JUNIOR HIGH TUTORING
Our Junior High Tutoring Program is designed to guide students through one of the most critical academic stages—where strong foundations, disciplined study habits, and early exam awareness create the greatest long-term impact. At this level, students begin transitioning from basic content mastery to more complex problem-solving, critical reasoning, and structured writing.
We provide intensive academic support, targeted remediation, and strategic exam preparation to ensure students are fully prepared for BJC exams in Grade 9 and competitive PSAT readiness in Grades 7–9.
BJC and PSAT
Early BJC Preparation (Grades 7–9)
We take a multi-year approach that builds exam confidence and academic fluency long before students sit the BJC in Grade 9.
Students learn:
-
How to interpret exam questions correctly
-
How to apply content knowledge to structured responses
-
How to write clearly, concisely, and with evidence
-
How to manage time in multi-question exam formats
-
How to answer past-paper questions strategically
​
​
Key BJC Preparation Features:
✔ Weekly past paper drills
✔ Monthly timed assessments
✔ Mastery tracking by topic
✔ Exam-writing strategies
✔ Parent progress updates each term
This ensures students do not cram last-minute—they grow steadily, confidently, and consistently over two to three years.

​
Build the skills early for high PSAT and SAT performance.
While the official PSAT/NMSQT is for Grade 10–11, early exposure dramatically improves a student’s score trajectory. Our PSAT readiness track introduces Junior High students to rigor beyond their grade level.
