JC GP Skills Courses

GP Exam Skills Course
 
Dear JC GP Student,
 
Have you ever wondered why you never get your summary answers right? Or that the AQ seems so unpredictable?
 
Are you afraid that your pet topic(s) may take the form of an essay question which you cannot answer? Have you been frustrated by the seemingly unlimited ways in which a topic can be ‘tested’ in Paper 1?
 
This course will help you MINIMISE the loss of marks in the short question section of Paper 2, tackle the summary question with greater CERTAINTY rather than gut feel, and achieve a HIGHER QUALITY in the AQ section within the limited time that you have in an exam.
 
 
It will show you the FUNDAMENTAL question analysis skills that will save you from a topic-dependent approach, help you construct EFFECTIVE introductory paragraphs and use examples PRODUCTIVELY to maximise your content marks.

General Paper Tuition Singapore – GP Examination Paper Structure

Essay Writing Skills (Paper 1)
Although you are given 12 questions to choose from, usually from a myriad of topics, it serves you better if you can identify each question according to the question type.
 
 
This is one area where we really shine. We advocate that you perform a way of Question Identification (more to reveal at the intensive program) and thus select the best choice.
 
 
Will we leave your distinction to chance. Absolutely NOT. That’s why we devise very specific strategies to write on your introduction and conclusion. Some simple devices include the use of anecdotes, quotations, etc
 
 
Furthermore, paragraph development, the key to your high score, is deconstructed into a step-by-step approach, that allows to use it every time, no matter which topic you go for.
 

GP Tutors’ Testimonials

 
Hear what our fully satisfied A-Level GP students say about our GP tuition lessons and General Paper tutors:
 
A Wonderful Teacher Who Can Restore Confidence To Any Child Who Was Hurt.
 
The GP lessons my son had with Mrs Tan really paid off.
 
Before Kian Meng attended Mrs Tan’s GP lessons, I had a Parents-Meet-Tutors session with his General Paper tutor in school.
 
She told me she could not help him pass the subject, as his foundation in O-Levels was not good. In fact, Kian Meng was reminded many times by the tutor of his poor secondary school background that he lost his confidence in GP, and that slowly spread to Economics and Geography.
 
After Mrs Tan saw him, Kian Meng was able to improve greatly in GP. His percentile was a very good 78% in Block Test 2 (BT2).
 
 
Better still, his Econs grades actually improved too.
Just that bit of confidence, and my son could function again. Thank you for your miracle, Mrs Tan!

Thank you Sir! it’s unbelievable that I got a distinction for my GP. I never would even dreamed of a “B”, but your method work so well for me, and my 2 friends, Justin and Venus.

Thank you once again!
