General Paper is a compulsory A level subject in Singapore that aims to bring forth higher level intellectual thinking regarding real world matters. In school, teachers go through certain key themes that are significant in today’s context, exploring the two sides of the argument. Sometimes, there are more than two sides to consider.
“How far is failure an essential part of success?” or “To what extent is the pursuit of continuous economic growth a desirable goal?” – These are some of the topics that students would encounter, and we can see that these are questions that are worthy to be thought about in greater detail.
Does taking this subject matter in the first place, and why even bother to do well in it? This may seem like a rhetorical question, as most of us would definitely see the real-world application of learning how to critically assess situations to arrive at the appropriate solution. No matter, we can see that most people believe in doing well for General Paper (GP). General Paper can also be challenging for some, which is why many opted for General Paper private tuition.
We understand that the transition from secondary to Junior College (JC) English essay writing and comprehension can be difficult. This is because, a different set of skills and writing style is needed, and definitely more critical thinking is needed. Given that there is less than two years to get better at the subject, most students would prefer to take up private tuition in General Paper to give themselves a boost, given the time limit. Our General Paper private home tutors are experienced and qualified, and they are capable of guiding your child to understand how to score for General Paper better. We have all heard of the saying that teachers in school usually have no time to have sufficient 1-to-1 time with their students, much less to have personalized teaching methods for their students.

One might think of General Paper as merely an extension of the English language subject taught in primary and secondary school. Therefore, if one has been doing well for English previously, it would most likely mean that one would also be adept at General Paper. However, we would think otherwise. As one of the more experienced private tuition agencies in Singapore, believe us when we tell you that we know our stuff. We see General Paper as an upgrade that builds upon what was taught for the English language beforehand, hence it is not enough to just be good at the English language to do well in General Paper. Definitely, a strong command of the English Language would go a long way, but it is insufficient to just rely on that for General Paper.

They would also teach them the ways of forming mature thoughts when it comes to understanding the workings of the world. All these are necessary for a student to excel in General Paper.

This is actually one of the main components of General Paper that most students struggle with. Suddenly, they are confronted with so many topics and each of them are multi-tiered in terms of their understanding and explanations.
