Students in the Integrated Programme are not required to sit for the ‘O’ Level examination. Hence, our Integrated Programme English tuition programme is designed to help them cement a deep foundation in the English language through the Mastery of Linguistic Skills (the scientific study of language). Additionally, preparing them to tackle the final ‘A’ Level General Paper in IP Year 5 and 6.
What our IP English tuition aims to achieve
Global Thinkers, Future Leaders
We aim to instill in our Integrated Programme (IP) English Tuition students the love and passion for discussing politics and socio-economic issues, which are crucial topics in the General Paper when they advance to IP Year 5 and 6. Thus, our students are provided with a competitive edge and a strong foundation that will be their anchor throughout their academic journey. As a result, our students are not only ready to ace their IP English examinations but are also prepared for their future careers in the world’s leading industries.
Mastery of Linguistic Skills
After years of research with our in-house research team and refinement to our IP English tuition curriculum, we firmly believe that the linchpin of an A grade for IP English is the mastery of Linguistic Skills. Thus, our students are able to better understand and appreciate the English language and when mastered well, they are able to confidently answer and ace their IP English examination in the Comprehension component.
Critical Thinking and Content Knowledge
Apart from the skills and methodologies, we establish an optimal environment for critical thinking during our GP tuition lessons.
Through the integrated study of the Language Arts and Critical Analysis of the latest current affairs from an array of highly regarded international newspapers and journals, our students develop their critical thinking skills. Thus, our IP students are provided with valuable content knowledge and the confidence that they need when crafting cogent essays.

Are your tuition classes conducted in a group setting or individual tuition? TRT的课程是什么形式的？
Our General Paper and IP English tuition classes are conducted in a well-controlled group. Unlike Science and Mathematics, the IP English language and General Paper requires more than just rote learning of formulas. It is through the cross-fertilisation of ideas while studying for the language subjects that our students are exposed to various ideas, opinions and perspectives – the perfect environment that stimulates critical thinking. This will ultimately aid them in crafting a coherent essay during their examinations. While we aim to provide a broader view of the language subjects, we also refine the curriculum to suit our students’ needs, rectifying their weaker aspects and cementing their foundation before building upon it.
Does TRT offer trial lessons if I am unsure? 我还不确定是否要报名，请问TRT有提供试听课吗？
Yes! We offer all prospective students of The Rationale Thinking Learning Centre one trial lesson* of either General Paper or IP English tuition programme. The trial lesson is chargeable upon official registration for regular classes. Otherwise, your trial lesson will be complimentary.
