Our Promise: High-quality at a competitive price
Our ability to consistently uphold our quality and pricing commitments is not a coincidence; rather, it is a deliberately crafted strategic design. We concentrate exclusively on the essential elements necessary for achieving PSLE success and ensure that we excel in delivering these essentials. Through this unwavering focus, we have become highly cost-effective, allowing us to provide exceptional value to our students and their parents
Hiring the Right People
We hire only people with a passion for helping students succeed
We are unwavering in our quest to recruit individuals who are passionate about aiding students in their success in the PSLE to join our team at Essential Education. Making the right hires is a crucial step, as everyone becomes united in our shared goal and mission – to empower our students to excel in the PSLE.
This commitment extends beyond our educators to include our Operations and Administrative team, playing a pivotal role in managing logistics. From assisting in finding suitable lesson timings to coordinating make-up classes, we strive to create a supportive environment that champions the success of all our students.
Embracing the core value of 'Student-Centredness,' you can trust that every decision and action taken by each team member is driven by the intention to support your child's excellence in the PSLE.
Essential Learning Method
A systematic approach to succeeding in PSLE
We've crafted the Essential Learning Method, a targeted approach designed to guide our students toward success in the PSLE. Rooted in the latest scientific research on neuroscience and learning, this method centers around six pivotal areas:
Curriculum Essential for AL1
Exam Skills and Strategies
Essential Practice for PSLE Success
Establishing Essential Habits for Success
Developing Self-awareness
Building Confidence for Success
It's a successful PSLE formula that delivers results. We support our students in achieving academic excellence by applying this formula consistently. All our teachers undergo thorough training in the Essential Learning Method, ensuring a uniform and effective approach in our education.
Safe, Convenient and Affordable Location
We are located at safe and convenient locations, but never in the trendist mall.
We prioritize safety and essential convenience when selecting our center locations. We consider various safety aspects, including traffic safety, to ensure that students can reach our centers safely without having to navigate complex and unregulated traffic crossings. We prioritize essential conveniences, including sheltered walkways for easy access regardless of the weather and convenient drop-off points for parents who drive.
Attending classes is a weekly, long-term commitment. Ensuring essential safety and convenience enables nearby students to come independently, while parents who drive can easily drop off their child without the need to park and walk them in.
We avoid locating ourselves in the latest and trendiest malls, as it leads to considerable unnecessary expenses that would inevitably result in higher prices for our services. This decision also allows parents and students to steer clear of crowds and sidestep the time-consuming traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular, on a weekly basis."
Cost-Effective Conducive Learning Environment
Conducive learning environment without over-the-top renovation
Our centers are crafted to offer students a conducive learning environment at minimal costs, concentrating on three pivotal elements for PSLE success: excellent lighting, clean air and well-maintained teaching equipment. We prioritize these essentials over extravagant features like designer furniture, expensive glass facades, elaborate signage, or extensive sales reception counter space.
Our classrooms are equipped with abundant lighting, providing a range of 500-800 lux at the table for reading and writing. This not only safeguards the eye health of our students but also enhances their concentration in class. Each classroom is equipped with a HEPA air filter system, ensuring a clean and healthy indoor environment. Teaching equipment such as the projector and the whiteboard are thoughtfully positioned and maintained to ensure maximal viewing comfort.
Minimal Marketing and Sales
We let our quality and results speak for themselves.
At our core, we hold steadfast to the belief that genuine quality and proven results should be the foundation of our reputation. In a conscious departure from conventional marketing strategies, we choose not to invest in flashy, professionally produced advertisements. Additionally, we deliberately abstain from employing a team of sales personnel to persuade potential sign-ups. These elements, although common in many tuition centres, are considered non-essential in our approach.
We recognize that indulging in extravagant marketing tactics does not directly enhance the success of our students in the PSLE. Consistent with our commitment to focus only on the essential to help our students achieve success in the PSLE, we avoid these unnecessary marketing and sales costs.
Instead, we place our trust in the power of positive experiences. Our existing students and their parents become our most authentic advocates, sharing their success stories with family and friends. We take pride in being a treasured secret find for a select group of students and parents, who appreciate the quiet yet impactful role we play in contributing to their success in the PSLE.
