The quality of our experienced English tutors gives students a strong edge over their peers, firmly establishing Popular Tutors as the most reliable private tuition agency in Singapore.

We have Singapore’s largest team of over 4,600 experienced English tutors, with proven track records to help you score higher grades.

QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS

Our dependable English tutors are university undergraduates or have graduated from the top local and overseas universities.

IMPORTANCE OF HIRING QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS

Choosing truly qualified and experienced English tutors is important – to ensure that the information that they teach you is correct.

If the English tutors themselves did not manage to score an A for English, would they be able to teach you any proven ways to achieve an A?

TRUST ONLY COMPETENT AND EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS WITH PROVEN TRACK RECORDS

Some tutors quote the same or lower rates even though they scored only a B in the subject that they teach you.

If they can’t score an A themselves, will they be able to guide you properly?

SAFELY HIRE EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS

It is not worth taking a risk to learn the wrong information from irresponsible tutors, and then find that you need to spend the next few weeks or months having to “un-learn” the wrong information.

DIFFERENT MOE SCHOOLS TEACH ENGLISH DIFFERENTLY

The breadth and depth to which content is taught is known to vary across different schools, as teachers in each school are expected to tailor their lessons according to the learning needs and skills gaps of the students that they teach.

EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS USE THE LATEST MOE SYLLABUS AND PROVEN TEACHING METHODS

The MOE establishes the learning outcomes that it expects from the syllabus that it recommends.

The latest MOE syllabus and exams requires students to solve real-life and complex theoretical problems, rather than allowing students to simply recall information, or look up someone else’s answer to the question.

EVERY SCHOOL TEACHER IS EXPECTED TO TEACH THE SAME CONTENT DIFFERENTLY

With the emphasis on nurturing students who can think and apply their knowledge, every teacher needs to teach according to the learning capacity of the students in the classes they are allocated to.

This can also mean that teachers within the same school and from other schools are likely to teach according to what they themselves think are necessarily related to the syllabus and the national exams.

EXAM RISK

Some parents and students might view this as a risk, and that they will end up “spotting” the wrong topics – or worse, be underprepared for important exams.

MANY STUDENTS RECEIVE NASTY SHOCKS WHEN THEY TAKE EXAMS

Every year, hundreds of students complain about how difficult it is to score well in English, and how they sometimes find it hard to catch up with what is taught in class.

It is a fact that students will be tested on English material they have not been taught before.

REDUCE THE RISK THAT YOU ARE UNDER-PREPARED FOR EXAMS

Your experienced English tutor will show you how to extract information from your syllabus so that you can apply them in a logical, reasoned or deductive manner, even in unfamiliar situations.

This means that even if your English teacher in school has not taught the answers to the exams, that your experienced English tutor will have taught you the skills to calmly think through the (horrifying and unexpected) question and arrive at the correct answer.

EXPERT AND EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS

Our experienced English tutors would have themselves scored an A, and the students that they had tutored in English have achieved grade improvements after they started teaching them.

ANSWER DIFFICULT ENGLISH QUESTIONS – CORRECTLY

Good experienced English tutors will be able to deconstruct complex content, uncover hidden meanings in the English curriculum, and teach you strategic ways to answer exam questions – helping you to get that A.

It is easy.

And we want to help you succeed.

YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT, EVEN WHEN OTHER STUDENTS PANIC

These unexpectedly difficult questions can range from 20% to over 50% of all the exam questions during CA, SA and the important national exams.

You yourself might have been stunned by the type of questions that are on your exam sheets – you had never learnt this material before in school!

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH

It turns out that even the digital economy needs people who are good with words.

Without a sufficient understanding of words, students cannot communicate effectively with others, and cannot adequately express their own ideas.

VOCABULARY

So why is a rich vocabulary important to your success?

Vocabulary is the foundation for comprehension.

Unfamiliar words become holes in the text, preventing you from completely understanding what you have just read.

The greater number of words you know, the more you can interpret ideas from others, and be able to write in an engaging manner.

How articulate you are constitutes a big part of the impression that you make on others – including the person who marks your exam papers.

Relying on one or two words to describe an idea will be repetitive and not as persuasive, as relying on a vocabulary of 10-15 similarly descriptive terms.

IMPORTANCE OF VOCABULARY

Vocabulary is important across the curriculum in Singapore school – and is important when you want to well in the other subjects you are learning in school, ranging from Math, Science, and Social Studies.

Vocabulary and grammar are intimately connected to both effective reading and writing skills, and these skills in turn are necessary for doing well in school.

WHO “OWNS” ENGLISH?

Did you know that English native speakers are among the minority of the world’s population of English speakers?

Perhaps even more astonishing is that today’s largest English speaking country is in fact China.

English no longer “belongs” to England, to America. Rather, English is the world’s language.

THE LOCALIZATION OF ENGLISH

There are an estimated 400 million people who speak English as a first language and 700 to 800 million people who speak English as a second language. And around a billion people speak English as a foreign language.

What happens to a language when it becomes everybody’s language? Speakers of English adapt the language to their local context.

In every country where English is spoken or read, hundreds or thousands of new words appeared, linked to politics, food and drink, folklore and plants.

