Students are encouraged to ask good questions in class. This gives the tutor an opportunity to assess the student’s level of understanding to identify any conceptual misunderstanding while encouraging peer-to-peer discussion to allow collaborative learning.

We strive to train all our students to be good listeners. This develops focus skills, being the pre-requisite for the acquisition of new knowledge and concepts. The mastery of focus skills will be critical for their application of such intellectual information to various situations.

Students will attempt selected questions that enables them to clarify and apply their new knowledge learned. Tutors will also take this chance to pin-point and correct any answering mistakes to strengthen a student’s answer. Tutors will introduce a topic and encourage students to think deeply about how the topic is relevant to what has been introduced. This allows students to form their own neural links in the topic to enhance their long-term learning of the topic.

For every topic, tutors will guide students through a summary to consolidate their learning. This summary will allow students to paraphrase what they have learnt in a low-risk classroom setting to encourage the sharing of ideas to the learning group, facilitating an engaging discussion of topics at hand. This will further develop their deep learning of topics discussed.
