      Most of the books are modern, so you can’t find them on the Internet legitimately. I would suggest that you go to any Popular bookstore, find a guide about the book, and buy that, so long as you are rich. Alternatively, go to Cliffsnotes or Sparknotes online and you will be able to find a gamut of guides.


      Anyway, the point of studying of Literature is not as easy as it deemed is. Literature needs, first and foremost, the appreciation and strong liking to linguistics and philosophy, because everything you study has a deeper meaning which most people could only understand superficially.

      But not me. So can you.

              Hi,

              I am trying to find 2-3 Sec 2 students from the west to form a Literature tuition group for my son. I’ve already identified a potential tutor at Stirling road, who has on-going Saturday class. However, the timing doesn’t fit my son’s schedule on Saturdays. Looking for possibilities to form another class group on Sundays. The tutor charges $230 per month. Interested parents/students, pls. PM me. Alternatively, if you have other tutor to recommend for a small group class, kindly contact me as well. Thanks!

                For Literature, one main thing is to remember PEEL.


                Point
                Evidence
                Elaborate
                Link

                With my simple language skills, I scored 16 to 18 out of 25 for prose passage. So Literature is not difficult to score. Furthermore, it is a less tedious subject compared to Geography and History.

                Never give up :celebrate:

                    Hi Kandc,

                    It depends on which school your DS is going to. Sec schools use different Lit texts. I'm interested if it is relevant 😄

                      My son is with ACS(I) express. Starting from Jan 2013, the first book they are going to learn is \"The Merchant of Venice\". the tutor at Stirling road is a male tutor, center name is \"thinking place tuition\". You can call him at 91787633 for more info, and even a trial lesson with him. His current class on Saturdays 10-1130am has already 6-7 students, but problem is that the timing not fit my son's schedule. Prefer a slot on Sundays. Another tutor I got is a female, teaching from her home at Pine Grove Clementi area. Let me know if you are still keen. Thanks!

                        Hi Kandc,


                        I've spoken to the male tutor you mentioned. He's not really teaching Literature per se. More like a general English course for Sec 1 students teaching literacy styles. The students are from different schools. It's not what I am looking for. But thanks for telling me Kandc 😄

                        My son will also be in ACSI but he's doing Haroun and the Sea of Stories and Malgudi Days, so we can't combine too. I'm trying to persuade DS's P6 English tutor (a very excellent teacher) to continue teaching him next year, but then again, she teaches in small groups in learning centre, not 1-2-1. So got to look for some other students doing the same texts and she also wants them to be within a similar proficiency range.

                        Well..maybe we can meet some interested parents during orientation to form our groups.
