Tutoring Approach:

Primary school level: helping students catching up their academic studies first; keeping balance of their listening, reading, writing, and speaking abilities; paying attention to basic grammatical structures and then enhancing their comprehension abilities; practising the language or reviewing the subjects through games, such as hang-man or other association games.

Secondary school level: focusing on students' need for the studies, preparing them for different tests, assignments, or fundamental researches and the relevant skills; using current issues and events to illustrate and associate academic studies to daily life; develop students' ability of critical thinking.

University and adult level: mapping students' different levels and needs, such business or academic use, of the language or subject; using local cultural activities or events to make student sharpen their languages, practice their reading and writing skills, and learn different argument of the subjects.

The teaching methods will also be accustomed to students' different levels of abilities of the language or subjects despite their ages or education levels.
