2016 O levels (Kids born in 2000)

[CatMoon]

Child found difficulty in humanities subjects. Is there a need for tuition? Thought humanities are more of rote learning and thus, tuition may not help much.

Do tuition centre do elect geo as 1 subject or a child has to go for 2 tuitions, namely social studies and elective geo? Or would the tuition centre do pure geo and elect geo differently?

Any recommended centre?

Thanks.

I hardly come across tuition centre that conducts humans subjects. Probably there is but I heard from DD that mostly need to engage personal tutors.

I only know that Wordsmiths Learning Centre at Parkway Parade teaches history and social studies, not geog.

i do wish there will be more vacancies for courses...even though some do IP and that reduce a little competition.

It's time to plan a revision schedule leading up to actual papers now that dates are confirmed and released. Son signed the exam form last week stating his personal details and also the subjects he will be taking.

Just want to advise that the type of questions have changed in last year's O levels - test more on concepts n analysis. So doing TYS is no longer sufficient.

I suggest students seek help from subject teachers on how to tackle this change.
