Studying Hard? Start Studying Smart.

“Honestly, getting my son to study was always a struggle. Every day we had to remind him to do his homework and stop using his phone. Sometimes I felt like I was the one taking the exams instead of him haha. After attending the program, he started making his own revision schedule. Of course we still need to remind him sometimes but at least he's taking more responsibility now. Really happy to see this change.”

“Last time I just kept reading my notes before exams because I thought the more I read the more I would remember. But during the exam I still couldn't recall some of the things I studied. I learnt about active recall and spaced repetition during the program and realised I've been studying the wrong way. Now I use flashcards and test myself instead of just reading. It actually helps me remember better.”

“My daughter used to spend so much time studying but her results didn't really reflect the effort she put in. I realised she was just reading and highlighting her notes without actually remembering much. After the program, she started using flashcards and testing herself instead. She told me studying feels more manageable now. I think these are really important skills especially when they enter secondary school.”

“I always tell myself I'll study after gaming but somehow I end up playing for a few hours. Then when exams are coming I start panicking because there's so much to revise. The program taught me how to plan my time and break my revision into smaller tasks. I still play games lah but at least now I try to finish my work first.”

“My boy is always on his iPad. Every time I ask him to do his homework he'll say later and end up rushing everything at night. We tried taking away his screen time but it always ended in arguments. What I liked about this program is that it helped him understand why he needs to manage his own time. He's now trying to finish his work before playing games. Still got room for improvement but definitely a good start.”

“When I entered Sec 1 I didn't know how to study for so many subjects. Especially Science because there was so much content to remember. I used to copy almost everything from the slides and my notes became super long. After learning how to take notes properly and use flowcharts, it's much easier to understand what I'm studying. I don't feel so lost when revising now.”

“My son was really struggling to cope with the workload in Sec 3. So many subjects and tests coming up one after another. He would only start studying a few days before the exams and then complain that there's not enough time. We realised that tuition alone wasn't going to solve this problem. He needed to learn how to plan and study independently. The program gave him a better idea of how to organise his revision and manage his time. Wish we had started this earlier.”

“I used to get very stressed when there was a lot of homework and revision to do. Sometimes I didn't even know where to start so I would just procrastinate. I also felt quite discouraged when my friends scored better than me. The program taught me how to plan my work and set small goals. Now I try to focus on improving myself instead of always comparing with others.”

“My daughter gets very upset whenever she doesn't do well for a test. She would keep saying she's not smart enough and sometimes just give up before even trying. I wanted her to understand that results don't define her. I'm glad the program also focuses on confidence and mindset instead of just studying. She's slowly becoming more willing to try difficult questions and doesn't get discouraged as easily. That's more important to me than just getting good grades.”
