Our center’s curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of international students from Chinese educational and cultural backgrounds, ensuring satisfaction for parents.

Students: Over 90% of our students come from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, with additional representation from Southeast Asian Chinese students. This particular student demographic highly values and readily embraces our center’s focus on quantity-based, efficient teaching methods, emphasising extensive practice and memorisation.

Teachers: Over half of our teachers at the centre hold prestigious scholarships from renowned institutions, with educational backgrounds spanning China and Singapore. We emphasise that our teaching team is fully committed to understanding both Chinese culture and the needs of our clients—a characteristic evident from the backgrounds outlined in their profiles. Our teachers possess a deep and comprehensive understanding of the learning weaknesses and habits of Chinese students. They excel in tailoring teaching methods and curriculum design to meet student needs and imparting effective study techniques suited to individual learners. With their high teaching efficiency and dedication, students not only enjoy a positive learning experience but also achieve remarkable improvements in their academic performance, often with less effort.

Our center’s curriculum is tailored to prepare students for a range of popular local examinations, focusing on traditional exam-based education. Our main aim is to help students achieve the highest possible exam scores in a limited time frame.

Exam Preparation: Miles Education’s system integrates teaching philosophies from both China and Singapore. We focus on explaining question patterns, answering techniques, and study methods, while also emphasising the cultivation of students’ solid foundational knowledge through supervision and ample practice. This dual teaching and supervision approach combines instruction with practice, enabling students to rapidly improve their academic performance in a short period.

Homework: In one-to-one sessions, group classes, physical classrooms, or online learning, each session includes assignments for students to practise and review, reinforcing learned material and emphasising knowledge retention. Assignments are held to specific quality standards, requiring completion within a set timeframe and achieving accuracy levels that meet these standards. This approach enhances students’ abilities and boosts learning efficiency. For example, in English classes, students may complete vocabulary dictation, spelling, and sentence construction activities. Different class levels have specific memorisation targets and accuracy thresholds: the AEIS Foundation class requires students to learn 30 words per lesson with an accuracy rate of over 80%, while the Elementary and Intermediate classes have higher memorisation targets and accuracy requirements.

Expanding upon diligently completed assignments, each lesson is conducted with thorough preparation by students. Teachers facilitate efficient explanations, checks, and discussions during class to ensure teaching effectiveness. This approach eliminates the inefficient learning method of spending excessive class time practising questions without subsequent self-study and review by students after class.

Techniques: Teachers focus on dissecting methods, summarising patterns, and imparting exam strategies, equipping students to apply knowledge flexibly. For instance, they categorise example problems by chapter in mathematics, simplifying concepts to ensure students grasp patterns and adhere to correct answer criteria for consistent scores. Similarly, teachers contextualise essays in English, providing standard formats and templates for introductions and conclusions to ensure high exam performance.

Bilingual Education: For newly arrived international students, their English listening and speaking skills often pose challenges to efficient learning. To address this, our initial courses, such as AEIS Preparatory and International School Entrance Exam Courses, incorporate bilingual teaching tailored to students’ abilities. This approach aims to enhance learning efficiency and test scores in a short timeframe. Many students feel distressed and anxious as they struggle to comprehend, ask questions, or engage in school or tuition classes due to a severe lack of basic vocabulary and understanding of grammar. Transitioning to full English instruction demands a significant time investment. However, time is precious for international students. Miles’ bilingual teaching focuses primarily on fundamental concepts like vocabulary and grammar explanations, helping students acquire essential skills swiftly. This enables them to adapt quickly to subsequent advanced English instruction.

Full English Education: Students seeking full English education can access tailored course arrangements such as PSLE or O Level Top School Sprint courses, as well as IGCSE or International School academic subject tutoring for grades 1-12. Bilingual education places significant demands on teachers, particularly local teachers who need extensive training in Chinese to meet teaching standards. Conversely, full English education highlights the strengths of our teachers.

