IB MYP 6 Chinese tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers intimate groups of up to 6 students, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme framework. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to build strong foundations in analytical reading, personal response, and criterion-aligned writing. "MYP Year 1 establishes new expectations—students learn to engage with assessment criteria while developing their analytical voice," according to our educators. Our approach develops confident learners ready for MYP rigour.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Planned retrieval practice at expanding intervals — weekly topic quizzes, monthly mixed reviews, and term revision cycles — timed to strengthen memory just before it weakens, so knowledge stays accessible under exam pressure.
Socratic Questioning
Probing questions that surface each student's reasoning — 'Why did you choose that method?' and 'What if the question changed this detail?' — revealing gaps in understanding early so misconceptions are corrected before they compound.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Graduated support from fully guided to fully independent — tutors first model the solution, then prompt during practice, then observe silently — systematically building competence while ensuring students do not develop reliance on hints.

Frequently Asked Questions
MYP 6 introduces criterion-based assessment with four criteria (Analysing, Organising, Producing Text, Using Language). Students transition from exploratory PYP learning to more structured analytical approaches while maintaining inquiry habits.
MYP Language and Literature uses four criteria: Criterion A (Analysing), Criterion B (Organising), Criterion C (Producing Text), and Criterion D (Using Language). Each is assessed on a scale of 0-8 and contributes to the overall grade.
