How does this help my child?
At English Ninjas, we believe that structured practice makes progress. With this in mind, our Intensive Revision Workshops are designed as short term support for students who want or need help in specific areas of concern.
Students will benefit from attention to skills that help them in the various components and an increased awareness of how they can improve their answering technique.
These workshops are meant to supplement students' revision and do not take the place of regular revision and practice.
NOTE:
You may choose a specific area that your child needs more support in, or take up all 3 workshops.
Workshop mode:
In-person or Remote via Zoom
Please note that our P5 and P6 Intensive Revision workshops are HYBRID which means that you may choose to attend in-person OR remote via Zoom.
However, once you have decided on an attendance mode (in-person OR remote), you will only be allowed to change this for medical reasons.
If you are choosing remote lesson, please note that your child will need to be in a quiet space, have access to Zoom, Google Docs and preferably a laptop to get the most out of the workshop(s).
