As parents ourselves, we experience the stress our own children struggle with in school. This stress just keeps increasing, year after year. The questions keep getting harder and the time to complete them gets shorter.
We think to ourselves, “Gosh! Were we so stressed during our own school days? How did we ever manage to keep up?” Worse, the syllabus has changed so much that we cannot help our children, even if we had the time to. The questions have just changed so much!
Yet, being in this highly competitive society, where excellent grades matter so much, our children face so much pressure trying their best to do well in their school’s examinations. There are some children who really do very well under such situations,
but most other children don’t.
These children, after numerous attempts to do well and who still cannot get the marks they deserve, get discouraged and can become indifferent. As teachers and parents, we know that such children are the hardest ones to reach out to. My wish for
such children is that they had obtained help earlier. With early intervention, these children can be turned around and do better in their studies. Subsequently, more opportunities will be opened up to them when seeking university studies and
looking for their ideal jobs.
In the past, we have seen too many children who missed out on better opportunities in life simply because they did not get the help they needed when they were in school.
We have also encountered students who were turned away from ‘prestigious’ Tuition / Enrichment Centres simply because their grades in school were not good enough. Some of them were even rejected admission to such centers because they failed that learning
center’s Admission Test. This is incredulous! The reason why these students approached early learning centres in the first place is because they needed help to do better in their Examinations, yet they were rejected. This just makes me mad!
We started
Knowledge Trail Learning Centrewith this aim – to help
ALL students, regardless of their initial ability, to
- build a strong foundation in their understanding,
- gain greater self-confidence
- and get “A” in their examinations in school.
We have gathered a strong team of excellent teachers who, through their effective teaching during our tuition lessons, have helped their students increase their scores by more than 2 grades! During our years of teaching at Knowledge Trail, we have
been privileged to have many students who trusted us and they did so well in their examinations. They have now gone on to greater things in life. What they needed was a helping hand during that time in school.
