IMPORTANCE OF HIRING QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED SOCIAL STUDIES TUTORS

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

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

TRUST ONLY COMPETENT AND EXPERIENCED SOCIAL STUDIES 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 SOCIAL STUDIES 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 ACCOUNTING 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 ACCOUNTING 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 Social Studies, and how they sometimes find it hard to catch up with what is taught in class.

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

REDUCE THE RISK THAT YOU ARE UNDER-PREPARED FOR EXAMS

Your experienced Social Studies 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 Social Studies teacher in school has not taught the answers to the exams, that your experienced Social Studies 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 SOCIAL STUDIES TUTORS

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

ANSWER DIFFICULT SOCIAL STUDIES QUESTIONS – CORRECTLY

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

It is easy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL STUDIES

The theme of “Being Rooted and Living Global” runs through the entire Social Studies syllabus.

Social Studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities – to promote civic competence.

In many countries – Singapore included – the Social Studies content that is taught in schools provides coordinated and systematic knowledge. Globally, Social Studies draws upon disciplines that include anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences.

MAIN GOALS OF THE SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM

The primary purpose of Social Studies is to help young people develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the public good as citizens of a culturally diverse, democratic society in an interdependent world.

The Upper Secondary Social Studies syllabus in Singapore adopts a thematic approach for the discussion of issues that nations are concerned with.

These issues are presented in the six themes. They are:

• Singapore as a Nation in the World
• Understanding Governance
• Conflict and Harmony in Multi-ethnic Societies
• Managing International Relations
• Sustaining Economic Development
• Facing Challenges and Change

Social Studies – at primary and secondary school levels – helps students to understand the interconnectedness of Singapore and the world they live in, and to appreciate the complexities of the human experience.

Students explore the complex tensions that characterise issues happening around the world and in Singapore.

Their learning starts at primary level and is explored in greater breadth and depth at the secondary level.

UPPER SECONDARY SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM

Upper Secondary Social Studies focuses on the explicit teaching of thinking skills to assess and manage real-life information in meaningful ways.

It also aims to build a deep sense of rootedness to the nation. The subject is cross-disciplinary and combines Geography, History, Sociology, Political Science and Economics.

NEEDED IN YOUR ESSAYS – ARGUMENTATIVE WRITING SKILLS

One of the benefits of studying Social Studies at secondary school level is that it helps you with your argumentative writing. This skill is essential when you take General Paper in junior college, or when you write papers at polytechnic and university levels.

The Social Studies’ curriculum also encourages you to be analytical about sources, and the importance of identifying the biasness of the writer(s).

SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

Source-based questions help us develop our critical thinking skills and help us connect different fields of knowledge.

This will give us an advantage when competing against many other people who have the same degree and attending the same important job interviews.

BENEFITS OF MASTERING SOCIAL STUDIES KNOWLEDGE

People who have “soft skills” like communication, negotiation, listening, writing – and a number of other skills related to the humanities, social studies and the Arts – will get promoted more quickly than those who do not.

Many STEM programmes at university are now moving towards STEAM (STEM plus the Arts).

UNDERSTAND THE WORLD

Social Studies help us understand the current issues that the world, Singapore and Singaporeans are facing. It helps us understand both sides of the story, and makes us more intellectually mature.

Social Studies helps us master relevant factual knowledge; select, organize and apply the concepts; and make judgements, recommendations and decisions.

You will also be taught how to draw inferences from given information, evaluate and analyze evidence, distinguish between fact, opinion and judgement, as well as compare and contrast different views.

Even though some 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 SOCIAL STUDIES

Learning Social Studies 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, and we are 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 Social Studies and score well in your exams.

Do you find it difficult to score good marks in Social Studies?

Does it often happen that you don’t get good marks in Social Studies 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 Social Studies is difficult.

SOCIAL STUDIES IS FUN, WHEN TAUGHT BY FUN AND EXPERIENCED SOCIAL STUDIES TUTORS

Sure, studying Social Studies can be a challenge at times. The events and analysis can be difficult. And just like any other subject, you need to study hard to do well.

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

The world today provides a big platform for students who understand the impacts of the latest global economic and political developments.

A PROMISING CAREER THAT USE THE KNOWLEDGE WE GAIN FROM SOCIAL STUDIES

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

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

Possible options include:

Aging Studies

PRACTICAL USES OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

“When am I ever going to use this?”

Even if you have no plans to specialize in the Social Sciences at university or polytechnic level, there are practical uses of general knowledge and analytical skills in our daily lives.

Today, students have a wide variety of information options — including television, radio, the Internet, and print sources such as newspapers and magazines.

When we know how to identify credible information sources, we will better understand and make informed decisions about civic issues like healthcare, crime, foreign policy and history that affect us and our families.

This knowledge enables the students to understand how the world and different societies have evolved, the important events that have occurred in the past, enduring ideas and eminent personalities that have created an impact and affected the lives of people both locally and globally.

It also helps students to understand how different societies are structured, managed and governed. This in turn helps students to understand their place in the world.

Social Studies is more than a part of the school curriculum.

It prepares students as the citizens of tomorrow by introducing them to the Constitution, society, culture, politics and economics of Singapore, as well as the matters around the world.

Besides that, the subject helps them to get relevant knowledge and understanding to deal with the real-world issues that concern their lives.

Social Studies encourages students to engage in policy issues instead of just relying on the government to achieve desired outcomes.

In this digital age of widespread both real and fake news, the skills they learn in Social Studies enable them to discern the credibility of the information they receive.

The thinking skills are highly relevant in a workplace and will help them to tackle challenges posed by an uncertain future. 

To do well in Social Studies 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 Social Studies your best effort.

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

We know that you want to hire only the best Social Studies tutors, and we are here to provide you only the best.

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

OTHER INTERESTING CAREER OPTIONS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Some uncommon career options include:

Economists – Economists gather and interpret economic data. Economists work heavily with numerical data, financial statements, and fiscal reports. Economists work at banks and financial institutions, multinational companies, insurance firms, brokerage houses and government agencies

Social Worker – Social workers provide social welfare services to improve the lives of others

International Affairs Specialist – They include foreign service officers, intelligence analysts, political risk analysts and might work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the United Nations, the World Bank, or the International Monetary Fund

Public Administration Officer – They manage a wide range of government organizations or non-profit organizations and statutory boards.  They can be policy researchers, management analysts or human resource specialists

Human Resource Specialists – They analyze job roles and assess the suitability of candidates for jobs. Interviewing skills learned by sociology majors are essential for this evaluation

Lawyers – Lawyers use critical thinking and analytical skills to research and litigate their cases. Legal practice areas include family law, corporate law, constitutional law and transnational law. Lawyers draw on research and writing skills to carry out their work. They must gather facts and evidence to support a thesis just as Social Science majors do with their position papers. Lawyers must present their findings in a compelling manner in order to convince a judge, jury or opposing attorney of their position. This is similar to presentations in your Social Studies classes

Market Research Analysts – Market research analysts test products and services, and they evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns to consumers based on gender, age, home address and disposable income. Market researchers employ statistical methods mastered by sociology majors to analyze data.

Some people use the reasoning that they are “not good at analysis” to explain their reluctance to study Social Studies. But the analysis that is actually involved is rather basic.

It’s clear that jobs for Social Studies majors are abundantly available across a wide range of industries.

In addition, the more a Social Studies major can link their theoretical studies to real-world applications, the better they will be able to apply such knowledge once they start work.

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

As you can see, there’s no limit to what you can do with a Social Science degree.

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?
