Most students do not strategize when studying for exams; they tend to lack practical skills and do not understand the gist of their literary texts, and instead worry about trying to memorize their notes.

The aim of our crash courses is to do away with memorizing and instead build good understanding by clarifying what kind of questions to expect in the exams, what literary concepts to focus on and how to strategize your preparations, how to tackle key examination questions and how to improve your answering techniques.

Many students only realize what they lack when they begin their own revision. We believe that a crash course before the exams will complement their revision and help clarify questions on various key topics and concepts. This is usually done through an analysis of key elements of the literary text and various past questions in a topical manner.

While most students have access to notes, past questions and solutions, we find that a big problem is not in understanding the answers but learning how to arrive at such answers and applying them in other questions. We believe students can improve if we address gaps in application skills; by breaking down and explaining various answers to show “How exactly do we arrive at this answer and apply it elsewhere?” Our crash courses aim to do this.

Our classes are conducted by our masters tutors who are well versed in the intricacies of the said exam boards. The courses are usually conducted individually (1-1) but can be done for a small group of less then 5.

We use a streamlined yet comprehensive approach to reviewing the exam requirements through topical revision.  We deconstruct key question types, analyse effective strategies to answer these questions, and help students develop a structured answering framework.  We also incorporate proprietary frameworks that help students move beyond rote memorization.  Our proprietary frameworks and meticulous deep knowledge of the exam requirements is what sets us apart. 

Our crash courses are designed to go beyond mere content review. We focus on exam skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and answering strategies. Our comprehensive approach, which includes reviewing curriculum content, solving past papers, attempting mock exams, and analysing model answers, ensures that students are thoroughly prepared to excel in their exams.
