At the start of every lesson, the tutor will go through the previous week’s homework assignment before embarking on the week’s lesson, which may be topical, or strategy based. After the teaching of the new topic/strategy, learners will work independently on their class assignments. Homework is assigned to allow the learners to practise what they have been taught. Tutors will observe learners’ work, highlight important considerations based on the observations and provide the required personal attention to aid those who need further clarifications.

Why is homework assigned?Homework is assigned to further reinforce the concepts taught in class. The learner is expected to complete and hand in all homework on time as this will aid in the teacher’s assessment of his/her level of understanding to ensure better pacing in class.

However, the tutor is not able to extend the lesson to answer those questions as he/she may have another lesson scheduled right after the class.
