Preparing and Studying for O-Level English
It goes without saying that O Level English is one of the trickiest subjects to prepare for. Students are often overwhelmed by the numerous components tested, and are often stumped as to how to improve at each of them. For many students, especially those who struggle with the language, they resign themselves to not preparing for O Level English at all, believing that their low standard of English is fixed and immutable and will thus always translate to Bs or Cs.
If you have been feeling stumped and resigned by secondary school English, despair no longer! It is never too early or too late to begin preparing for O Level English, and what’s important is to not resign yourself to an unchangeable fate but take the steps to begin improving your English sometime, somewhere!
At Wordstruck, we deeply empathise with our students about the complex difficulties of O Level English, and work hard to make each O Level English component both accessible and enriching for students. Through our carefully curated syllabus, we hope that we can help you discover the beauty and relevance of English, so that studying for it becomes much less of a chore!
Besides the pragmatic reason of giving yourself an edge to enrol in a tertiary education of your choosing, here’s some reasons we believe you should prioritise preparing well for your O Level English journey:
- Mastering O Level English components will prepare you for future, real-world responsibilities. Situational Writing trains you to write emails to your future employers, and articles for those of you budding journalists out there. The basics of Expository Writing can aid you in writing clear research papers for university. Carrying out all those Editing practices will make you a whiz at spotting your own mistakes in future. And Oral will train you to speak confidently and fluently during your future interviews!
- Exploring O Level English components can help you to ignite a possible passion for English and/or other interests! When you encounter fascinating, moving comprehension Narrative passages, perhaps that can inspire you to look for the book which the passage came from, and spark a love for reading. Or, when you tackle a mind-blowing Non-Narrative passage about unique topics like the history of personality tests or the art of Japanese sushi making, you can discover a new interest you never knew you had! Our passages at Wordstruck are similarly carefully chosen to inspire such bursts of interest and critical thinking, so you can look forward to reading them!
- Lastly, O Level English also encourages your critical thinking. Inference questions in comprehension require you to read between the lines and think beyond what is simply explicitly told to you. Expository writing topics encourage you to think in-depth about various topics as you construct a nuanced argument. Learning how to think critically for yourself is definitely an essential skill in today’s discourse-driven world which can sometimes drown you with too much information!
So what are you waiting for? Why not give our enjoyable and enlightening lessons at Wordstruck a try today?

How do we tackle the O-Level English Paper: Strategies & Analysis
The transition from primary school English to secondary school English is one to be handled with thought and careful planning.

O-Level English: Fewer Components, but Deeper Learning and Broader Perspectives
With seemingly fewer components in O-Level English, it can be easy to assume that O-level English is simpler. However, our O-Level English tuition teachers are aware of the academic requirements and are prepared to deepen learning in these areas. Through discussions on critical issues with our thematic approach, students will broaden their perspectives and open their eyes to the authentic impact English has in their lives.
English is not learnt for assessment. It is a tool for ideation and a way of life.

