Congratulations, Primary Sixes, one paper down – English Language paper is over. Now, let’s focus on Mathematics! Yes, ‘The dreadful PSLE Math examination’ – that is how many of us think about the PSLE mathematics examination (or any other math examination for that matter of fact). But, guess what? That doesn’t necessarily has to be…

How much studying is too much?
We are in the PSLE season folks. What happens when the exams are around? Normally, both students, as well as their parents, make efforts to step up their game. You pour in the midnight oil, you try to cover everything in the syllabus and quite often you freak out.
Online Learning – How’s the trend post-COVID-19 chaos?
23 January 2020 – A date that many would shudder when they recall this date. Health authorities and residents of Singapore collectively sigh as we think back on this date. This was the date that the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in Singapore.
Celebrating our Selfless Teachers!
4 September 2020 – What’s the significance of this date? It’s not Independence day, it’s not Singapore’s National Day. Yes, it marks the start of the much-anticipated September school holidays, but that’s only after we celebrate Teachers’ Day! As we enter into the month of September, it is time for us to pause and remember a group of unsung heroes of this year. Not all heroes wear capes. Some handle classes for students over zoom too! 🙂
The Key to Stress-Free Learning!
Stress almost inevitably creeps up into our daily routines, especially when it comes to learning (yes, all you stressed students know exactly what I am talking about). I guess we can all agree on the fact that more often than not, stress ends up being a negative influence on the learning process, and eventually takes a toll on how we feel. But, do we know how to get rid of it?
How to remain top of your game during exam time?
With the last-minute revision, cramming of information and content just the night before the exams, these tactics usually form the base of the usual exam routine. Tensions can soar, tempers can rise, and the usual humdrum days can suddenly seem very chaotic.
Help! How can I optimise my revision?
Say the word “Exam!” and you’ll watch as the eyes of students widen as they are sent into an almost-immediate panic mode. Yes, it is inevitable that all of us (who have gone through the academic phase of our lives) know this isn’t going to be the first time we hear the word and certainly won’t be the last. What causes this anxiety? Is there nothing to prevent us from feeling this way?
How can I converse better?
Effective communication isn’t a skill that is acquired overnight. Ask any successful speaker or anyone in your circle who converses well on how they acquired this skill? You’re going to listen to these replies – “It took me years of practice to master this skill”, “I used to read a lot of books”, “I used to give speeches to a large audience” and so on.
Happy Birthday, Singapore! We celebrate US!
As we welcome the nation’s 55th National Day, we inhale deeply because this has definitely been a challenging year for many of us. Undoubtedly what we would describe as an unprecedented year, no one saw Covid-19 coming, let alone expected the massive changes that this virus has made in our lives. The entire world has been struck and we are still reeling under its impact.
How much must I practice to get my A* for Math?
Over the past few decades, the world has changed beyond recognition. But there are some things that haven’t changed. Among these unchanging aspects is the ‘fear of math’ that has been passed on from generation to generation. Well, it isn’t a surprise then that maths tuition is something that is eagerly sought after by parents and students.
