augustine’s English Classes is an O-level English Tuition Centre in Singapore that focuses on the following objectives:

1. Developing students’ writing skills requires one to be crystal clear in the approaches used to reveal the details and concepts.

2. Developing students’ comprehension techniques on how to interpret different kinds of questions and determine what the question setter expects from them.

3. Developing students’ summary skills to extract key details from a passage and form a summarised view.

Augustine’s Approach to Secondary School English Tuition

At Augustine’s English Classes, we understand the frustrations that come with O-Level English. We make sure the entire examination format – each and every aspect of O-level English papers – will not just be easy to approach but in fact, will be enriching for our students. We want students to discover for themselves how the English language is both rich and engaging and therefore our in-house curriculum will make the process of learning it more fulfilling!

Beyond passing the O-Level English, getting hold of the rudiments not only prepares you for the future real-life responsibilities but also the life skills as well. For example, the Situational Writing skill develops your skill for writing business emails to prospective employers and news articles to budding journalists. Foundation in Expository Writing is an asset that you acquire during your high school years that helps you subsequently to write neat and well-argued university papers. Editing techniques will not only train you into a detacher of errors but also, they are essential skills for spotting your own mistakes in the future. To complement with this, the Oral part develops your competence and fluency for future interviews.

Unveiling the different niche themes of O-Level English may inspire a burning desire for the subject or other interests. Narratives provided in the comprehension exercises can fuel your desire to find out the source and in turn read more. In the similar manner, aside from the narrative passages about the happiness or the education system of Singapore, you can also learn many new things that you did not know you were interested in before. We deliberately pick the passages that induce such outbursts of enthusiasm and cause some critical thinking, thus making the reading more wonderful.

At the end of all that, our O-level English tuition programme generates critical thinking. The text passage on inference in reading involves interpreting what is explicitly stated and going beyond the surfaces in determining the details that are not expressed in the passage. The exposition topics asked to put some deep thought into various subjects and make very well-written arguments. Acquiring critical thinking, as a matter of fact, it is the notion of the essence in today’s data-rich society that sometimes can be littered with the overload of data.

Why hesitate any longer? Give our engaging and educational lessons at Augustine’s English Classes a chance today!
