Our ESB methodology scaffolds map reading, data interpretation, and structured responses so students build geographic literacy with confidence.
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.