- Use English in a grammatical and appropriate manner to convey meaning and achieve impact in various contexts
- Improvement by the next exam (typically 10-20 more marks)
- Develop confidence and a love for English and its intricacies
Here’s what our Secondary students have been sharing about our English Tuition programmes!
“I have really enjoyed the Lil’ But Mighty O Level Comprehension Workshop. Not only was the workshop very engaging with simplified notes for greater understanding, it also covered a variety of questions in both Narrative and Non-narrative comprehensions, from the easier question types such as the Quotation and Literal question types, to questions which involved more critical thinking like Inferential and Language Use for Impact question types. This definitely boosted my confidence in answering similar questions during other comprehension practices. There were also many tips and strategies that I found were straightforward to remember, with TAPS being one of them to reduce careless mistakes in comprehension practices. I will definitely be using this technique more often as I do tend to make simple mistakes easily. I would certainly recommend this workshop to all who would like to achieve a greater understanding of how to answer both Narrative and Non-narrative comprehension..”
“The S3/S4 Compre workshop at LBM was incredibly beneficial for my O Level preparations. The workshop materials were well-designed and structured, making it easy to follow and enjoyable to learn from. I found myself engaged throughout the class, especially appreciating how each day flowed seamlessly with a mix of theory and practice. The coverage of comprehension objectives was thorough, and the workshop definitely boosted my confidence in tackling different question types. The strategies taught were effective and easy to apply, noticeably improving my approach to comprehension. Two days felt like an adequate duration, though I left wanting more due to the engaging sessions. Overall, the teacher’s interaction and delivery were outstanding, making learning both effective and enjoyable. LBM’s small class sizes also ensured personalized attention, enhancing my learning experience significantly.”
“The S3/4 compre workshop that I attended managed to cover every aspect of my school’s O Level comprehension. Not only that but the materials provided exceeded my expectations and managed to provide examples of all the question types, strategies to respond to them and more. The worksheets also managed to cover every aspect of comprehensions as it includes both narrative and non-narrative comprehension tips. This allowed me to gain a massive boost in my comprehension understanding and answering methods. In fact, one of my favourite strategies taught was the SCOL method for summary. It taught me easy and effective ways to paraphrase which improved my grades in the summary section. My teacher (Ms Geraldine) was also key to my understanding of the worksheets and new skills! She managed to explain the worksheets clearly and identify common mistakes made by students in examinations, providing solutions through the tips to solve the mistakes. Thanks LBM!”
“The workshop flow was really smooth and I felt engaged through out class where Ms G thoroughly explained and went through both Non-narrative and Narrative Comprehension content. I liked that there were acronyms given as a reminder of what to take note of when tackling the comprehension segments. One such acronym that I have started using in school is TAPS; Tense, Answer, Punctuation and Spelling. This acronym reminds me to better understand questions so that I am able to provide more accurate responses without making any tense, punctuation or spelling mistakes. The duration of the workshop was sufficient since Ms G was able to go through the notes, provide me and my peers ample time to complete the practices and go through the answers too. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and I feel more confident thanks to Ms G’s guidance. If given the opportunity, I would love to attend another workshop at LBM, taught by Ms G.”
“This past June holidays, I participated in a 2-day English comprehension workshop that focused on different aspects of reading comprehension. It was a fantastic experience that significantly improved my understanding of how to tackle reading passages effectively. Acronyms such as SCOL and TAPS really ingrained helpful tips into my mind to do better, too. Ms. Geraldine, the workshop instructor, deserves high praise for her engaging and informative teaching style. Her kindness and patience created a comfortable learning environment where everyone felt encouraged to participate. Overall, I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to strengthen their English comprehension skills. The combination of in-depth instruction, practical exercises, and Ms. Geraldine’s guidance made it a truly worthwhile learning experience.”
“I attended Lil’ but Mighty tuition when I was P6. During my years at Lil’ but Mighty tuition, I was taught quite a number of skills that helped me in my school and National exam such as the SPCAWSTVPC acronym for editing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful teachers who had taught me throughout my years at Lil’ but Mighty for their patience in teaching me how to answer when I do not know how to attempt the question.”
“At the beginning of Sec 1, I was hovering at B4. However, in Lil’ but Mighty Classes, I learnt strategies that could help me improve to an A2 grade.”
“In Lil’ but Mighty, the teachers are very patient with you and if you have any questions for them, feel free to ask as they will answer your questions. The teachers will help you understand English more than you understand it right now.”
“I have learnt many techniques for English in class which helped me with my time management during exams and makes questions easier to understand and answer. The worksheets are also cute and class is fun.”
“Thinking about LBM, I can only describe it with one word – “Mighty”. They’ve helped me to improve my English in the long run. I was already struggling after my PSLE, so in Secondary 1, I thought about which tuition centre I should join. I’ve many friends that recommended LBM and truly I must say that it is the best. Special thanks to Ms Hui Jun and Ms Kwan for helping me to improve my English.”
“Lil’ but Mighty has helped me a lot with English and also made English one of my favourite subjects. All the teachers that have taught me have always been patient, no matter how many mistakes I make. When I first joined, I was barely passing English but now I’m getting back A’s and even getting top in the class or level.”
