Class size
Maximum 4 students
Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by level — if no existing session matches your child’s pace, we open a new one.
Class registration for the 2027 school year is open.
IP English & Language Arts tuition
IP English and Language Arts assignments can ask a student to interpret a poem, evaluate an argument or develop a sustained response. We use the school’s texts and assessment criteria to help students move from observations to an argument they can defend.
Live online classes · Maximum 4 students · 1.5 hours weekly
Support for the texts and tasks set by your school
- Close reading of prose, poetry, drama and non-literary texts where assigned
- Literary analysis: language, structure, voice and their effects
- Argumentative and discursive writing: claims, evidence and counterarguments
- Presentations and discussion linked to school assignments
An IP course needs its school context
MOE describes IP as a six-year programme. This class offer covers its Secondary 1–4 years; your school’s course materials determine the English and Language Arts work we plan together.
Where students need support
Analysis becomes a list of techniques
Naming a metaphor does not explain its effect. Students practise connecting a language choice to meaning and the wider passage.
An essay has points but no argument
We discuss what the essay is trying to establish and how each paragraph moves that argument forward.
Generic notes do not fit the assignment
Schools use different texts and tasks. A prompt, extract and rubric make the lesson relevant to what the student is being asked to do.
What we work on in class
Begin with the assignment and rubric
Bring the task, school feedback and relevant text. We identify what a successful response needs to demonstrate before drafting.
Test interpretations against the text
Students support a reading with precise evidence and consider whether an alternative interpretation fits the same passage.
Revise the line of reasoning
We look at how a paragraph connects evidence and explanation, then how paragraphs combine into a coherent response.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
How many students are in each class?
Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no session matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
Is there one IP English syllabus for all schools?
School programmes and assessments vary. We ask for the school’s assignment details and criteria so that the work in class fits the student’s English or Language Arts course.
Do these classes cover JC General Paper?
This page covers Secondary 1–4 IP English and Language Arts. It does not advertise a JC General Paper class.
