IB MYP 9 Chinese tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers focused classes capped at 6 students, aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme framework. Weekly 2-hour lessons use our ESB methodology to develop nuanced interpretation, comparative analysis, and audience-appropriate expression preparing for Year 5 eAssessment. "MYP Year 4 requires sophisticated reading—students learn to interrogate perspectives and evaluate authorial impact," explains our teaching faculty. Our approach develops articulate communicators who control complex ideas.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Self-directed retrieval scheduling where students learn to identify their own weak areas and plan review cycles accordingly — developing the metacognitive skills essential for A-Level success and independent university study.
Socratic Questioning
Rigorous dialectic questioning where students must justify their reasoning and consider counterarguments — 'What evidence supports this?' and 'Where could this logic break down?' — building the analytical rigour expected in higher education.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Minimal scaffolding with maximum autonomy — tutors pose challenging problems and observe, intervening only when students are genuinely stuck — preparing students to structure their own approach to unfamiliar problems.
