Here at TGA, we believe in a hands on approach to maximise content retention and get consistent practice to gear students up to score in their exams. Students first learn about the Theory, then practice their skills at the Growth stage. Last but not least, they discover real-life Applications of the concepts they have learnt with us.

Don't make the same mistake twice! With this template crafted by our teachers, this Learning Points Compilation serves as a document for students to regularly revise the common mistakes that they face. By having easy access to their frequent errors, our students can remind themselves of what they should be wary of in the future.
