THE WOOG EDUCATION DIFFERENCE

MODULAR CONDENSED LEARNING

  • Our modular approach starts with a brief contextual overview of the work and author, before delving into the key elements employed in the work.
  • Next, the student will be led through close readings and guided analysis to help them better develop their understanding of the works. The student will be shown how key literary elements work in tandem to further the meaning of the work. 
  • After that, the student will engage in guided literary analysis of works by identifying and interpreting various literary elements and evaluating the author's purpose and message. 
  • By the end of the course, students will have the skills and knowledge necessary to confidently discuss and provide written literary analysis, while meeting curriculum criterions.

The Woog Online Experience

The Worlds First 1-1 Gamified Platform

At Woog, learning feels like a quest rather than a chore. The world's first interactive, story-driven live teaching 1-1 platform redefines engagement. Here students use their skills and grit to climb the Woog League, collecting experience points, badges and uncovering secret stashes along the way. 

THE WOOG DIFFERENCE

  • 1. Pedagogy

    • Our master tutors customise their teaching to ensure that the student receives the tailored attention they need to achieve their best possible performances.
    • Each lesson will be engaging, challenging, and enjoyable, using higher order thinking skills, questioning, and tasks to foster deep understanding and retention of the topics covered.
  • 2. Individualised curriculum

    • Our curriculum is customised to the student. During the first session, the master tutor will assess the students strengths and weaknesses in relation to the text.
    • This assessment will then be used to plan personalised lessons that build on the student's existing knowledge and understanding.
  • 3. Supported learning

    • Throughout the course, the student will be guided by their very own success coach who will acts as a cheerleader, point of liaison and an accountability partner.
    • The master tutor will provide monthly formative feedback to support the student's learning.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS SAY

  • "My son really enjoyed the lessons and now is often found reading his literature books without much prompting! I am really pleased by Woog Education's courses. They make daunting books accessible to the most reluctant readers and make literature relatable"

    Parent of Year 12 A Level student, England

  • "My mum signed me up for the Romeo and Juliet Literary course as I was struggling with Shakespeare in school. I enjoyed learning with my tutor Dave who taught me all about the Shakespearean language and even the history behind the play. This was the first Shakespeare play that I have read and I am happy to say I am no longer intimidated by Shakespeare." 

    Grade 10 student - North London Collegiate School, Singapore

  • "I decided to sign up for Duffy's Worlds Wife as I was going to do it for my Individual oral. In school, we had gone over the texts, so I was familiar with the texts and analysis. However, working with my tutor I was able to understand the poems better and really prepare for my IO.  I am so glad I decided to go for this literary course, as it made all the difference to my grades"

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you offer these short Crash Courses?

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.

How are these classes conducted? What do the tutors focus on?

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. 

What makes your crash courses different from others?

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.

What curriculum and exam board are your courses suitable for?

We offer our literary crash courses for all IGCSE, IB/MYP ,College Boards Advance Placement (AP),  “0” and ’A’ level, English National Curriculum and American Common Core curricula. This will cover the majority of the English and literature classes taught at international Schools worldwide.  We also have ample experience customizing our literary courses for the Australian, German, South African, Singaporean curriculum. 

Are your programs suitable for students of all academic levels?

Yes, our programs cater to students across a wide range of academic levels and abilities. Whether you’re aiming for top scores or seeking additional support to overcome challenges, our programs are designed to meet you where you are and help you achieve your academic goals.

Should I choose the 6 hour or 12 hour course format?

As a general rule of thumb, if you are scoring an A or 6(IB), and are just looking for revision then the 6 hour course will suffice. For more in-depth revision and for those on track to score less then an A, the 12 hour course is best.

However if you need more help, our experienced academic advisors can guide you through the process of selecting the program that best fits your objectives. Please reach out to us for personalized assistance.
