“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”
子僖去年加入 Edwin 老师的补习班。 以前的她对英文没有信心，从小学到中二英文一直是她比较薄弱的一科，成绩也不如人意。 自从加入 Edwin 老师的补习班后，我发现她对英文的兴趣与信心与日俱增。 Edwin 老师总是精心准备教材，让学生感受到他对教学的热忱； 课题紧贴时事，总能引发学生的深入思考，培养学生的思辨能力； Edwin 老师在课堂上也总是鼓励学生各抒己见，尊重学生的意见与看法，给了每个学生畅所欲言的平台。 正是在各因素的综合作用下，子僖对英文学习的态度与方法都发生了积极的改变， 她不仅变得爱阅读，也更关注时事，并对问题有了自己的思考与见解。 所谓“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”，读书并思考使她的成绩也稳步提高， 由原来的刚及格进步到了中四的A级。 Edwin 老师真的谢谢您！

“Teacher Edwin对学生很好，把学生们当自己孩子一样对待。”
我是华中初院学生彦文的妈妈，彦文是在 JC 1 四月正式开始上teacher Edwin的GP课。彦文之前没有参加任何的英文或GP补习，GP写作卷面部分比较薄弱，在学校的 JC1年底考试中GP只是C。当时我咨询了一位很有经验的莱佛士家长，她推荐了teacher Edwin。我下了一番功夫做彦文的思想工作，她好不容易才答应试一下。结果 JC 2 三月底的那节试课就深深吸引了她！非常愿意继续下去！
在9月学校的预考中，她开心获取了A！我还记得预考时考完GP回来，她高兴地告诉我在做答GP的essay写作卷时，她从以往没太多观点可以写，已经改变为下笔有很多观点和想法可以写了。我问她是不是teacher Edwin的课帮助到她，她很肯定地回答“是！” 并告诉我，teacher Edwin的课让她发觉和体验到GP其实是很有趣的科目。她还评价“teacher Edwin对学生很好，把学生们当自己孩子一样对待。
作为家长，我很庆幸、很开心彦文遇到这样好的老师！ 彦文也保持着对GP的学习兴趣和自信，稳稳地在A Level中获取A!

Effective teaching methodology that helped my son improve so quickly.
我家孩子语言能力特别弱，虽然中学也在GEP班，但是每次英文考试都在B3-B4挣扎。 1月份开始上Edwin老师的IP英文课 ，3月份学校英文考试拿到A2，差一分拿A1，孩子非常开心。这是进中学以来英文第一次拿到这样的成绩。 很感谢Edwin老师，教课有方法能迅速让学生提高英文成绩。

“A teacher who can inspire, empower and instil the love of learning is like a rare gem.”
一位能够激发、赋予和灌输对学习的热爱的老师就像一颗稀有的宝石。 我很开心我的女儿有幸遇到了一位可以帮助她的英语补习老师。 Edwin老师对他的工作充满热情。 我希望他能继续帮助更多学生不仅在学业上出类拔萃，而且在他们语言方面培养出欣赏性。

“My two boys are excited to bring home what they have learnt from their lessons”
Edwin老师口才良好，教学发也很有效。 他的确是典型的明星英文补习老师，性格可蔼可亲。 过去一年，我两个孩子一直上他的英文补习课。 我大儿子（Ryan）非常喜欢所受教的课程。 Edwin老师采用了整体教育方式，帮了我的儿子提高他们的沟通技巧、写作能力、词汇量与英语语法。 这的确拓宽了他们的视野！
我小儿子（Shaun）总是不喜欢去补习，因为他觉得这只是浪费时间和金钱。 但让我更惊讶的是他不介意继续上Edwin老师的英文补习课，因为Edwin老师始终如一地提供一个高质量的学习经验。 他丰富课程简化了本地与国际时事，使学生们能够容易了解 自从Shaun加入了Edwin老师的英文补习课，他对自己的英语语言能力更有信心，而且他在学校的英文成绩在短短的时间内跃升两等级。
我两个孩子每次很兴奋将他们从课程中所学到的知识带回家并在用餐时分享！ 身为一个家长，我确信我的孩子在Edwin老师的指导下收到了很好的照顾。 我会继续送我孩子去TRT教育补习中心受教，我也推荐你来尝试一下。

Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first.
最初，当Yuxin跟我说他要上Edwin老师的英文补习课，我很犹豫，因为他从小就对英语没什么感兴趣。 我们都知道英语的重要性，所以我一直鼓励他多阅读英文书。虽然他英文成绩已经不太好，但他还是把我的劝告当耳边风。 身为家长，我对他学业非常担心。我们知道英文对其他科目取得好成绩会有些帮助。
既然Yuxin终于有兴趣加入Edwin老师英文补习课，我就决定让他尝试一下。 加入补习课几个月后，我发现他词汇量已经扩大了。
过去一年在Edwin老师的指导下，他英文成绩进步了很多。 让我跟惊诧的事是Yuxin的性格有些改变。
英文补习应该只是帮我儿子提高他英语语言能力，这与性格有什么关系呢？ 我相信这都是归给Edwin老师在课堂上所分享的许多时事和自生经验启发了学生们，尤其是我儿子。 我非常感谢Edwin老师为Yuxin所做的一切，因为Yuxin从来对学业没什么兴趣，但他现在还会亲自去买书来阅读。 最终，Yuxin改变了主意，Ｏ水准考好之后进了莱佛士书院。

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.
