The Learner's Club Unique Methodology

At The Learners’ Club, we empower children to first become self-motivated individuals, then to propel their learning with tested techniques.

Building Meta-Cognitive Skills

We help children to build self-awareness in their learning process, be self-motivated to take control of their learning journey, internalise learning with our consistent feedback and reinforcement approach.

Proven Methodology for Language Acquisition

Instead of exposing your child to random topics, we use a systematic curriculum with our unique “Club Focus” approach to pique your kids’ interest about the world around them. It takes learning beyond the classroom.
 
With each topic and article carefully curated, we craft oral topics, comprehension passages and composition writing revolving around a highly engaging themes like “Fascinating Sea (e.g. Smart Mammals, Killer Orcas) and "Food Around the World (e.g. Savoury Sushi and Sashimi, Bugs for Breakfast)" to develop depth in general knowledge and move beyond exam drills

Key Learning Outcomes

• Build fundamental skills with the discipline of grammar rules
• Demystify the mantra of “reading between the lines” to score in Comprehension
• Guide your child to think like a writer and craft engaging pieces of compositions
• Train your child to be a confident and  knowledgeable speaker, capable of articulating current affairs and global developments
