Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 2 G1 English tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) strengthens functional reading and writing skills built in Sec 1. Under Full SBB, Sec 2 is a key assessment year — strong performance can lead to a G2 level-up. Our ESB methodology expands text types, introduces longer writing tasks, and builds oral confidence for real-world situations.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Scheduled review sessions at increasing intervals — today, tomorrow, next week, next month — so concepts are revisited just before they fade, building durable long-term memory through strategic timing rather than cramming.
Socratic Questioning
Purposeful questioning that guides children to discover answers themselves — 'How did you figure that out?' and 'What would happen if we tried it another way?' — developing thinking skills rather than just memorising answers.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Step-by-step support that is gradually removed as confidence grows — tutors first demonstrate, then guide with prompts, then step back as children work independently — ensuring mastery at each stage before moving forward.
