The transition from a four to five years of secondary school study to a two years academic study in Junior College (JC) is a big challenge for many students in Singapore. Unlike Polytechnic or Technical Institution where students will obtain their diploma upon graduation, it is only through good A-level results that can determine their advancement to the University.

Parents spend heavily on tuition fees on top of the JC school fees paid to MOE. Hence, it is important to cultivate good learning habits, practice good time management skills and improve on multitasking skills. To do well for A-level, it is crucial to have a good foundation and the best way is to look for Junior College private tuition.
