2012 was a busy yet meaningful year for our learning centre. We moved into our current premises at Blk 501, Jurong West St 51. On 22 November, when the much anticipated PSLE results were announced, our dear tutees updated us on their results. We were really happy for them when they shared with us their joy. We would like to celebrate their successes here. Here's a glimpse of the fruits of their labour:
English:
We had only one P6 English class in 2012. A few of the kids exceeded our expectations and their own expectations. 8 out of 9 of our P6 tutees in the class attained A*.
Science:
18 out of 19 tutees attained A and A*, with 10 of them attaining A*.
Maths:
All the 8 tutees attained A*.
Our thoughts:
Preparing for the PSLE is an arduous process. The kids need to have the right mindset and attitude. We have always told the parents that we are not miracle workers. We strive to impart the skills and concepts clearly to the kids. We strive to influence and inspire them to give their best. Why is that important? We always share this quote by Zig Ziglar with the kids. "Your attitude, not your aptitude, affects your altitude."
There is no short cut to success. Our tutees realised that they had to put in hard work to achieve their goals. During the year, it was gratifying for us to see the kids grow, gain confidence and bloom after hours spent on teaching of grammar rules and writing skills, "dissecting" the comprehension passages for better understanding, teaching them answering techniques and process skills for Science, imparting Mathematical concepts and skills involved for higher-order thinking questions etc
We are really proud of our graduating batch. Most of them displayed tenacity and perseverance. They were able to balance their school work and the work assigned by us. They were also able to meet our expectations by revising for our quizzes. We hope that they are a source of inspiration for their juniors.
