IB Exam; Is Last Minute Dash still Useful?
Who needs me specifically in the IB context?
Students who studied and learnt a lot but to no improvement. Their learning proficiency may not be up to par due to a weak language foundation most often due to the student's ethnicity. For example, a Caucasian who did not live in Singapore all his/her life. They may have lost confidence towards doing well in Chinese, but they do not want to give up.
How much time left to IB exam and is it enough?
For IB exam candidates this year, they have slightly more time with 6 weeks to the big battle. An estimated 6-12 lessons with added 12/24 hours of preparation.
What do the IB students learn?
1) Analyse past year IB papers.
2) Practise writing 480-word essays on the hot topics of that period.
3) Learn written paper techniques to namely score in Comprehension and Cloze passages.
4) Learn the common phrases, idioms and proverbs that the IB exams often test or use
A level and O level exam preparation;is Last Minute Dash Useful?
For Chinese only:
Who needs me specifically?
They are those zealous students who have high expectations of themselves and aim to be best in their class/cohort/school.
The amount of time left to this year's examinations, is it enough?
The O level Chinese and A level chinese exam will start in about 3 weeks' time(O:4 Nov, A:27 Oct) . This equates to 3/6 lessons where the student has 6-12 hours of added preparation.
What will I teach?
1) Analyse own schools' prelim papers. After their preliminary exams, I would make them understand where did they go wrong. Develop more on their strengths for each component and reduce their weakness and common errors to prevent unnecessary loss of marks.
2)Teach them techniques to tackle components like comprehension, cloze passages and in the case of A level, summary exercise.
3)I will give them hot compo topics to analyse where the points will be taught to them so that they do not just memorise them blankly, but are able to use them in different contexts.
4) Impart proverbs, idioms and commonly used phrases, teaching the meaning and how it is used in forming sentences.
