At Hua Sheng Learning Centre, we embrace the concept of small class teaching, which means that our classes typically accommodate approximately 10 to 12 students. The specific number of students in each class is determined based on the available classroom space.
Assignments are primarily completed during our class sessions. In cases where the weekly workload becomes substantial, teachers may assign a portion of multiple-choice questions as homework. Composition and comprehension tasks are tackled during class time. Following grading, teachers review the worksheets with the class in the subsequent week. At home, students are encouraged to review their oral notes, practice spelling and dictation, and address any corrections from previous worksheets.
