PSLE Science Academic Coaching

CA1 is round the corner again! In a short term, the P6 students are tested not just for what they learnt in Jan & Feb, but also what they learnt in P3-5!

So how can they break the previous scoring pattern ? Here's 3 steps to prepare your child for CA1 (P.S.

My first workshop was over just 3 days ago last week, on 9 February 2018. Although it wasn't my first time conducting workshops for parents and students, I felt slight butterflies in my stomach because it's my first PURE ACADEMIC Workshop workshop with parents and I have to treat the parents like students and demand a 101% from them too!
