At A+ Achievers, we understand that every parent wants the very best for their child. A solid education and strong academic performance open doors to lifelong success. While schools are staffed with dedicated, well-trained teachers, some students may still struggle to reach their full academic potential. That’s where A+ Achievers steps in.
We provide a wide range of after-school tutoring programmes designed for primary, intermediate, and high school students from all backgrounds. Our mission is to help students excel academically, close learning gaps, and overcome educational challenges. Our tutoring covers all major school subjects, including spelling, reading, English, mathematics, science, and more.
Our classes are led by experienced, qualified educators who are passionate about making learning engaging, effective, and enjoyable. They are also adept at identifying individual learning gaps and working closely with each student to help them achieve at or above their grade level.
Each student begins with a complimentary diagnostic assessment, which helps determine their current academic level and allows us to place them in the programme that best fits their specific learning needs.
In addition to supporting students through NCEA, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), and the International Baccalaureate (IB), A+ Achievers also assists those preparing for international examinations such as the SAT and the Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK), especially for students looking to pursue studies overseas
At A+ Achievers, we utilise innovative teaching strategies and top-tier learning resources to make education accessible, engaging, and effective. We offer comprehensive after-school programmes that support learners of all nationalities and backgrounds, empowering them to overcome academic hurdles and thrive in their education
Our goal at A+ Achievers is to unlock the potential of every student, guiding them toward a broader vision for their future while helping them make the most of their academic strengths

Our Teaching Methods at A+ Achievers
At A+ Achievers, we understand that every student learns differently, and that a flexible, personalized approach is key to academic success. To cater to diverse learning needs and preferences, we offer a variety of instructional methods that promote engagement, understanding, and confidence:
Our one-on-one or group tutoring sessions are designed to provide personalized attention and direct interaction between student and tutor. This method allows our educators to

- Tailor lesson plans to match the student’s learning pace and style.
- Build a strong rapport and boost student confidence in a focused environment.
- Offer real-time feedback and encouragement, helping students overcome academic hurdles quickly and effectively
These sessions are especially helpful for students who require extra attention, are preparing for exams, or have specific academic goals

rounded, effective, and enjoyable learning experience. Whether they need academic support,
are preparing for competitive exams, or want to excel beyond the school curriculum, we offer
the right tools and strategies to help them succeed.
Assessments & Preparatory Tests
At A+ Achievers, we believe that ongoing assessment is key to tracking academic progress, identifying learning gaps, and refining our approach to each student’s unique needs. That’s why assessment is an integral part of our tutoring programmes—not just at the beginning, but throughout the academic year.
Initial Diagnostic Assessment - Every student begins their A+ Achievers journey with a comprehensive entrance test. This assessment helps us:
- Determine the student’s current academic level.
- Identify strengths and areas needing improvement.
- Place the student in the most suitable learning programme.
- This ensures that each learner receives individualized support from day one
Ongoing Formative Assessments
Throughout the term, our tutors regularly assess students using
- Class-based quizzes and short tests.
- Homework reviews and progress evaluations.
- Observation and feedback during one-on-one or group sessions
These formative assessments allow us to adjust lesson plans in real-time and provide focused support where it’s needed most
End-of-Term Assessments & Preparatory Tests
At the conclusion of each term, students sit for a structured assessment that mirrors the format of formal school or external examinations. These term-end tests are designed to:
- Evaluate how much the student has learned and retained.
- Provide a realistic exam environment to build confidence.
We also offer mock exams and exam preparation workshops to sharpen test-taking skills, improve time management, and reduce exam anxiety.
Progress Reports & Parental Feedback
After each term’s assessment period, we provide detailed progress reports outlining:
- Academic improvement.
- Areas still needing support.
- Recommendations for continued development.
We maintain open communication with parents and guardians to ensure a team-based approach to student success.
