Having Difficulties With English? Your Child Is Not Alone...

There's a reason why your child is having difficulties with English. While good grades for Math and Science can be achieved with more exam question practices, this does not work so well with English especially with the introduction of the new syllabus.

The key secret lies in the way in which your child is being taught; Most English tutors do not realise that there is a ‘method’ to teaching English. English is a process-based subject and as such, demands a systematic, scientific based approach to teaching!
