Tuition classes at Hess Academy are designed with an exam-focused approach. We break down the material students learn in school into manageable segments and teach them how to effectively apply this knowledge to exam questions. Our answering techniques are carefully crafted to be consistent and replicable, enabling students to apply them confidently, regardless of how a question is phrased. Condensed notes and model answers are also provided to support revision and reinforce learning beyond the classroom.

Condensed notes, practice questions and model answers are provided for each class. We do not use assessment books. All our learning materials are carefully crafted by the team at Hess Academy, consisting exclusively of the most experienced MOE teachers. Our notes are designed to challenge your child’s critical thinking while guiding them to formulate answers using structured techniques. They provide concise summaries of key concepts taught in class, making it easy to review and focus on the most important points during revision.

Our curriculum is designed to cater to students with varying levels of proficiency. Here's how: Tailored Instruction: We recognize that each student has unique strengths and areas for improvement. Our instructors tailor their teaching methods to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring personalized learning experiences. Extra practices and consultations are also provided where necessary Comprehensive Learning Materials: We provide comprehensive learning materials that streamline learning. Regardless of your proficiency, our worksheets and curriculum focus on techniques that are essential to exam success. Advanced students are given higher order questions to stretch their ability, while other students will drill on essential exam questions, to ensure consistent performance in tests and major exams. Termly Assessments: All students complete a term assessment that is crafted in-house. This allows us to gauge students' ability to perform under exam conditions and monitor their progress. Feedback is given regularly and we adjust our teaching strategies to meet every student's needs. This ensures that all students are continuously supported and challenged appropriately.

Yes, there are some key differences between our holiday workshops and weekly classes, although both focus on teaching effective answering techniques. Content and Depth: While our holiday workshops and weekly classes both teach answering techniques, the weekly classes cover a wider range of question types and allow us to explore each question in greater depth. Students gain a holistic and comprehensive overview of exam requirements and the systematic approach to meet marking points. This translates into sustainable improvements. Schedule Flexibility: Holiday workshops are ideal for students who may not have the time to commit to weekly lessons. They provide a concentrated opportunity to sharpen exam skills and strategies in a shorter time frame. Consistency and Practice: Consistent practice is crucial for developing good habits. Our weekly classes offer regular practice sessions, helping students build and reinforce their skills over time. On the other hand, workshops are great for quickly picking up answering techniques, especially for students who might be unfamiliar with them.
