The GP Expert
ABOUT GP
What is GP about? GP comprises 2 components: Paper 1 which is the Essay paper, and Paper 2 which is the Comprehension paper. My GP tuition lessons will cover both Papers concurrently (so that students will be well-equipped for both papers), and we will be working on Content material (arguments, counterarguments, examples etc), Language skills (paragraph development, paraphrasing, inference etc) and Structure format (proper argumentative style, essay coherence, Application Question format etc).

MY TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Ex-MOE & NIE-trained JC lecturer & tutor
Taught at JC level and higher (university undergraduate and postgraduate academic writing courses)
Founding Director and Principal Tutor of Irwin’s Study, a leading ‘O’ & ‘A’-Level Tuition Specialist Centre
MY SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
One year after Irwin’s Study was established, MENDAKI approached me to partner them in their ‘A’-Level Tuition Subsidy Scheme for students who come from lower-income families. I was most glad to help out and have since personally taught GP and also provided JC tuition through my other tutors for many students on this scheme. In 2012, The New Paper learnt about this and wrote a feature story.
MY LIFE PHILOSOPHY
One of the quotes that have continuously guided me in my teaching is by the poet W.B. Yeats who said that, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Indeed, for a content-rich subject such as General Paper (GP), it’s easy to focus only on imparting head knowledge and content material.
