Our Integrated Programme Literature lessons are designed to build on top of existing IP English lessons, helping students to score in their English Literature.
Our IP Literature tuition programme is structured to break down concepts that may seem complicated into simpler, more understandable bite-sizes, whilst also teaching and reinforcing good writing habits and structures, thus helping students to score in their examinations.
To enrol in our IP Literature classes, you must already be enrolled in our IP English classes.
What our IP Literature tuition aims to achieve
Skills to ace Literature
We aim to provide simple to understand and intuitive strategies to acing Passage-based Questions (PBQs), Unseen Poems/Prose and Essays.
With these skills, students will be able to produce a piece of writing that will help them excel in the study of Literature
Mastery of Language
After rigorous research and analysis of the subject and the MOE curriculum, we are able to offer a highly-refined curriculum focused on breaking down a complicated subject and training students in essential skills for text analysis and breakdown, helping our students in spotting and identifying ideas within texts that may otherwise slip under their radar.
Content Knowledge
Content Knowledge is critical to doing well in Literature.
We believe that whilst memorisation is important, students have to be able to draw connections between the questions in the papers and the text, rather than just hardcore memorising.
We focus on helping students understand what the text is trying to convey and walk them through the process of content analysis and application of content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tuition programmes are offered at The Rationale Thinking?
The Rationale Thinking Learning Centre currently offers you two unique tuition programmes to choose from – ‘A’ Level General Paper tuition and the IP English tuition. Find out more about our unique approach to our tuition curriculum here.
Why is there a need for General Paper Tuition and IP English Tuition?
The preponderance of students in Singapore struggle with mastering the Language subjects. However, the English language is arguably the most important subject in Singapore as it is our lingua franca. Furthermore, the daily use of Singapore Colloquial English (commonly known as Singlish) is exacerbating this problem further. As a language specialist, we aim to tackle this prevalent issue. A strong foundation in the English language is vital to acing other subjects such as General Paper, Humanities, Mathematics, Science, etc. and ultimately getting coveted placements in Ivy League Universities.
Here at The Rationale Thinking Learning Centre, we specialise in coaching our students in the English Language and General Paper. Our specially curated curriculum aims to break down the complexity and technicalities of mastering the English language and General Paper to give our students the confidence to attain their Distinctions.
Why should I join The Rationale Thinking?
The Rationale Thinking Learning Centre prides itself in not just enabling our students to score Distinctions for the ‘A’ Level General Paper and the IP English examinations, but we also firmly believe in moulding the next generation to become Global Thinkers. With our carefully curated in-house notes assembled by our dedicated research team, we train and impart our students with the skills and knowledge that are not taught in school. Not forgetting to build up a good character to prepare them for their future careers in the world’s leading industries.
For a start, we offer all prospective students of The Rationale Thinking one trial lesson*. More details about our trial lesson can be found here.
Are your tuition classes conducted in a group setting or individual tuition?
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.
Who is the tutor?
Mr Edwin Wong personally coaches his students for both General Paper and IP English tuition programmes. He is a well sought-after English language specialist, revolutionary thinker and transformational teacher. He has helped numerous students achieve Distinctions in their IP English examinations and their ‘A’ Level General Paper and many of them have gone on to secure placements in competitive academic courses in local universities or obtained Public Service Commission (Overseas Scholarship) with Ivy-League Universities.
I am interested in the tuition programmes. Are trial lessons offered?
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. More information and details can be found here.
