Language Mastery

Students will undergo weekly practices that closely follow the rigour and standard of the national examinations, whether it is the revised O-Level Exam for English (starting 2023) or the revised A-Level Exam for General Paper (starting 2024) for IP students. These practices include comprehension, summary and critical thinking passages that cover a wide range of topics relating to current affairs, such as Society, Technology, Environment, Arts and Media, to help students develop a global perspective and build a knowledge repository for essay writing.

Students will also learn to enhance their writing expressions to fit the task requirements, in terms of Purpose, Audience, Context and Tone. They will go through grammar drills, editing and sentence reconstruction exercises to improve their grammar knowledge and usage.

Skills and Techniques

Students will refine their critical reading and writing skills through the weekly lessons.

Reasoning: They will apply critical reasoning skills to evaluate information and recommendations presented in written and visual texts.

Comprehension: They will improve their comprehension skills through error analysis and answer precision, and learn to construct clear, logical responses.

Writing: They will polish their writing by using signposting and hedging techniques.

Summary Writing: They will learn to paraphrase effectively and organise responses to match question requirements.

Revision and Reinforcement

Students will recap and review question analysis and answering techniques upon analysing the assessment requirements. They will use the appropriate tone and structure to present ideas and opinions clearly and confidently, whether in writing or during oral examinations. They will also reflect on errors and work on weaknesses. Furthermore, the regular practice tests in simulated exam conditions will help students hone their time management skills.

Hear What They Say About TLL

Because the difference we make is why we do what we do.

Bradley Hang

TLL student (scored A1 for O-Level English)

"I started my journey with Learning Lab in 2022, when I was in Secondary 3. Before I joined, I was constantly getting “C”s for my English exams. Over time, through the guidance from my dedicated teacher, Ms Tay, I was able to see my English grades slowly improving from an initial C6 at the start of the year, to a B4 for my end of year assessment in Secondary 3. Eventually, after months of hard work and guidance from Ms Tay, I was able to obtain my first ever distinction, an A2, for my preliminary examination.

On the day of my English O-levels, I calmed my nerves and remembered everything Ms Tay had taught me, from proper answering techniques to identifying question types in my Paper 2 to answer questions precisely. In the end, I was finally able to achieve my desired result: an A1 for the 2023 O-levels. I was overjoyed with my results for sure, but I knew that I couldn’t have done it without my hard work and determination, and most importantly, the proper guidance from Ms Tay."

Gloria Chua

TLL student

"Recalling the lessons I've had in Paris 1 or New York 5, the most valuable one I gained was the sense that the world is my oyster. It is not just the names of the classrooms or the impeccable decor that encourage this sense.

I took English from P4 to S4, and the fondest moments have been those where my teachers and I discussed the many happenings outside of the classroom. Be it my teacher's fondness for architectural marvels across the world as a window shedding light on the ebbs and flows of the global economy, or her entertaining stories of her childhood encouraging reflection on our own educations, I have learnt much more than just English itself.

I am privileged to feel like I can now feel the pulse of this vast world, becoming an active participant in it, and in large part I have because TLL encouraged me to find this world beyond the classroom."

Mdm. Mazlita

Parent of Primary 3 / Primary 6 / Secondary 4 students

"The Learning Lab is a perfect embodiment of how great companies are built on great products. Throughout the 8 years that my three children have been taking lessons at The Learning Lab, the teachers and staff have consistently delivered an excellent educational experience for them.

My eldest son, Arif, always looked forward to attending his classes! As a GEP student, he thoroughly relished how lessons are enriched with current affairs, famous personalities and interesting case studies. In his own words, “The lessons come alive”. It also helped that his teachers displayed tremendous dedication and extramural excellence, which fuelled his passion for learning. His time at The Learning Lab definitely stretched him well beyond his years, which was well reflected when he emerged as the 2nd highest PSLE scorer nationwide in 2011.

I will continue to entrust their education to TLL, as it has continually equipped my children with the tools and motivation to go further in life and succeed in their future undertakings."