Level-Based Grouping: Unlike many institutions that rely solely on grade levels for class placement, Miles Education’s courses are divided based on students’ individual proficiency levels, resulting in more precise divisions. Classes of varying levels for the same course and subject customise their teaching plans, progression, textbook difficulty, and homework load based on students’ individual foundations. This level-based grouping allows students with similar proficiency levels to build confidence more easily, while teachers can adapt their teaching methods to individual needs, thereby improving teaching efficiency. It’s truly a win-win situation.

Miles Education places utmost importance on service and customer experience.

Free Testing & Assessment: Miles Education offers complimentary testing for all assessments, allowing interested clients to experience and understand their child’s current academic level and set learning goals. With each test, Miles Education includes a free assessment, providing detailed analysis of students’ strengths and diagnosing specific issues, empowering students with self-awareness of their academic situation.

Free Counsultation and Guidance: Following the assessment, our course consultants provide complimentary advisory services for new inquiries. They analyse the student’s situation and match suitable courses, providing explanations accordingly. If students are facing exams, our consultants conduct professional analysis to ensure students and parents have comprehensive and in-depth exam information, enabling them to be well-prepared.

For current students, our course consultants provide attentive service after classes, offering parents various forms of support in learning planning and education. This ensures students can steadily progress over the long term and avoid detours. Miles Education offers the following support for our center’s students/parents:

1. Guiding parents on how to oversee their children’s education
2. Guiding parents on communicating with their children
3. Providing tutoring for students
4. Assisting in communication and analysing students’ situations as a bridge between parents and teachers
5. Providing professional learning plans and adjusting courses according to needs

Miles’ Free Value-added Services 1: Regular feedback on student learning status provided by study groups enables parents to understand their children’s learning trends, facilitating post-class collaboration and adjustment of learning plans.

Student learning feedback is shared in individual WeChat micro-groups, where students, parents, subject teachers, and course consultants can stay updated. Teachers provide feedback twice a month on classroom and homework performance, learning status, strengths, weaknesses, and solutions. This includes specific examples and data for parents to monitor progress and address any issues. Convenient communication ensures parents and teachers can discuss and assist students effectively both in and out of class.

Miles’ Free Value-added Services 2: Free post-class tutoring service (Stayback System) is provided to assist students who struggle with homework or fall behind in class to make adjustments and receive guidance.

Many tutoring services lack effectiveness due to their rigid fee structures, fixed class schedules, lack of post-class supervision, and insufficient support for students with weaker learning abilities, resulting in some students falling behind. Our center’s post-class tutoring service focuses on:

1. Those with weaker learning abilities
2. Those with poor study habits
3. Those with weak foundations
4. Those with misplaced attitudes and awareness

Many students’ learning issues stem from personal habits and awareness rather than academic knowledge. Post-class tutoring supervises and assists students with homework quality, diligence in completing assignments, study methods, and learning efficiency to ensure they don’t fall behind in tuition classes and can truly absorb what they learn. Through ongoing monitoring, students’ study habits, methods, and attitudes can be corrected over time.

Stringent Standards: Miles Education maintains high academic standards for all courses, requiring both efficiency and volume in teaching to reflect the team’s strong sense of responsibility. The selection and training process for teachers is rigorous, with Miles Education seeking instructors who not only excel academically in their subjects but also demonstrate dedication, patience, enthusiasm for teaching, and a strong work ethic.

Effective Communication: Beyond delivering lessons and providing feedback, teachers maintain open lines of communication with parents, ensuring they are kept informed about their child’s progress and any developments as they arise. The exchange of information is transparent and timely.

Habit Formation: In addition to delivering academic content, teachers emphasise the importance of classroom discipline and cultivate positive study habits and learning awareness among students. Activities such as note-taking, interactive class participation, completing assignments, organizing materials, and regular review sessions all contribute to enhancing students’ learning experience.
