When Effort Doesn’t Match the Report Card

Many parents notice a puzzling pattern. You see your child sit at the table, complete assessment books, and memorise vocabulary lists. They are clearly putting in the hours.

Yet, their marks often remain in the AL4, AL5, or even AL6 range. It is natural to feel frustrated when you see them trying their best but not getting the breakthrough they deserve.

The Generic Approach Fails

Standard tuition often focuses on doing more of the same questions. But if a child is misreading the question due to a lack of focus, doing more questions only reinforces the mistake.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Success Through Character: A Different Way to Teach English

We believe that academic struggles are often habit struggles in disguise. Here is how we build the character traits that lead to better grades.

1. Humility

We encourage our students to embrace humility as a stepping stone to success. Students can only improve when they accept that they’re making mistakes and are open to feedback.

2. Courage

Instead of pushing blame, top students face their shortcomings head-on. We teach students to see each challenge not as a failure, but as an opportunity to grow stronger and more competent.

3. Diligence

Old fashioned hard work is applied to overcome shortcomings. We guide our students to put in consistent effort, showing them how dedication translates into remarkable achievements in academics and life.

4. Discernment

We equip our students with discernment, providing them with the right frameworks to analyse situations logically. This critical thinking is what will distinguish them from the rest of the pack.

5. Attentiveness

To minimise careless mistakes, we emphasise attentiveness. Students will be guided on how to pay precise attention to detail, ensuring they approach every task with the focus and dedication it deserves.

How We Build Academic Maturity

Step 1: Learning to Focus (The Foundation)

We teach your child the importance of following instructions precisely. This simple discipline helps them avoid misreading questions and losing unnecessary marks.

Step 2: Building Belief (The Progress)

We use small, achievable goals to show your child that they can answer difficult questions. Seeing their own progress is the best way to replace exam anxiety with confidence.

Step 3: Becoming Independent (The Goal)

Our aim is for your child to take ownership of their revision. We teach them to spot their own errors so they can study effectively even when you aren’t there to supervise.

The #1 misconception most parents have about the Primary School PSLE English Language Syllabus in Singapore

Most parents seem to think that English is “common sense” and can be improved by reading books or news articles…

Yes, this statement is true to a certain extent. English can be improved naturally through time and by reading more books or articles, leading to a stronger command of the language.

While it’s true that reading enhances language skills, the Singapore Primary School English syllabus is more than understanding far beyond just a good command of the language.

Here’s what I mean:

For primary school, one of the dreaded sections in the primary school exams and PSLE is Synthesis & Transformation.

Synthesis & Transformation in a nutshell, is re-arranging and combining sentences together.

If a primary school student has a strong foundation in English from reading books or news articles, then yes, they’ll be able to solve basic questions with relative ease.

However, just “talent” or a strong foundation in English may not be enough for more tricky questions like these from PSLE 2019:

The more challenging questions, like the ones above, require more than just understanding English. They demand mastery of specific techniques and methods that need to be followed and cannot be easily solved with just a “feel.”.

At DO Applied Learning (By Epoch Talent Academy), we recognise that every mark is a stepping stone to your child’s success. Leaving such crucial sections to “eye-balled” or a hopeful “winging-it” strategy can result in unnecessary loss of marks, potentially affecting their overall grade.

How Better Habits Lead to AL1 & AL2 Scores

Improving Grammar Accuracy

THE HABIT: WILLINGNESS TO LEARN (HUMILITY)

Your child learns to welcome corrections as helpful data. This openness allows them to fix repeated grammar errors quickly instead of defending them.

Mastering Comprehension

THE HABIT: CRITICAL THINKING (DISCERNMENT)

We teach students to pause and analyse the author’s intent. This deeper thinking is the key to answering the challenging ‘inference’ questions in the Upper Primary papers.

Preparing for the New Oral Exam

THE HABIT: COURAGE

The new oral format requires students to share personal opinions. We provide a safe, small-group environment where shy children can practice speaking up until it feels natural.

Building a Rich Vocabulary

THE HABIT: DILIGENCE

Vocabulary grows through consistent effort, not last-minute cramming. We guide students to apply diligence in learning new words weekly, ensuring they have the precise language needed for top-tier writing.

Reducing Careless Mistakes

THE HABIT: ATTENTIVENESS

It is painful to lose marks on questions the child knows. We teach the habit of double-checking and close reading, transforming ‘careless’ errors into saved marks.

Do Applied Learning By epoch Talent academy is NOT your average tuition programme In Singapore: Discover Why…

At Do Applied Learning by Epoch Talent Academy, we’re redefining the essence of English tuition. We focus heavily on equipping your child with proven mindsets, values, and an attitude that he or she will need to excel in both exams and in life.

What makes us different is more than just our focus on good grades. We also work to develop your child’s resilience and adaptability, preparing them for success in all areas.

Our approach is more than what you find in typical local English classes. We blend simple, effective learning with overall growth.

Meaning, our focus is not solely on the next exam, or that A1 or AL2 for English.

Of course, bumping up your child’s English results is a huge priority for us, but we do much more in helping him or her build mental frameworks that will serve them for life.

We’ve boiled all the mindsets, values, attitudes into a simple and condensed framework.

We call this the Pentagon Values System.

Stories from Families in Singapore

Our graduates have used the Pentagon Values System to launch themselves far into their dream career and become pillars of society

Medical Doctor

I first met Teacher Daniel when I was a P5 student at Tao Nan School. Even at that age, I could see that the way in which he approached learning was very different from others. He focused on purposeful learning, and would always explain the rationale for anything he taught. His patience was also something I appreciated as I was an inquisitive child who asked many questions in class.

Help your child to Excel Their Potential Beyond The Classroom With Proven Strategies And The Right Life Values

I understand the traditional expectations of English tuition centres focusing solely on academics, yet as an educator and a parent of two wonderful children, I challenge this narrow perspective.

I see my students as my own, striving to provide academic education and comprehensive life lessons.

So this got me thinking, would academic skills really be the only thing I want to impart to them?

The answer became obvious.

As an educator, how can I not help my students develop the right values and mindsets that will serve them even after I’m not there for them?

And so, our approach goes beyond the conventional. We integrate our Proven English Study Systems with the transformative Pentagon Values System, ensuring your child is prepared for the PSLE and poised to excel in every aspect of their future.

This dual-focused strategy is not about questioning the norm but transcending it. It’s about recognising that true education moulds the entire individual, preparing them for life’s complexities and future challenges.

I aim to prepare to unlock your child’s fullest potential academically and as a beacon of values, ready to become leaders and pioneers in their chosen paths.
