"The English language is a work in progress. Have fun with it."
English
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
Developing English skills is as much about developing confidence as it is in understanding the techniques needed to master the language and its peculiar nuances. The FRWRD philosophy is to develop students to have a strong command of both spoken and written English as well as help students identify their interests in reading for pleasure.
Some of the key areas we develop:
- Spelling, vocabulary, grammar and linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language
- Using literary devices, dynamic vocabulary and correct structure to make writing more effective
- The ability to read easily, fluently and with good understanding
- The art of demonstrating both literal and inferential comprehension of texts through Point, Evidence, Explanation (PEE) answers
"Math gives us hope that every problem has a solution"
Maths
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
Mathematical reasoning and mental strategies are the two components that underpin Mathematical success. The FRWRD philosophy is to teach our students to understand ‘why’ a method works, not just ‘how’ to apply it.
Some of the key areas we develop:
- Conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately
- Following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations
- Developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
- Breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions
"Nothing is impossible - the word itself says I'm Possible"
Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning - CAT
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning exams (Cognitive Ability Tests) are now used in nearly all school entrance exams. FRWRD’s students are taught to use effective deductive reasoning to solve Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning puzzles with an efficient, organised approach to each question. The skills developed not only help the students score well in the exam but assist with general thinking skills that can be applied in day to day life.
Some of the key areas we focus on:
- Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning.
- CAT mock tests to help understand real time exam situations
- Employ effective exam techniques and time management skills
"The science of today is the technology of tomorrow"
General Science
British National & IB Curriculum
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
General science education gives us an understanding of essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. The FRWRD philosophy is to develop students across foundational knowledge, concepts, scientific tests and processes needed for investigation and scientific reasoning. We encourage our students to recognise the power of rational explanation.
Some of the key areas we develop:
- Scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding, as well as develop their interest in the fields of physics, chemistry and biology
- Techniques to evaluate and understand the nature, processes and methods of science that can establish the parameters about science and how it fits in the world around them
- How to develop strategies as well as scientific vocabulary to articulate scientific concepts clearly and precisely.
"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body"
Phonics / Guided Reading
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
Through Guided Reading lessons, students develop skills that help them read independently and fluently, ensuring that the correct phonic, context and grammatical cues are being applied. FRWRD’s philosophy is to ensure that students not only decode the text accurately but also internalise the information at the same time. By doing this, students will have the insight and confidence to discus the key events and ideas of the text.
Some of the key areas we develop:
- We help students use a combination of cues to decode text
- Equip them with the awareness, strategies and skills to ‘self correct’
- Enable them to identify the right strategy to use to regain meaning when it is lost or when they encounter unknown vocabulary
"I saw that bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of an imperfect education"
Handwriting
1-to-1, 2-to-1 & 5-to-1 lesson formats
Dynamic writing is redundant if it can’t be read. Handwriting should be neat and legible and for many students this can be challenging. At FRWRD we correct bad habits by identifying what makes a student’s penmanship either untidy or laboured. Good handwriting allows children to express their thoughts efficiently and effectively through the written word, developing self-confidence and self-esteem.
Some of the key areas we focus on:
- Correct letter formation
- Correct letter size
- Correct slope
