What Your Teen Will Master (Aligned to MOE EL Syllabus 2020)
- Close Reading & Analysis — purpose/audience, argument quality, evidence, tone and register; text-type moves and question intent. (Ministry of Education)
- Writing (Situational & Expository/Narrative) — thesis clarity, paragraph logic, cohesion devices, sentence variety, editing for precision (agreement, reference, concision). (Ministry of Education)
- Summary & Language Use — compression strategies, paraphrase control, lexis choice, syntax fluency. (Ministry of Education)
- Oral & Listening — structured personal responses, elaboration depth, delivery (voice, pacing, emphasis), multi-speaker listening cues. (Ministry of Education)
We teach within the Full SBB context (Posting Groups 1/2/3; subjects offered at different levels), so learners practice at the rigor that matches their subject level and targets. (Ministry of Education)
How We Teach (First Principles + Fencing Method)
First Principles. We begin with the why behind language rules (agreement, reference chains, cohesion, rhetorical purpose), so techniques transfer across papers.
Fencing Method. Students start with a simple sentence and “fence in” power—adding phrases → clauses → rhetorical devices—until they can control tone and precision.
3-Pax Advantage. Line-by-line script annotations, targeted micro-drills, and more oral time per learner—impossible in large classes.
