TTT has helped me improve and build my self confidence towards the subject as I have always been stressed about English after receiving disappointing grades in secondary 2. The lessons I had with Ms Janice were fruitful and engaging as Ms Janice was a very bright and fun teacher who provided great feedback on our work after reviewing our submissions.

One aspect of English I felt that TTT had greatly helped me improve on was oral. Especially with new aspects like planned response being included into the oral examination, the limited time for planning and finding ways to engage the oral examiner proved to be a challenge for me. In the various lessons catered to helping students in their oral exams, we were given practices that reflected the actual exam and topics related to a broader context rather than what we were usually used to. This challenged our critical thinking and organising skills in structuring a better answer for the planned response. As a result, my oral results greatly improved from the usual 19/30 to 24/30.

The skills I have learnt have also strengthened my ability to express my perspective in discussions and communicate with others more effectively. I am delighted to have secured an A for O level English.
