What Swimming And  Learning English Have In Common?

What Swimming And Learning English Have In Common?

Parents, stop and think about this – 

What does learning swimming and learning the English Language have in common?

They’re more similar than you’d think.

Would you expect your child to jump into a pool for the first time and start swimming like Joseph Schooling? 🏊‍♂

With every single stroke controlled, calculated and graceful like a trained professional?

You know it’s not possible….

Simply because a swimmer has to first master the various techniques and components such as:

✔ Breathing

✔ Posture

✔ Hand & leg coordination

✔ Various swimming styles

Only when they have learnt and practised the right techniques and methods, can they make it look easy and complete their laps effortlessly.

 

And just like how swimming has specific techniques, it is crucial for your child to first learn and master these 6 core  skills of English if they want to “make it look easy!”

Reading

Listening

Writing

Speaking

Grammar

Vocabulary

Here at EduEdge, we may not train swimmers, but we’ve supported a pool of over 1,800+ Primary, Secondary and Junior College students to achieve English & GP Mastery and attain their Bs & As with our unique “Formula-Style” teaching method!

And that’s because we can confidently say that we know the English & GP syllabus in and out.

Our teaching method helps students master the above 6 core skills and 32 sub-skills they need to excel in English.

With over 15 formulas that students can learn and apply, tackling the English exams becomes structured, just like breaking down a simple swimming technique.

Students who were previously stuck and confused because of the lack of structure can now dive into an easy, proven system to learn English!

And the RESULTS speak for themselves! 

Here’s the story of Norman (2019 Graduate) and Angela (2015 Graduate), both EduEdge graduates who both went from C6 to A2 for English after their time here with us! 

2 Generations Of EduEdge students. 2 Incredible Transformations –  Siblings Angela and Norman Ray Oh! 🙋‍♀🙋‍♂ 

Angela, EduEdge Graduate (2015) 🙋‍♀

Before Angela came to us, she tried to devise her own methods for learning English like how she did for Math & Science – but faced difficulty as her answers weren’t consistent…

That’s when she discovered EduEdge and our structured learning methods that provided her with a proven and consistent way to get the results she was striving for.

And despite scoring a ‘C’ in her prelims, with her determination and her mum’s unwavering support and belief in our programme and teaching methods – she eventually improved 4 GRADES from a C6 to an A2 for O-Levels!

⏩ Fast

forward

3 years ⏩

Norman Ray Oh, EduEdge Graduate (2019) 🙋‍♂

Years later, Norman, Angela’s younger brother joins EduEdge on his sister’s recommendation and with the full support of his parents.

And just like Angela, he was having difficulty with English, scoring C‘s and was lost in almost every English component. 

But determination and dedication to learning and applying our ‘Formula-Style’ learning methods definitely ran in the family! 💪

By applying the EduEdge method of learning English, Norman went on to improve 4 grades and score an A2 just like his sister! 😌

Here are some words from Norman himself! :

“My English subject in Secondary school was a struggle before I joined EduEdge. 

My paper 2 comprehension had been a nightmare for me since Secondary one. I was extremely fearful of failing O-level English as I was lost in almost every area. 

However, attending EduEdge was a life changer for me!

As I desperately needed support for English, I was introduced to EduEdge by my elder sister. She managed to score an A2 for O-Level English after her time there.

Having full confidence in EduEdge, my parents signed me up for Mr Cheng’s class in Secondary 3. 

During my regular class with Mr Cheng, I was equipped with formulas, useful sentence structures, simple yet effective vocabulary and grammar skills. 

Mr Cheng and his teachers are always open for clarification when I require it, be it RISE, the lesson or schoolwork. 

With constant encouragement and optimism, Mr Cheng, Ms Yue and their teachers will never fail to energise and motivate my class. 

Apart from the regular class, I signed up for the WriteRight class which focused solely on situational and continuous writing. 

Under Ms Eunice’s teaching, I learnt very simple yet useful ways to level up my essays.

Fortunately, the 2019 O-Level mixed-genre question that came out was similar to the one I tackled in WriteRight. 

As a result of attending EduEdge, I am now able to structure my points appropriately, generate ideas and deliver my thoughts clearly whether on paper or spoken. 

With Mr Cheng and his teachers’ encouragement, dedication and care, I was able to conquer the O-Level English papers with the utmost confidence in myself, the teachers and the techniques. 

Previously, my grades for English fluctuated between Cs and Bs. Now, I scored an A2 for the 2019 O-Level English after attending EduEdge lessons. 

