01The November and December window

The weeks after promos are the longest unbroken block you get.

After promos, most JC1 students stop. But the weeks before JC2 begins are the one long block of unbroken time you get, and the strongest students use it as a working block. GP rewards content depth and writing reps, and both take time that the JC2 term does not give you.

i. Content

The core themes, built early.

Lay the content base across science and technology, economics and politics, and the local to global lens, so JC2 starts from depth rather than scratch.

ii. Skills

Essay and comprehension technique.

Essay structure and comprehension method, taught explicitly, so the reps you do in JC2 land on a technique that already works.

iii. Momentum

Enter JC2 already moving.

Enter JC2 with more than thirty six hours of preparation behind you, instead of spending Term 1 catching up.

02The offer

Pay for twelve lessons. Get seventeen.

The early bird promotion gives you five bonus lessons on top of the twelve you pay for, seventeen lessons in all. That works out to roughly $70 per lesson. The headstart intake is capped at 40, so registration closes when it fills. Message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488 to check what is open.

05Two ways into JC2

With the headstart, and without.

Without

Enter JC2 cold.

Rusty from the break, spending Term 1 catching up, and realising too late that GP needs sustained practice.

With

Enter JC2 ahead.

More than thirty six hours of preparation done, core themes already covered, and technique in place before Term 1 starts.

FAQCommon questions

Who it is for, missed sessions and the cohort size.

Who should attend the headstart lessons?
Any JC1 student who has finished promotional exams. The programme is designed to give you a headstart into JC2, whatever your current grade.
What if I am not free for some sessions?
That is what the recorded lessons are for. All sessions are recorded, so you can catch up on any you miss on your own time.
What if I join after the programme has started?
No problem. Every session is recorded, so you receive a recording of anything you missed and can join the live sessions from that point.
How big is the cohort?
We cap the entire headstart intake at 40, so that every student gets personal attention and small group review. Registration closes when it fills. Message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488 to check what is open.
Who teaches and marks the lessons?
Former MOE teachers and JC lecturers with long experience teaching A Level General Paper, supported by tutors with strong academic and debating backgrounds. We keep tutors unnamed on purpose. The system, the in house materials and the marking rigour are the constant that every student gets, rather than the luck of one personality. Your essays are marked against the Cambridge band descriptors, and you can book consults to talk through a topic or a paper.
