[Sec 1 to Sec 4] Parents, as the new school year begins, did you know the biggest mistake your child is making for their English Paper 1…

Has nothing to do with reading more, writing more, or even learning Essay Writing techniques?

It’s something I discovered that is rarely talked about – yet addressing it early in the year has helped my students transform their Paper 1 scores and jump by 1–2 grades almost immediately…

Hi parents, Teacher Grace here, creator of an award-winning curriculum, and author of 9 Primary & Secondary English Assessment Books with over 50,000+ copies sold.

My English Exam Techniques are known by parents to be the most effective English techniques to help Sec 1-4 students achieve their A1-A2 fast.

⭐ My work and unique teaching approach have been featured on Channel 5’s Talking Point, CNA938, The Straits Times, Lian He Zao Bao, Parents’ World, Esquire Magazine plus others.

Most parents don’t know this, but the biggest mistake your child is making is they choose to write Argumentative Essays during exams…

Which is the hardest question choice to score for in their English Paper 1! 😲

The easiest and most sure way to score an A1 is by writing Personal Recount Essays.

Just this one simple decision can make or break their English results.

The problem is, that most students are scared to write Personal Recounts because:

😟 They feel it is childish to write in Secondary School

😟 They’re not confident in writing stories that are not boring or cliche

😟 They’re worried they will go off-topic because Personal Recount is more “free-flow”

😟 They lack the advanced vocabulary needed to score well in the 20-mark language component

😟 They believe Argumentative Essays are easier to answer as they can relate to the question, which are typically more structured.

However, students overlook the fact that Argumentative Essays require them to form solid arguments, provide convincing evidence, and maintain logical coherence.

Which is very hard to do…

Instead, simply changing the type of essay they write is the easiest and fastest way to help your Sec 1-4 child improve their English grades in a short period…

That’s because:

😁 Personal Recounts are easier to score as they offer a lot of flexibility in what your child can write

😁 All they need to do is describe an experience they went through (or seen online/in the news)

😁 They can easily score high marks provided they can their thoughts and ideas effectively, alongside strong vocabulary

😁 There are many easy-to-follow frameworks that help them write compelling Personal Recounts that impress exam markers

And this is exactly what I do for your child in our upcoming bootcamp.