With an A2 in English, I have managed to score an L1R5 of 10 points and fulfil my hope of entering a junior college. Recently when I attended a JC open house, a history teacher said that having a strong English foundation would be a slight advantage for the humanities subjects. Thus, I believe that my English grade will benefit me in the long run in the future. With Mr Cheng as my inspiration, I will consider pursuing English in university. 

All in all, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to Mr Cheng, Ms Yue, Ms Eunice, all the assistant teachers and last but not least, Mr Edmund who always tends to our needs with a smile.”

Thank you Norman and Angela! Both of you serve as inspirations for all current and future EduEdge students! ☺

You are both shining examples that with the right learning methods, dedication from our Language Specialists and your hard work – your BEST ever English grades are 100% achievable! 👍

And we’d like to congratulate you on joining the 1,800+ students over the past 6 years who have consistently achieved exceptional English grades! 🏆⠀

The Cold Hard Truth About Most Other English Education Providers

The Cold Hard Truth About Most Other English Education Providers

Dear concerned parents, we understand your pain if you’re still not seeing improvement in your child’s English Language grades despite sending them to countless tuition centres.

Here’s the scary reality…

Most parents who send their children for English tuition pay hundreds of dollars every single month, only to see little or no improvements in their children’s results.

While there are many tuition centres to choose from, the main concern for every parent is to find the right tuition centre which will help your child improve.

Did you know?

80% of Singaporeans believe that tuition is beneficial to their child’s education but only… 

1 out of 5 parents think they have found the right tuition centre

Source: A monthly update on Singaporean Attitudes – Private Tuition in Singapore: A White Paper Release (July, 2012), published by Blackbox Research Pte Ltd)

We know how painful it is to see all that hard-earned money just disappear like that especially when:

☹ You’re willing to fully support your child to master English.

☹ You’re sick and tired of changing tutor after tutor or hearing your child complain to you that they dread going for tuition.

☹ You face countless nights worrying about your child failing their English exams and being retained for another year.

The well-kept secrets of the tuition industry

It’s not your fault if you did not know that…

Secret  #1 – Unstructured Curriculum & No Teaching Methodology

Most tuition centres or tutors do NOT have a structured curriculum or teaching methodology when teaching English to your child.

More often than not, it’s hastily put together “curriculum materials” photocopied from assessment books or other school exam papers. Such practices are often adopted as a matter of convenience. With the introduction of the new English Syllabus, many more tuition centres are thrown off-balance and are scrambling to put something “decent” together.

Additionally, these centres haven’t a clue as to how they should teach English –

it’s probably just worksheet supervision or a drill-and-practice approach to teaching.

It’s no wonder that your child complains that the lessons are dead boring!

How can your child even improve when the quality of the curriculum resources is sub-standard?

How can your child understand what is being ‘taught’ when there is no teaching methodology to support your child’s learning?

Secret  #2 – Unqualified Teachers

Most tuition centres which offer English tuition do NOT specialise in teaching English.

The tutors at most tuition centres are NOT English Language Specialists.

Chances are, many of their tutors are neither professionally trained nor English-Certified and have not gone through any form of proper training to teach your child English. Many of these tutors are also just part-timers looking to earn some extra pocket money.

This means that the quality of teaching is highly questionable. 

The last thing you would want is just a baby-sitter overseeing your child just doing ‘worksheets’. 

Shocking? Yes, it is.

You definitely won’t want to take any risk with these unqualified tutors, knowing fully well that English is an L1 compulsory subject which can affect your child’s admission options for Secondary schools, Junior College or Polytechnic.

The EduEdge Difference:

#1 Fully Structured Curriculum And Teaching Methodology 

EduEdge’s Formula-style Approach: A Faster And Easier Way To Learn English.

At EduEdge, we’ve developed the “Total English Mastery System (TEMS)” – A collection of “formulas” that breaks the English Language down into easy-to-apply and easy-to-remember formulas, just like learning Math and Science!

With EduEdge’s “Total English Mastery System™” (TEMS), any student will be able to learn English faster and more effectively, and score higher in their exams. TEMS has helped more than 1800 students from over 120 schools improve at least 1-2 grades in their exams to score Bs & As, even when they used to struggle in English badly.

If you realise, the English Syllabus comprises 6 core skills (inner ring): Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. 

These core skills may be further divided into 32 sub-skills (the multi-coloured spokes).

By analysing top students’ thinking patterns and how they approach the different paper components of the English exam, we have eventually mapped out a specific formula for each of the 32 sub-skills. 

All students, including your child, can use and apply these formulas even if they are currently struggling with English right now.

Using this structure, learning English becomes much more systematic & structured, and scoring well in exams is much easier and more predictable. 

This is why many students and parents are raving that EduEdge is the Right English programme for them and how we’ve achieved.
