Discover the right way to study A Level History

The harsh reality. The struggles that you face.

The GCE A Level History.

Some find it a daunting challenge.

There’s so much to read and remember!

Why can’t I complete my essay and case study on time?

In fact, many tend to approach the subject through brute force rote memorisation to complete their revision for the assessed topics and sit for the examinations. To make matters worse, all that effort was for naught.

The grades attained for such attempts were disappointing.

Struggled with history a lot in JC. With the help of Mr Justin, my results improved tremendously during A levels and I got A for the subject in the end. Given that history is notoriously content-heavy and difficult, this speaks for Mr Justin’s skill. He is also very approachable and willing to mark essays for you if you send them, giving detailed feedback and suggestions. Overall, I would highly recommend him, and even prefer him to my own teacher in school.

Cassidy ThngPrivate Candidate, 2024, H2 History

I entered Justin’s classes during my final year in the A levels, with no proper understanding of the demands of H2 History. Justin lessons were very structured and detailed, which was helpful in understanding the expectations of the paper. His notes and materials were no doubt clear, concise and broad which streamlined my learning process. A key takeaway was lessons on analysing and answering techniques that was not taught well in school. His lesson focuses on application rather than repetition.

This has made me able to immediately handle questions with more ease and boosted my confidence. Lastly, Justin is very accommodative and approachable. He is too readily available to answer my questions outside of class time which served a lot of help. I do not regret taking up lessons with Justin and wish i did so earlier.

Joash MarcusMillennia Institute, 2024, H2 History (9174)

I joined Mr Ng’s class towards the end of my first year. I faced difficulties transitioning from the skills I learnt during O Levels and struggled to apply A Level skills in my work. As History was my H2 subject, I was extremely worried about my mediocre grades and even started to regret taking the subject. In my second year, as exams and Prelims were approaching, I found myself still unable to understand the basic foundation of essay structures and how to approach questions.

Fortunately, Mr Ng’s help turned this around. Despite lessons being conducted in a group setting, he still placed great importance in checking in personally with each of his students to understand their strengths and weaknesses, so as to cater to our individual needs. He provided notes that were organised and easy to refer to as well as many sample answers that gave us a clearer understanding as to how to write our answers. I was able to immediately clear my doubts with him on WhatsApp and he was always more than happy to arrange extra consultations with his students if they needed it. Overall, Mr Ng’s patience and ability to connect with each of his students boosted my morale and confidence in the weeks leading up to A Levels. He is also a very fun teacher who understands how stressful the exams can be and does everything he can to ensure that we are prepared to take it on.

Because of him, I improved from S/U grades in my mid-year exams and Prelims to an A in the A Levels. I am truly grateful for all his help!

Mrs Yeo (Parent of Jermayne)Eunioa Junior College, 2019, attained A for H2 History

H1 History was always a struggle for me in JC. However, after joining Mr Justin’s History Tuition just before my JC2 mid-year exams, I noticed a gradual improvement in my history grades. Mr Justin exposed me to many question types for the essay component and equipped me with a myriad of technical vocabulary that enabled me to articulate my ideas adequately. He also encouraged me to send online essays, which he would promptly mark with meticulous care. Due to his congenial nature, approaching him for consults to clarify any doubts was easy.

Rachel Loh Serangoon Junior College, 2014

Having been under Justin’s tutelage, I have found that his teaching methods are highly effective. This is exemplified by how the short amount of time I spent with him turned my grades from U’s to a B during the A levels. Justin’s teaching methods are straightforward and intensive. And during the tuition sessions he would pose thought provoking questions that force students to be more analytical in their approach towards the subject.

Throughout my entire academic life thus far, I have rarely come across a teacher that genuinely cares about his students well-being and their understanding of the subject. But Justin has proven himself to be just as such. He teaching methods are practical and methodical. And he inspires to bring out the best in his students.

Joel Chung Serangoon Junior College, 2014

I am glad that I have chosen JCHistoryTuition.com.sg while pursuing history. Despite, not having a background in history but Justin has definitely equipped me with the necessary skills to score in the A levels. Justin focuses on developing strategic techniques essential to perform in major examinations. For instance, the crafting of standardized paragraphs and essay outlines aims to minimize the wastage of time and provides a structure to the essays which gives me an edge over the others; given that my essay is clear and to the point.

All in all, JCHistoryTuition.com.sg is an excellent place that prepares its students for exams through its rigorous system as well as its friendly and competent tutor, Justin.
