I place a strong emphasis on understanding before application in all subjects (VS blind application). I am against students starting on assessment books before actually internalizing key concepts and processes.

I employ a process-driven teaching style so that students will see key concepts as a string of processes, thereby reducing content to memorize.

For English, my strategy is to broaden my students' general knowledge, examining arguments within these current affairs topics and thereafter applying these skills in their essay writing. I also hone inference skills for comprehension though critical analysis of text.

Additionally, I also specialize in A level PW (PROJECT WORK) training and consultation. (Group and individual)
