Lower Secondary English Tuition | Think. Write Learning Centre

Lay the groundwork for success with our lower secondary English programmes

Build key skills for a confident start in secondary school English

At Think. Write, we believe that building a good foundation is an important step to success. Our lower secondary English programme helps students build a strong understanding of the English language by developing critical thinking and writing skills through structured practice.

We focus on a step-by-step approach—thinking clearly, writing effectively, and applying key techniques—to ensure students are well-prepared for their Secondary 1 and 2 examinations, and to prepare them for the next steps.

These are some of the foundational skills that we focus on to help every student with building a strong foundation:

  • Vocabulary for composition and comprehension
  • Grammar for editing and composition writing
  • Handling inferential questions
  • Essay genres and structures, including different uses of language
  • Forming claims and opinions (both written and oral formats)
