GP Tuition

Broadening minds. Empowering lives.

While Economics Focus offers economics tuition for JC students, we also feature A Level programmes, like GP tuition by Generalpaper.com.sg. In this case, the classes are geared towards the preparation of A Level General Paper examination (8807). For many, General Paper may be perceived as an abstract subject that requires the application of knowledge in the current affairs. As such, our GP tuition programmes will eradicate the frictions that students will experience in their journey. In the process, students will appreciate the value of learning General Paper and how its knowledge can be used for many purposes, including personal development.

Content Enrichment and Broadening Perspectives

The mastery of A Level General Paper begins with the understanding of GP issues. During the GP tuition, students will engage in discussions with the tutor on various matters, contentious or not, such as the free speech debate, ethical concerns over eugenics, and the economic consequences of environmental degradation. By doing so, students can approach these topics from various viewpoints.

Another crucial aspect of General Paper involves the development of proficient essay writing techniques. As the Paper 1 (GP Essay) component carries 50% of the overall grade, it is imperative for students to undergo extensive class practice to acquire the necessary skillsets to read, think and write well. Students will build up skills, like introduction setting, paragraph development and use of rebuttals.

Benefits of the General Paper Tuition

Our GP tuition will nurture students to become proficient thinkers and writers, who can engage in in-depth and meaningful discussions on important issues.

We believe that students should develop a positive mindset, seen in terms of the resilience to deal with hardships. By doing so, the valuable experience gained in the process will be useful in their future endeavours, even after the A Level examinations.

A Level General Paper Syllabus (8807)

Be familiar with the exam requirements

The introduction of General Paper as a compulsory A Level subject for most students represents a major shift from the previous education stage. In contrast to O Level English (1128), General Paper emphasizes on the discussion of issues and application of content knowledge to argumentative essay writing. Therefore, our GP tuition will guide students through the study of many issues, such that they will develop the awareness and familiarity to tackle exam-type questions.

Recognise the significance of General Paper as a knowledge enrichment subject

Students who study General Paper will develop the maturity of thought as they engage in in-depth discussion of issues that they are unlikely to do so at their own free time. The knowledge and skills acquired from General Paper are valuable as students will develop keen observation abilities to analyse issues from multiple perspectives.

Anticipate the shifts in examination trends

In view of the changes to the way examination questions are set, our GP tutors have refined the teaching content to remind students of the significant aspects, such as the integration of topics for GP essays. In particular, students are strongly discouraged from ‘spotting topics’ as these questions will require students to approach the issues from multiple angles.
