IP English

The IP English Tuition Program

The Learners’ Lodge IP English tuition program aims to develop in students the ability to think critically, to construct cogent arguments and to communicate their ideas using clear, accurate and effective language. We encourage students to explore a range of key issues of global and local significance and provides our IP students with a good foundation to thrive in a fast-changing world.

At Learners’ Lodge, we understand that each IP school’s syllabus varies, hence our lesson is tailored according to each IP school. Hence, the lessons can be conducted more effectively and enable our teachers to impart the most effective techniques for improvements.

We have dedicated classes for students from St Nicholas Girls, Catholic High, Raffles Institution and Raffles Girls School. Kindly call 9119 9655 to enquire on our timeslots.

Resources

• The most important feature of any tuition centre is its teaching staff. The IP students at our centre are particularly fortunate to be taught by well-qualified and highly experienced ex-MOE IP school teachers who are available before and after lessons to assist students with their regular homework problems or with any other issues with proven examination success.
• All lessons are taught in a well-equipped state of the art classroom, allowing teachers to integrate aids like audio-visual software and documentaries into their lessons to enhance their understanding of geopolitical and social-economics issues.
• Most importantly, we see each of our centres as a lyceum, that is, a place where students from different educational institutions are able to meet in order to engage in dialogue, and a place where the cross-fertilisation of ideas may take place.
