Homework stopped being a fight. The tutor explained it the way school does, and my child started working independently.

Questions parents ask
Common Questions, Answered
Can't find what you need? Our academic advisors are available in Singapore time.
Is Legal Studies offered in Singapore schools?+
It is offered by some schools and not others, and availability varies. We tutor whichever course your school runs, and support independent students.
Do you need it to study law?+
No. Law faculties do not require it. It is excellent preparation for legal reasoning, but nothing depends on having taken it.
Is there a lot of memorisation?+
Less than students expect. The assessed skill is applying rules to facts and justifying the outcome, which is a method rather than recall.
What kind of student suits it?+
One who enjoys argument and is comfortable being told the answer depends on the facts.
