Before joining TTT, I was consistently scoring Bs and struggled to figure out a way to break the ‘A’ barrier. Joining TTT allowed me to finally figure out what I lacked. At TTT, I received numerous summarised yet useful notes for all the components of the English paper. There were notes on argumentative writing, which included a rich vocabulary that helped to improve my language grade, as well as notes for ‘Unusual and Effective’ writing which helped my Paper 2 a lot.
At TTT, I was able to receive constant guidance from Mr Russell. He is a highly entertaining teacher and he often uses a variety of highly emotive words to describe his vivid life experiences. This helped to make the classroom more vibrant. Besides that, he is also a very passionate teacher who seeks to ensure that all of us can reach our maximum potential and excel in English. He is also a very patient teacher. He always takes the time to guide and train us to attempt the various questions and papers through teaching us skills of annotations, the different question types as well as key points that we should take note of. Thanks to him, I managed to improve from a B3 to an A1 in the span of 1 year!
Throughout my time at TTT, my favourite lessons were those on the oral and communication package. We would carry out mock oral practice for roughly a month straight. No doubt, through this package, I was able to feel more confident during my oral exam and was able to score well for my spoken interaction as well as reading aloud.
My favourite set of notes are the summary notes as personally, I had been failing my summary before joining TTT and was not able to find the problem. After being given the notes and doing many practices, my language use for summary and my ability to pinpoint the correct points had improved tremendously. This allowed me to score 13/15 for my summary during my end of year examinations. All the credit for this accomplishment belongs to TTT, especially Mr Russell as he was the one who was able to spot my flaws in English and teach me exactly how to score as high as possible for English. I am beyond grateful for Mr Russell.
Overall, I feel very lucky to have been able to find out about TTT through a flyer and joining TTT. I also feel thankful towards the staff here in TTT for guiding me and helping me with their utmost effort! Thank you TTT for helping me to achieve an A1 for O Level English!
