SINGAPORE – Most pupils only do a few English compositions a year that are marked in school. They do not get graded when they practise writing at home, and parents often lack the confidence to assess their children in this area.
Moses Soh, deputy chief executive and head of academic innovation at Mind Stretcher education centre will address this at the PSLE Prep Forum organised by The Straits Times on July 11.
He will explain why students need roughly 10 times more practice than school typically provides, and will offer high-impact techniques on how to hone a child’s composition writing skills to gain higher marks.
He will also demonstrate how to use AI-powered tools such as Mind Stretcher’s CompoCoach, which gives every child an expert-level grader and a library of model compositions within reach. Besides providing detailed, actionable feedback, it draws on the experience of former school heads of departments who have marked thousands of compositions over the years.
CompoCoach is part of cher.ai, Mind Stretcher’s personal tutor AI. As a bonus, those who sign up as PSLE Companion subscribers by July will get 30 per cent off cher.ai subscriptions until the end of PSLE 2026.
Jolene Ang, co-founder of BlueTree Education, is the other speaker at the forum. The former PSLE Chief Presiding Examiner and PSLE Science marker will show participants how to spot common thinking traps that cause the needless loss of exam marks, and teach parents how to decode mistakes and help their children stay calm and confident under pressure.
Ang adds: “If a child starts now and needs a marked improvement, he or she has to double down. Parents often ask, at this point in the PSLE year: Is it too late? I want to tell them it is not. It is possible to revise well with expert tips. I have seen it. ”
Participants also get exclusive access to a series of PSLE Science Challenge Cards, a set of challenging questions from past-year PSLE Science papers with full answers, put together by BlueTree Education.
