Before The Learning Board, I scored less than 60. Unlike school, The Learning Board lessons are taught in a fun way. We created useful concepts maps together. By the next examination, I improved by 15 marks.

Success Story

XAVIER TAN, PRIMARY 6

Xavier was a 12 years old boy preparing for his PSLE. He was struggling to express himself clearly and had little confidence in his writing.

Within 4 months, his teacher from The Learning Board's tuition programme guided Xavier to raise questions and discuss his ideas actively. Classroom interaction helped him to broaden his knowledge and overcome his shyness. As a result, his grade improved from C to A.
