Imagination
We encourage students to extend their classroom learning into creative and innovative applications. We believe by creating a space encouraging open expression can help students develop deeper interests into the subjects they are most passionate about.
Strengths
We take a strengths-based approach in coaching our students to help them build their confidence and personal identity. We believe by spotlighting student’s natural talents, we can help them identify their style of learning, tailor our teaching to suit their needs, and increase the efficiency of their learning in the classroom.
Time
All learning requires dedicated time and effort. Through patience and individualised lesson plans, iStudy tutors guide students to learn at a pace that gets the work done without overexerting pressure on students. We believe time management is just as important to long-term success as academic intelligence; each lesson is a practice on using time efficiently and wisely.
Understanding
Here at iStudy, “understanding” is a two-way stream. Our teaching approach emphasise on deep comprehension on subject material and concepts, rather than shallow memorisation of facts. Tutors are also trained to observe and identify each student’s unique needs to best guide them. “Understanding”, in a nutshell, is the core of our work with students and their goals.
Discipline
Through structured learning with set objectives and step-by-step planning, we create scaffolds for our students to reach their goals. In the process, students will learn to build their time management skills, perseverance, and the importance of discipline.
Yearning
We know, understand, and appreciate how you yearn for, information, knowledge and scholarship and our aim, intention and role is to satisfy every students personal desire to better themselves, to satiate their thirst for knowledge and answer and address the profound yearning that each student has to take on lifes challenge to climb ever higher and to summit.
