About Tuition Centre

We set up the IB Lounge as we realised that there was a lack in quality and suitable external assistance for students taking the IB.

Having gone through the program itself, we realise how unique and rigorous it was. The IB focuses on how the concepts learnt can be applied to real world scenarios. This means that students have to be deeply engaged in the subjects they are learning as well as have a keen curiosity as to how they are applicable beyond classrooms.

Some tuition services in Singapore do not instill such skills in their students. This is understandable as many of these tutors have not been through the IB program themselves. Therefore, they may not understand the mindsets or learning styles that the IB demands. While we do not claim to be masters of the IB, but as graduates who have excelled in the program, we believe we have a better idea of what the IB requires and how to excel in it. Who’s better to teach the IB than those who have been through it before?

Having personally vetted through the tutors, I have seen their passion not only in their respective subjects but also in wanting to share their enthusiasm. As someone who struggled in school, I found myself smiling to myself as they taught me concepts I had so much trouble grasping in the past. Yet, it felt so effortless to understand and I was having fun whilst learning.Our tutors are currently studying in university, many of them pursuing paths that would lead to their dream careers. Being young, we are able to be relatable to our students. Through this, we hope to foster a good relationship with them and build a safe environment for students to embrace mistakes and stay curious.

We are also exploring creative solutions that we believe our students will benefit from. For a start, we have created an exclusive online forum for our students. The forum provides access to our community of tutors and other students. Students will be able to post questions they have throughout the week as well as seek guidance from tutors regarding a variety of topics spanning subject-related matters and university advice. At the same time, we are in the midst of creating guides that include topics such as University applications, Internal Assessments and Extended Essays. Our students’ journeys will be eased by our our own arduous experiences. We will share our in-depth understanding of the content, as proven by our IB results. But more importantly, we hope to inspire our students to appreciate and enjoy what they are learning through real world examples and engaging classes.
