Best General Paper (GP) Tuition A Level Singapore

A student’s GP grade matters immensely. Although GP is a H1 subject, it weighs heavily in a student’s JC Rank Points computation. It will take up almost 15% of JC Rank Point from 2026 onwards. 15% is a significant difference! It will be a big differentiator! Many are going to score As or at least Bs for their 3 H2 subjects. So the big difference is going to lie in GP. Students who score well in other subjects but poorly in GP risk being denied admission to the university of their choice because they have lower RP.

It is also often used by university admissions officers as an indicator of a student’s ability to cope with academic rigour and engage in interdisciplinary thinking. These are important requirements for higher education. Priority is thus often given to students who do well in GP.

And without GP Tuition, it is really tough to excel in GP. Just remember that only 20-30% score A for GP. This is the dismal statistics despite tuition nation!

Yes, the GP classes are also Online. It has worked so well for Economics Tuition, naturally it will also work very well for GP. Physical options are also available in Bishan as we do operate at hybrid mode. However, practically all our existing students prefer it online! You can state your preference.

Do note that we also organise quarterly in-person sessions during the school hols for lively debates / discussions and to stuff ourselves with yummies!

Because of the global pandemic, online lessons have slowly become a norm. As usual, Mr Hong is ahead of the curve and has conducted online tuition since 2010! 

According to the feedback given by many of our students, the online classes are just as effective as the usual physical classes, whereby students are still able to interact with each other and ask/answer questions during the online class. Students enrolled in our online lessons can also access the recordings from previous lessons and save time on travelling compared to regular physical classes.

Some 1-1 classes may be a necessary boost for students who are very weak in grasping GP topics and skills. Not to worry, Mr Hong will recommend accordingly. For existing students in group classes, you can enjoy discounted fees for 1-to-1 lessons.

Of course! One of the best part of Online classes is you don’t have to worry about missing anything. All make-ups are through the video recorded lessons and you can clarify anything with us from the recorded lessons.

Presently, all 2023 time slots are full except Tues 730pm and Sat 12noon. Please enquire for any update.

No, they are not!

The way of crafting arguments and structuring one’s points are similar.

However, economics is a “technical” subject. Mr Hong deems it a GP+Math+Science. There is a need to furnish technical explanations (the Math + Science parts) in your economics essay, which would be inappropriate for GP. There are also diagrammatic illustrations and analyses needed in an economics essay, which also would not be relevant for GP.

Yes, General Paper (GP) grade is important for students taking the GCE A-Level examination in Singapore. GP is a compulsory subject that is used to assess a student’s proficiency in language and critical thinking skills. The grade obtained in GP is used in the computation of the student’s JC rank points, which determines their eligibility for admission into the local universities.

Needless to say, one must score well for GP to have a better chance to be admitted into extremely competitive faculties of Medicine, Law, Computer Science and even Business.

Apart from being a factor for university admission, a good GP grade is also important for students who are applying for scholarships or bursaries, as many of these awards require a minimum GP grade as a prerequisite.

Moreover, having strong language and critical thinking skills that GP aims to develop is essential for success in higher education and in the workplace. These skills can help students communicate effectively, think critically, and make informed decisions, which are important in many fields and industries.

Having knowledge about many global, local, societal and “human” issues is also very important for one to navigate the complexities of life and this world.

With the knowledge and the ability to think critically and creatively, our founder Mr Kelvin Hong hopes that all his students can contribute to making this world a better place.
