OVERVIEW

WHY TAKE GENERAL PAPER (GP) TUITION IN SINGAPORE?

Many students who once excelled in Secondary School English now find themselves struggling with JC General Paper (GP) and rarely get good grades. This is because the JC GP subject is vastly different from Secondary School English.

What is the JC General Paper (GP) and is it the same as English classes?

JC General Paper (GP) is a compulsory H1 subject that aims to develop critical thinking skills, construct arguments, and communicate ideas with clear, accurate, and effective language.

The JC GP subject is vastly different from Secondary School English. It challenges students to think critically to better understand the world around them while broadening their global outlook.

The H2 syllabus for General Paper centres around core topics like environment, Singapore studies, media, sports, and more.

‍Here at Zenith Education Studio, our students’ academic success is our utmost priority. We are committed to helping them succeed during their time in JC and perform their best for their GCE A-Levels. At our tuition centre, we focus on providing our students with value-adding techniques that will help them achieve academic excellence.

What is the General Paper Syllabus Like?

The General Paper syllabus includes an assessment split across 2 papers:

Paper 1 Essay (1h 30min): Paper 1 comprises 8 questions on issues drawn from across disciplines and of local interest and global concern. Students are to answer only one question.

Paper 2 Comprehension (1h 30min): Paper 2 comprises one or two text passages. There will be a range of questions on the text(s), requiring students to demonstrate their ability to comprehend, explain, infer, evaluate and summarise. The application question requires students to respond to a task derived from the text(s), based on their understanding and interpretation of the text(s) as a whole.

Our GP tuition classes in Singapore cover both content- and skill-based aspects needed to help students excel in both papers. We emphasise skill-based learning, with lessons focusing on a single paper (essay writing, macro and micro comprehension reading skills, Short Answer Questions (SAQ) and Application Questions (AQ).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Zenith offer free trial classes?

Yes, we do offer free trial classes for new students. However, free trial classes will not be available for specific lessons during certain weeks as some lessons are catered towards the application of content already taught to current students. We will contact students to arrange for the trial lesson.

Why are lessons at Zenith much more affordable compared to other tuition centres that offer General Paper (GP) programmes?

At Zenith, we believe that education should remain affordable and accessible to any student who is driven and motivated to succeed. We aim to provide the maximum value at the lowest cost.

Does Zenith offer 1-1 Tuition?

Educators at Zenith wholeheartedly believe in the effectiveness of our group teaching in getting you that coveted A for your examinations. We do not provide 1-1 tuition but often provide 1-1 consults to students FREE OF CHARGE especially nearing examination periods, subject to the tutor’s availability. Students can also arrange to see teachers before and after lessons for free consults.

Are there make-up classes for students who missed lessons?

Students unable to attend lessons for ANY reason will be allowed to attend a make-up session during the same week. However, we do not encourage class-hopping as this will affect the progress of the student. As there are only four extra seats for students doing make-up lessons in each class, students must notify teachers at least 6 hours before their supposed lesson.

If students are still unable to make it for any lessons of the week, we will normally conduct all lessons during the holidays, which students can attend to make up for the missed lesson. Alternatively, as a last resort, students can book our teachers for a consultation to cover the missed lesson.
