Why choose email learning?

1)   Email Composition and Comprehension learning actively encourages school learning

Students learn in many ways, such as through reading, listening and doing. In fact all of us learn in these ways too.

The primary and most important way students learn in school is by reading. That is why reading is actively encouraged by the Ministry of Education even before Kindergarten so that children can gain the knowledge they need in Kindergarten and Primary school, as soon as possible. In fact, a child who can read well can learn a lot of other things by himself or herself; in time he will become an independent learner. A child who cannot read well, continuously depends on teachers, parents and tutors.

This is also why the love of reading is encouraged by schools and the Ministry of Education throughout Primary school. (Acquiring knowledge by reading is expected from all students in Secondary, Junior College, Polytechnic and University.) If we look at world leaders (political as well as industrial), and especially at our own leaders, one thing becomes clear: they all were or are avid readers. Even some industrial leaders in the past who could not read, hired people to read to them, or to read on their behalf and advise them.

In schools, students learn and complete their assignments and exams by:

a) reading what the teacher writes on the board

b) listening to the teacher

c) taking down notes and reading their notes

d) reading instructions for their homework

e) reading their completed assignments for corrections

f) reading their lessons and textbooks and

g) reading their exam papers

Our students do the same. They learn by reading and doing their assignments; moreover they get the experienced guidance and motivation of our expert and caring teacher, Mr K Rajamanikam (Raja).

Students just read the lessons (which is like 'listening' to the teacher) containing clear and straightforward explanations and examples, that even our P1 students can follow. Then they complete the assignments and send the assignments in for marking. All guidance is given in the lessons, and by the teacher. No parent input is required.

Students (and parents) can email the teacher if they have any questions, but so far no one has found the need to do this. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the lessons are written such a clear and simple manner that even our Primary 1 students find them easy to understand.

We have taught hundreds of students from Primary 1 to 'A' Level to score higher marks (with most of them scoring 'As' or 'A*s') in this way. We are, therefore, very confident your child will benefit in the same way.

2)   We guarantee that students will score higher marks or we will refund the full fees.

How are we able to do this? In three ways:

a)    Complete courses - both foundational and advanced techniques Many students are unable to score higher marks because their foundation is weak and incomplete. We provide foundational and advanced techniques to complete students’ knowledge, so students are able to score higher marks every time.

b)       A quicker way to master Composition Writing and Comprehension with a step-by-step method Each lesson is designed to build on skills learnt and knowledge gained in the previous lesson. This enables students to grasp all the important aspects of the subject immediately and quickly.

c)       Weak and average students become above average or top students When students do not answer satisfactorily, we give guidance and hints on how to correct their answers and grammatical errors. Students redo their work and send them in for remarking. (Teachers in classrooms do not have the time to train students this way. Traditional tuition also does not trained students this way because the time and cost involved would be formidable. We have the time to do this, and at an affordable fee; because we conduct the course by email.) Students also develop confidence in answering questions in the exams.

3)   The courses have been developed and are taught by our qualified and expert principal teacher, K Rajamanikam, (Raja) who has forty years experience as an educationist. He has also written over 60 English Educational Supplementary Books, many of them available at Popular, including three Composition Writing Books for Primary 4, 5 and 6 students, which were published under TriLife Communications. Read more about him here.

4)   Raja the teacher, loves writing Compositions and essays and he transfers that love of writing to our students, so that they too come to love and enjoy writing.

5)   Unlike classroom teaching where students have to keep up with the pace of learning set by the teacher, who is trying to complete a fixed syllabus in a limited time; Raja, can lavish on each student as much time as the student needs in order to understand and complete each lesson successfully. That is why many students in schools need remedial lessons. Our courses will do away with the need for remedial classes as our step-by-step method of teaching ensures the students master the lessons in the shortest time possible and at a pace that is comfortable for them.

6)   Raja is able to motivate students to excel. He does this by praising students’ strengths and encouraging students to improve in their weak areas.

7)   The students receives all lessons by email; there is no need to travel to and from classes. This leaves students more time to master the lessons thoroughly at home or at any place they wish, and even leave them time for other activities.

8)   Students can choose to complete their lessons and assignments when it is convenient for them to do so, rather then at fixed times and days as in tuition and classroom teaching. This gives students the freedom to decide on the most suitable time and day during the week for completing their lessons and assignments. All we insist on is that every student completes one assignment per course per week.

9)   Setting a schedule for reading the lessons and completing the assignments weekly also empowers students to develop discipline and responsibility – which are valuable traits, especially in higher levels of learning. This can also save parents the trouble of ‘chasing’ their children to complete their school work on time.

10)                As reading is the main way students learn, students’ reading and comprehension abilities improve. This in turn, improves their reading and comprehension abilities in other subjects.

11)                Confidence gained in being able to answer questions in the exams correctly spills over into other areas: students become more confident about themselves in general.
