Life in Secondary School (Singapore)
Secondary school is a crucial stage of life where teenagers need to make good decision on their own and achieve independence. They are always at odds with parents and do not want to be around them they way they used to. They will rebel and disobey teachers. No doubt, it is also a place where they create memories and build their lifetime friendship.
Singapore’s education system is highly demanding and competitive. Secondary education is important as this is the path for taking the GCE ‘O’ level examination, which can determine where your child will progress to the next level - Junior college, Polytechnic or ITE. Hence, it causes tremendous stress and anxiety to both parents and children. We have some tips on helping your child transition from Primary to Secondary school.

Why Is Secondary School Tuition Needed?
The level of difficulty of the ‘O’ levels has been increasing ever since the Ministry of Education (MOE) collaborated with Cambridge in 2009. At the same time, secondary students manage up to eight or nine subjects in school.
Many students struggle to cope with the load of homework, assignments, tests, examinations and co-curricular activities. Standing out among peers is challenging. One effective way is to engage a secondary school home tutor to equip your child with the skills to meet these challenges.
