At the start of Year 10, when we first started doing IGCSE English, I didn't feel very confident so I felt like I needed more support outside of school. My friend very kindly introduced me to Miss Jamie. Miss Jamie gives us a lot of resources that are very useful to help us score maximum marks needed for exam. She also gives us really detailed feedback one on one, so that we know how to do better next time and that we won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that Ms Ku really taught us exam techniques which are so important for GCSE exams. I found it a lot easier to write essays under Ms. Ku’s guidance. I genuinely think that I owe my improved English grades to her

I decided to choose Miss Jamie because my English grade was a 5 months prior to my IGCSE exam date, which was not pleasing to the eye. Therefore, through recommendations of family and friends, I was lucky enough to find Miss Jamie to tutor me English. Miss Jamie has provided me with countless exam techniques and vocabulary to enhance my level of writing. She has also provided model Grade 9 answers from previous exams for reference, which I found very useful. Furthermore, wi

在 IGCSE 的評分階梯中，B級是一個令人五味雜陳的位置。它證明了學生具備了穩固的基礎，卻又像一道無形的牆，阻擋著他們邁向頂尖學府所青睞的 A 或 A* 等級。長期停留在這個「不上不下」的區間，很容易催生一種特有的學術焦慮——「B級焦慮」，讓學生逐漸對自己的能力產生懷疑。

想起年前在香港某頂級國際名校裡，有家長因不滿而投訴學校在IBDP (IB的高中時段)的英文科內，教授俄裔美藉作者Vladimir Nabokov撰寫的小說 Lolita (1955)（想起是因為Epstein的私人飛機被媒體名為 "Lolita Express"）。 因為Lolita裡涉及孌童內容及曾在某些國家被禁，這所名校有些家長因為不滿而要求轉班 (在IB的世界裡，不同班別的老師可以選教不同文本)。 我想跟家長們說明，IB把Lolita列為高中全球考試的其中一個文本 (set text)，當然不是想鼓吹孌童文化，而是要學生理解Nabokov的

在為 IGCSE 數學奮鬥的路上，導師的資歷直接決定了您的學習高度。您需要的，不僅是一位會解題的老師，更是一位深諳教育、身經百戰的專家。Alpha Education 的 Nelson Chung，正是這樣一位無可挑剔的領航人。

許多 IGCSE 數學補習班的目標僅僅是幫助學生「跟上進度」，但在 Alpha Education，我們的目標遠不止於此。由 Nelson Chung 主理的「IGCSE - 精英數學輔導課程」，從一開始就以最高標準——A* 為終極目標。

Tip of the day Younger learners should focus on cultivating their language proficiency, as they need to use a formal register in their writing to score well in public exams.

An uncommon feminist tragedy written by Euripides in 431 BC, the play charts Medea's revenge against her unfaithful and opportunistic husband, Jason, by murdering their own two sons. She also killed her love rival, the rich Princess of Corinth.

在 IBDP 數學的旅程中，除了最終大考，還有一項佔據重要分數且讓無數學生倍感壓力的任務——內部評估（Internal Assessment, IA）。從確定題目、收集數據、進行數學建模到撰寫報告，每一步都充滿挑戰。

在 IBDP 的評分系統中，預測成績 (Predicted Grade) 為 4 分，對許多學生和家長來說，幾乎等同於一份學術上的「病危通知書」。這不僅意味著在該科目上的嚴重掙扎，更可能直接危及心儀大學的申請資格，讓兩年的努力付諸東流。這份絕望與無助，正是 Glenn 同學在收到英文科預測 4 分時的真實寫照。

Tip of the day - An A essay must go beyond literary analysis and offers evaluations on an ideological level that ties strongly with the text(s)' significance of context.

The classic gothic novel Frankenstein (1818) written by Mary Shelley, has an even more daunting subtitle "The Modern Prometheus". This subtitle blatantly points to humans' hubris in scientific inventions and the inevitable tragedy that results in both humans and their monstrous creation.

How about exam skills for IBDP students who are taking Language & Literature (both SL & HL)? The best way to train students' Paper 1 skills (unseen textual analysis) is to first, guide them to uncover the Primary Purpose and Secondary Purpose of the examined texts.

您是否對孩子的 IGCSE 數學學習感到擔憂？或者您作為學生，正對自己的數學水平感到迷惘，不知從何入手？

Being one of the most controversial novellas published in the 20th Century, Lolita (1955) is written by Russian-American novelist Valdimir Nabokov. It aroused censorship due to its content of pedophelia and erotic motifs.

IB English HL Paper 1，即「未知文本分析」(Unseen Text Analysis)，是無數 IB 學生心中的夢魘。在短短兩個小時內，面對兩篇從未見過的陌生文本，學生需要迅速解構、深入分析並寫出兩篇結構嚴謹、論證有力的評論文章。許多學生在試卷前感到大腦一片空白，掙扎於如何將零散的觀察，轉化為一篇具備 Level 7 水平的分析性寫作。
