Why Online Classes
Whether or not a class is conducted online or offline, what ultimately matters for students is the quality of the learning experience.
Here, we use online tools in an innovative and effective manner to offer students a superior experience to the physical classroom.
As a result, almost 100% of our students have expressed a preference for online classes. That is why we are perhaps the first and only tuition centre in Singapore that has converted to 100% online classes for General Paper.
In fact, our first 100% online batch of students outperformed previous batches, with 97% of them scoring ‘A’s and ‘B’s.
If you are still hesitant about the online classes, contact us for a one-month paid trial. We guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Our students have expressed an overwhelming preference for online classes for a few reasons:
- More alert in class because they are less exhausted from travelling
- Greater convenience and easier to fit into their busy schedules
- Instant marking and feedback can be provided online during classes
- Able to ask questions directly via text messaging in class
- Unique learning experience with Mr Liau
As such, we have remained 100% online since March 2020. We intend to continue with online classes for now.
In fact, our online classes have proven to be equally, if not more, effective. Students who attended online classes did well with 92% ‘A’ grades and 8% ‘B’ grades for the A-Level examination.
The materials will be uploaded to our Learning Management System. Students can access the notes and materials at any time, download them and even print them out. However, as there are a lot of notes and materials, we will not be printing them out for students.
During the class, all work is submitted and marked online using Google Docs. Students have generally found this to be a superior approach for their learning compared to using pen and paper, then taking photos of their work and uploading the photos.
Extensive notes are provided both in class and after class.
We have been conducting online classes since the end of 2019 and have pioneered innovative methods for keeping students engaged. As our classes are conducted live, students are kept on task by the teacher, Mr Liau.
All our students who took the A-Level exams in 2020 were taught online for almost the entire year. They outperformed previous cohorts. Now, our students score very well, with 92% ‘A’ grades and 8% ‘B’ grades.
We have thus remained 100% online because our students have indicated a preference for our online lessons and because they have continued to achieve stellar results.
Yes, all GP classes are conducted online. We are the first 100% online GP tuition centre. No physical classes at all.
For GP, online classes are actually better. Sometimes, students’ preferences can be quite sticky so the most we can do is try to explain how online classes have helped our students score better and learn more than in previous years when we had offline classes.
In summary, after switching to online classes, we experienced the following:
— Exam scores improved.
— Class participation increased.
— Assignment submissions increased.
— Questions asked after class increased.
— Reading of notes and articles increased.
— Class attendance became more regular (fewer excuses to skip classes when they are online).
We only conduct online lessons because they are more effective.
Students frequently tell us that our lessons are radically different from the typical online lessons that they received during HBL in school / other tuition centres.
In particular, they find that our lessons have helped them remain more engaged, have given them more opportunities to complete practices and receive feedback, and have eventually helped them score well in exams.
We are thus the only tuition centre that only offers online lessons for GP. 100% online. No physical classes. First and only in Singapore to do this.
We help our students achieve good results by effectively using technology to provide simultaneous student engagement and collaboration opportunities. We are also better able to provide feedback, recordings, notes and resources online. Students who have doubts can easily raise questions and receive answers.
In fact, our students have performed even better through online lessons than before. Our online lessons have enabled our students to achieve 92% ‘A’ grades and 8% ‘B’ grades, an increase over physical lessons.
Ultimately, our lessons are only available online. So the only way to benefit from our expertise and guidance is through these online lessons.
