Why Choose AWS

Goal Setting

At AWS, we partner with students to help them achieve their best. Whether it’s an A1 or B3 grade, progress is what matters. We meet students where they are and coach them towards their goals. From the start, we help set targets and guide them to reach them.

Dedicated team of teachers

Our teachers are dynamic with years of experience. They tutor students because they care and are approachable for consultations, especially during exams. Class chat groups allow students to ask questions anytime.

Pre and Post-exam Consultation

Students are always able to make an appointment with their teachers to seek additional consultation to go through their exam papers.

Exam Prep Lessons

Grades matter for school admissions. We offer exam-oriented lessons and mock tests to help students revise and practice under exam conditions. Feedback on marked scripts improves performance.

Organised content & notes provided

Who says English ‘cannot be studied’? We debunk that myth with organized notes that help students ace exams. Bite-size, curated notes are a lifeline during exam time, designed for revision and last-minute cramming.

Current Affairs

Stay updated with the latest news for your essays! Current affairs make a real impact. Impress markers with fresh examples. We curate current events for classes and help students interpret everything from politics to K-pop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Make up the lesson during the week. Students who are unable to make the lesson during that week, but are able to attend another lesson time slot may do so for that week. Students should inform the Admin or teacher to ensure there is sufficient vacancy in the class. Students should not turn up without informing the Admin or Teacher as the class could be full.
End of Term Replacement Class (RC) — Online Students could also sign up for the regular replacement class held online at the end of the term cycle. This is meant for students who missed their regular lessons, and would like to make up the lesson hours. The RC is not a direct replacement for the weekly lesson but would be a stand-alone lesson on its own. Students should approach their tutor to obtain the necessary notes or material for the lesson they missed.

You can either call the centre to find out the next RC dates and inform the Admin, or wait for the announcement by your tutor or the Admin for the RC sign up. Sign up to indicate you would be attending and a Zoom Link and the necessary handouts would be sent to you.
