JC GENERAL PAPER TUITION

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

What is the General Paper Syllabus Like?

JC GENERAL PAPER EXAM FORMAT

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.

Our GP tutors in Singapore have the aptitude to equip students with the relevant language, research, thinking, and writing skills to handle both papers. Students can expect a trove of highly relevant examples that will be concurrently taught with the best tried and tested application skills to help them excel in their papers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does Zenith offer free trial classes?

Yes, we do offer a free trial class for new students. However, free trial classes won’t 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.

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 don’t provide 1-1 JC GP 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.

Students will be able to receive a refund of fees if they are unable to attend every lesson of the week (including make-up sessions) ONLY if they have a valid excuse (medical).
