Frequently asked questions常见问题
The questions parents ask us first.家长最先问我们的问题。
What is your success rate?你们的成功率如何?
100% across both academic and admissions outcomes: a 100% A/B rate in students' chosen subjects, and a 100% offer rate across Integrated Programme (IP) Secondary School and Junior College Direct School Admission (DSA), Polytechnic Early Admissions Exercise (EAE), and university admissions, residential applications and scholarship applications at NUS, NTU and SMU, including Aptitude-Based Admissions (ABA).学术与升学,皆为百分之百:所选科目 A / B 率百分之百;直通车课程(IP)中学与初院直接收生计划(DSA)、理工学院提前录取计划(EAE),以及国大、南大、新大的大学录取、宿舍与奖学金申请,录取率亦为百分之百,包括能力导向录取(ABA)。
Are you a tuition agency?你们是补习中介吗?
No. Not another tuition agency, but a dedicated academic & admissions team, quality controlled by founders with 10 years of experience in Singapore's education system. Mentors are screened, interviewed and trained by our founders, and they work within one shared philosophy, so your child is not passed between strangers.不是。我们不是又一家补习中介,而是一支专注学术与升学的导师团队,由深耕新加坡教育体系十年的创办人亲自把关。导师由创办人亲自筛选与培训,秉持同一教育理念,孩子不会在陌生人之间被转手。
Why 1-on-1 instead of a group class?为何选择一对一,而非大班?
Because attention is the scarce resource. In a group, the lesson belongs to the room. One-to-one, it belongs to your child. (Nickow et al., 2020)因为专注才是最稀缺的资源。大班里,课堂属于全班;一对一里,课堂属于您的孩子。(Nickow et al., 2020)
What is the Scion Method?你们的方法是什么?
Understand yourself, understand your peers, understand your superiors. We teach your child to maximise their passions and strengths, to gain influence among their peers, and to win the favour of authority figures, including Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) seniors and teachers, by being prepared, reliable and generous with their help.认识自己,认识同侪,认识师长。我们教孩子发挥热情与长处,在同侪间赢得影响力,并以有准备、可靠、乐于助人的表现,赢得师长包括课外活动(CCA)学长与老师的青睐。
Which subjects and levels do you cover?你们覆盖哪些科目与阶段?
General Paper, English, Chinese and Humanities (History, Literature, Geography, Social Studies), across Primary, Secondary, Junior College, Polytechnic and university.专注综合试卷、英文、中文与人文(历史、文学、地理、社会研究),覆盖小学、中学、初院、理工学院与大学。
What happens in the free 30-minute consultation?免费 30 分钟咨询会谈什么?
We discuss your child's goals, current standing and the admissions outcomes you hope for, then give an honest view of whether, and how, we can help. There is no obligation to continue.我们会谈孩子的目标、现状与期望的录取结果,并坦诚说明我们是否能够、以及如何帮助。咨询之后,没有必须继续的义务。
How is 1-on-1 home mentorship different from a tuition centre?一对一居家辅导与补习中心有何不同?
Every minute is your child's. The pace, examples and feedback are built around one student, and the mentor can see, quickly, what is understood and what is only memorised.每一分钟都属于您的孩子。节奏、例子与反馈都围绕一个学生展开,导师能很快看出,哪些是真正理解,哪些只是记住了。
Do you help with Direct School Admission (DSA), Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) and Aptitude-Based Admissions (ABA)?你们辅导直接收生计划(DSA)、提前录取计划(EAE)与能力导向录取(ABA)吗?
Yes. Portfolio and performance preparation, interview coaching, personal statements and overall application strategy, alongside the academic work that makes an application credible, for Direct School Admission (DSA), Early Admissions Exercise (EAE), Aptitude-Based Admissions (ABA) and Integrated Programme (IP) pathways.是的。作品集与演出准备、面试辅导、个人陈述与整体申请策略,同时配合扎实的学业工作,让申请本身站得住脚,覆盖直接收生计划(DSA)、提前录取计划(EAE)、能力导向录取(ABA)与直通车课程(IP)路径。

We are new to Singapore. Can you help?我们刚到新加坡,你们能帮忙吗?
Yes. This is a particular focus for us. Our founders understand, from personal experience, how unfamiliar the system can feel, and how much of it is never written down. We help families find direction and settle in, academically and socially.可以,这正是我们格外关注的领域。创办人亲身了解,初到新加坡的家庭面对陌生体系时的无措,以及许多规则从未被写下来的现实。我们帮助家庭找到方向,在学业与生活上都安定下来。
