Has it been difficult for you to motivate your child to study during the school holidays? It may be an uphill task for parents to get your child to study during the holidays but it is indeed a perfect time for students to catch up or improve on topics already learnt.
Our June Tuition Programme is conducted both indoor and outdoor. We infuse the learning element beyond the classroom.
June Tuition Programme
Primary 3 - 6
 Your child will be a participant in the ‘Amazing Race’ educational tour as we bring them to places like Sentosa, Botanical Gardens, Singapore Zoo and etc. These venues are not for sole purpose of sightseeing, but for experiential learning as they are being challenged with mind-boggling English, Maths & Science questions at the various checkpoints. It will test their understanding of the topics learnt in the 1st Semester. They will be both intrigued and elated to apply what they have learnt.
After the outdoor programme, we shall bring knowledge to MERCU’s doorsteps where we unfold new topics to your child through various indoor classroom activities.
Secondary 1 - 2
An exciting islandwide Amazing Race awaits in June if your child takes 2 or more subjects. The race is not all fun and play. It incorporates National Education and students will be tasked to complete varied challenges related to English, Maths and Science. Beginning June 2011, MERCU would be organising a full day workshop for your child on Self Motivation, Examination Preparation and Career Planning & Guidance.

We encourage both parents and tutors to play an active role in the children’s academic development. Parents may book a date with the tutors at any point during the year to know more about the development of their child. This is a great opportunity for parents and tutors to update and discuss on ways to improve on the child’s weakness. Tutors on the other hand are obliged to call up parents for a meet up to explain their observation of the child and recommend ways for improvement to be monitored by parents.
