Why O-Level & IP Students Struggle With English
Many students face common challenges in English regardless of their stream. O-Level students often find it challenging to infer meaning and identify literary devices in unseen texts, and struggle with the structured requirements of Situational Writing and essay planning. IP students face greater challenges with analysing sophisticated literary works and constructing nuanced arguments. Both streams may have weak grammar foundations and limited vocabulary that hinder clear expression. Our tutors address these issues systematically through structured frameworks and regular practice.
- 1Weak essay structure and argument development
- 2Limited vocabulary range affecting composition quality
- 3Poor comprehension inference and evaluation skills
- 4Difficulty with summary writing techniques
- 5Oral examination anxiety and lack of confidence
