It is common in Mont Kiara's international classrooms where English is genuinely the everyday language rather than a school subject. Even fluent speakers, though, can find the reading questions slippery, because the paper rewards writing about how a text works, not simply understanding it.
For a Garden International or Mont'Kiara International student who talks and reads easily but loses marks on analysis, this is exactly the gap to close. Our team of experienced English teachers takes that on one-to-one and online, so a Year 10 student in a Solaris Dutamas apartment can work on a writer's craft without an evening drive.
What we cover
Our teachers concentrate on the three things First Language English asks for. In reading, we train students to move past what a passage says and write about how the writer achieves an effect, word choice, imagery, structure and tone, with evidence chosen tightly. In directed writing, we practise reshaping source material into a new form and audience, holding purpose and register steady throughout.
For composition, we develop both descriptive and narrative pieces, building a bank of settings, openings and controlled endings a student can draw on under pressure. Throughout, we push for precise vocabulary, varied sentences and clean accuracy. We work to the wording of your board's syllabus rather than any remembered rule.
Lessons are online, one-to-one and timetabled around school. The first step is a paid one-hour trial.
