Ms Irene Liu observed that her students usually improved at least 2 grades within 3 months. This achievement is due to the holistic approach adopted by Ms Irene Liu through the following steps.
– Small group tuition of max 6 students
Small group teaching ensures that every student receives personal attention from the tutor. For students who need in depth explanations to the questions, Ms Irene Liu will allocate time to coach individually to clarify their doubts.
– Self compiled standard answer booklet
Ms Irene Liu developed standard answers for classic questions. Students will gradually acquire the ability to incorporate the standard answers into their own answers especially when answering application-based questions.
– Key words and key points training
Key words and key points are crucial to score well in biology exams. Good answers should contain highly specific and accurate key words. Students will be trained to quickly choose the right key words once they see the question.
– High frequency question package
Some popular questions are frequently asked in the exams. They could be combined or modified to form a new question. Students will repeatedly practice and be exposed to a large number of similar questions.
– Practical exam training
Paper 3 practical paper makes up 20% of the O level biology exam. Students will be trained on biological drawings, graph plotting and experiment planning.
– Mock exams with markings and feedback
Ms Irene Liu plans mock tests and exams periodically to check the progress of each student. Valuable feedback will be given to each student based on his/her own errors. The paper will be marked extremely strictly so that students will develop answers of higher standard.
