Top Education Advocator
What does an Education Advocator do?
The Education Advocator
focuses on 2 areas of Coaching, namely Life- Coaching and
Academic Coaching. The relationship between your child and I
is not the conventional Classroom teacher - student
relationship, but mentor - mentee and friend -
friend relationship.
1)
*Getting Started Program (TurboCharge!) – Motivation from within
Having the results you desire starts with
gaining clarity on your values, enabling more meaningful
choices and consistent action. In this 1-day Getting Started
Program, we will put your child in a reflective mode,
helping him uncover his core values and useful beliefs
that can help him excel in his studies. By doing so, we seek
to get him started towards the achievement of his Goals.
*Depends on availability of program
2)
Follow Up Program – Sustained Motivation
The Follow
up Program seeks to sustain the energy and enthusiasm
that your child had accumulated in Getting Started Program.
Besides the weekly coaching session, we will have online
mentorship. The Follow Up Program consists of the
following:
(A)
Academic Coaching
Through
weekly coaching sessions (usually 2 hours/week), we will
impart learning strategies to help your child excel in their
various subjects. Our academic coaching is anchored on the S3
Strategy.
a)
One Page Power Concept Summary
“So much to
study…”
“Cannot
remember so many formulae and concepts…”
It’s not
unusual to hear the above comments from students today. That
is exactly why we came up with the one-page concept summary
– to show them that every chapter or topic can be summarized
into Key Concepts, Main Types of Questions, and Application
Strategies, in just one page! In fact these are all they
need to know in order to score in examinations! More
importantly, it is compulsory for our students to reproduce
the one-page concept summary themselves.
b)
Power Strategy Formation and Linking
There are 3
levels of problem-solving: Strategy, Tactics and Tools.
Coupled with other important strategies in problem solving,
we want to drill our students to keep linking to the One
Page Concept Summary, which consists of the tactics and
tools required for the particular topic. This is extremely
useful for students to get organized and score in
examinations!
c)
Power Drilling - Perfect Practice
Practice
does not always make perfect. In fact, we believe in
‘Perfect Practice makes Better’.
Many students today keep practicing and practicing, yet
could not achieve the results they want, only to find out
that they have been practicing to perfect the mistake they
made.
As an
Education Advocator, it is our responsibility to make sure
that every effort made to learning is an effective one.
d)
Mapping of Thought Process
This is one
of the most powerful proven techniques. Instead of just
solving questions that students have difficulties in
answering, we lead them through my thought and analytical
process. Your child will be able to solve a large variety of
questions in any subject, once successfully mapping my
thought process.
e)
Focus is Power - Independent Learning
The
objective of AEPL is to cultivate and enhance independent
learning in our students. This is where tracking and
discipline, together with goal setting and
time management, comes into play.
(B)
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is quickly becoming one of the
leading tools that successful people use to live
extraordinary lives. Understanding that parents today are
mostly working and hardly have any time for their children,
students when met with personal challenges, can approach me
for advice. Through the weekly coaching sessions, your child
identifies what is most important to him and aligns his
thoughts, words, and actions, accordingly. Techniques on
Goal Setting and Time management will be taught to your
child, not only for academic purposes, but for life.
Which professional athlete hasn’t used a
coach to win?
Tiger Woods is already one of
the best, and yet he understands the value that comes from
having someone work directly with him, someone to point out
things he can’t see, someone to keep encouraging and
challenging him to achieve his greatest potential. That’s
who we are for your child.
Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your child’s
life!