SINGLISH

A language’s development reflects the power of those who speak it. For Singaporeans to be effective communicators, it is best to be able to interchangeably switch between Standard English and Singlish.

IT IS REWARDING TO LEARN ENGLISH WELL

English majors learn to be precise, systematic, and detail oriented as they work on their spelling, vocabulary and grammar.

Even though some linguistic concepts are initially difficult to grasp, the reward in terms of obtaining good grades and a subsequent high-paying career can make all the effort worth it.

LEARNING ENGLISH

Learning English is like any new skill. There is a learning curve, and the skill needs to be practiced and reinforced, in order for it to be effective.

Those of us who are born as right-brain thinkers tend to be better at creative, imaginative, passionate activities.

Then there are those of us who are left-brain thinkers, naturally adept at working with numbers, applying logical reasoning, and analytically solving problems.

Regardless of which category you fall into, the truth is that anyone can learn the basic principles of English and score well in your exams.

Do you find it difficult to score good marks in English? Does it often happen that you don’t get good marks in English even after putting in your best preparation efforts?

There is no need to be distressed because you are not alone. There are many students who find that English is difficult.

ENGLISH IS FUN, WHEN TAUGHT BY FUN AND EXPERIENCED ENGLISH TUTORS

Sure, studying English can be a challenge at times.

The grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary can be difficult, and just like any other subject, you need to study hard to do well.

But English can be an incredibly fun subject when you give it a chance.

When you do well in your English exams, you are building a strong foundation for your career options.

A world of exciting prospects awaits you.

EMPLOYERS’ REQUIREMENTS FOR JOBS THAT REQUIRE GOOD ENGLISH SKILLS

Employers are actively looking for university graduates who can adapt – and thrive – in this time of tremendous change and upheaval.

It is often observed that today’s graduates – unlike the graduates of a generation ago – should anticipate not a single position with one employer or in one industry, but rather many careers.

You will be well prepared for this future if, in your post-secondary years, you take advantage of the opportunity to become broadly educated, to learn to be flexible and to be a creative problem solver.

CAREER OPTIONS REQUIRING STRONG SKILLS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

For anyone with creativity, intelligence, and persistence, English will never fail to provide new and exciting challenges – and lots of fun!

In the following list of possible careers, an English major provides a strong foundation and may offer an edge over other individuals who lack a background in English.

Possible options include:

Content strategists
Content marketing managers
Editor
Lawyers
Public relations specialists

Social media manager
Technical writer
Web producers

The more able you are to synthesize your English knowledge into real-world problem solving, the better.

There’s no limit to what you can do with strong English language skills.

Only your effort and imagination will determine how far you take it!

Are you ready to take the first step toward a rewarding and satisfying career?

PRACTICAL USES OF ENGLISH

Even if you have no plans to specialize in English at university or polytechnic level, there are practical uses of English in our daily lives.

In Singapore, English is main language of instruction at school and it is used in our everyday lives at work or socially.

English is the language of the internet.

Fifty percent of internet content is in English. 

If you know English, you have access to information that may not otherwise be available.     

Access to English means greater access to the internet – and that means greater access to the world.

Chinese, the world’s most spoken language, comprises only 2.1 percent of the internet.

Spanish is the second most common language, and makes up just 4.8 percent of the internet. 

Hindi, the world’s fourth most common language after English, makes up only 0.1 percent of the internet.

Students who have a strong command of the English language usually also excel at other important subjects such as Math, History, Economics, Literature, General Paper and Science.

Some people use the reasoning that they are “not good at languages” to explain their reluctance to study English. But the language skills that are actually involved are rather basic.

To do well in English requires jumping in with both feet.

Having one foot in and one foot out doesn’t work.

At the beginning of the semester, regardless of your personal interests or dislikes, decide that you’re going to give English your best effort.

Do this and you’ll do well in your English exams.

We wish you all the best in your journey of learning and personal growth.

OTHER INTERESTING CAREER OPTIONS REQUIRING THE USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Good writing skills contribute significantly to almost any career.

Bottom line: Communicating well makes you an asset in almost any type of business.

Quality writing is incredibly valuable to hiring managers, and it’s rare.

Writing is the hard skill that managers most frequently found lacking in their applicants.

The soft skills that they wish they would see more often? Critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Some uncommon career options where strong English skills are useful include:

Create Artificial Intelligence – Everyone knows that all the hottest jobs are in Silicon Valley – and yes, English majors are in great demand there too.  After all, it was people who write very well that gave Siri and Cortana their vocabulary

Corporate Communications Director – The applause at the end of a great leader’s speech is usually because the Corporate Communications Director wrote an inspiring speech for that leader. A good writer can change minds, behaviors and attitudes

Become an Analyst – While many executives have marketing or business degrees, very few of them have experience with telling convincing stories. What English majors can do very well is take a list of statistics and figures and turn them into a compelling story that a business audience will want to read and will subsequently want to remember or take appropriate action on

Create the next Video Game that no one can resist. Creating a runway hit video game like Pokemon Go requires imaginative writers who can write a compelling storyline.
