What makes Grade Builder unique? |
| |
|
| |
At Grade Builder, we focus on giving our students individual attention so that they
can flourish under the watchful care of our tutors. Our class size is deliberately kept
small in order to facilitate this. We also believe that small class sizes would
encourage students to ask questions and engage in class discussions more readily,
which would in turn build up their confidence and help them to be more quick
thinking and articulate.
Our unique Working Hard and Working Smart philosophy – which comprises studying
and examination techniques – is also drilled into our
students so as to give them an
edge over their peers. |

How much is the registration fee and deposit? |
| |
|
| |
A registration fee of $10 and a refundable deposit $50 is required upon sign-up.
The deposit is used to offset the fees for the student’s last month of tuition with us.
One month’s notice must be given to the centre or the deposit will be forfeited. The
purpose of the deposit is to ensure that students will inform us when they no longer
wish to continue, so that we may notify students on the waiting list of any vacancies
as soon as possible. |

What are the qualifications of the tutors? |
| |
|
| |
Tutors vary in qualifications from graduates to PhDs. In addition to ensuring that our
tutors are well qualified, we enforce strict screening to uphold the quality of our
teachers. All of our tutors are required to have in-depth knowledge about the
syllabus and be professional trained in the subject that he/she is teaching. Our JC
tutors are all NIE trained, current school tutors, with a minimum experience of two
years. |
