I’m a father to two lovely children.
As a responsible parent, I make sure to teach them the right values in life.
I’m sure that all parents do that too.
This is because, we all believe that we need to teach our children in the way they should go when they are young so that they will not depart from that path even when they grow up.
Yet, as our children grow older however, the relentless pursuit of academic success often means that these values are forgotten.
In some cases, they are even completely abandoned.
But why?
Why must values and results be two separate things?
That got me thinking all those years ago…
That’s exactly what our programme has managed to do!
We combine powerful English study strategies with our Pentagon Values System, to arm your child with the tools and thinking processes to achieve perpetual success in all areas.
In other words, we don’t just focus on the next exam.
We don’t just prepare your child to score A1 or AL2 for English.
We do all that, and more. MUCH more. In fact, what we are trying to do is to equip your children with the tools to handle the real exam – that being to achieve success in their lives beyond the classroom.
With our Pentagon Values System, our graduates not only managed to achieve excellence in English exams, but go on to become pillars of society too.
The curriculum has changed over the years. It’ll probably change again in the near future. Exam difficulty levels have increased over the years. It’ll probably increase again in the near future.
Perhaps even sooner than you think. I.E., when your child sits for the PSLE or ‘O’ Level English exam. Nonetheless, if your child develops and exhibits the right values, all those changes won’t mean much, if at all.
This is so as internal values trump external factors all the time! The results of our countless number of students support the fact that our “Results Through Values” approach, while unique, is highly effective. Your child can be the next in our long line of success stories!
Don’t take my word for it. Have a look at our students’ results.
Head Teacher, DO Applied Learning
Daniel founded DO Applied Learning in 2016 after a decade in public service. A BBA graduate Summa Cum Laude from Singapore Management University and former Public Service Leadership Programme appointee (June 2014), he has since helped hundreds of Primary and Secondary students across Marine Parade raise their PSLE and O-Level English grades — by teaching the underlying skills, not just exam techniques.
His structured approach targets the exact components students lose marks on: composition, situational writing, synthesis and transformation, comprehension, and oral — each one addressed with methods developed from years of classroom refinement.
