Looking for experienced GP tuition teachers?

GP, or General Paper, is offered at H1 level at A Levels. This is a compulsory subject and its score is used for University admission. It's not unusual for students with decent O Level English grades to score U to D grades in GP. Often they have no clue how to improve and are already saddled by the more demanding JC curriculum.

How do GP tutors help students improve?

GP can be challenging, especially since it requires a mix of content knowledge, critical thinking, and language skills. Common challenges students face include:

• Lack of Content Knowledge
• Weak Argumentation Skills
• Poor Time Management
• Summary and AQ Trouble

As such, lessons commonly cover the following areas:

• Essay Skills: How to plan and structure arguments logically. Developing strong thesis statements, well-supported paragraphs, and including relevant examples.
• Content Building: Building a content bank by themes (e.g., technology, environment, society) with examples tailored for common GP topics, including Singapore-specific examples.
• Comprehension Practice: How to tackle summary writing, short-answer techniques, and AQ, with step-by-step breakdowns. AQ is especially tricky for many students, so there's usually practice on applying ideas and showing opinions with relevant examples.
• Language Improvement: Improving clarity and precision in writing - grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary - so that the ideas come across more effectively.

These are by no means exhaustive. After all, 1-to-1 tuition is essentially about customized teaching, so depending on the exact problems faced by the student, the tutor tweaks the approach and lesson plan to suit.
