P.1 - P.6 Exam Preparation Course
With a track record of high-quality teaching and exceptional results, over 98% of MAC past students have successfully advanced to Band 1 English-medium secondary schools.
Our team of highly qualified educators, with extensive experience in setting and marking exams for elite schools in District 41, is deeply familiar with the structure of internal assessments, common pitfalls, and frequent student mistakes.
Our specialized English instruction goes beyond the general all-subject preparatory courses available, offering in-depth and professional teaching. We focus on small class sizes to ensure that students fully grasp each topic, enhancing their problem-solving skills and flexibility in tackling any type of question.
We maintain close communication with parents, providing personalized follow-up on each student's learning progress.
P5, P6 Exam Preparatory Class
In our small-class teaching approach, our teachers have a clear understanding of each student's progress and address their weaknesses through targeted training. They personalize their instruction based on individual needs, allowing for tailored teaching methods.
We focus on strengthening the English foundation of students from Primary 1 to Primary 4, covering topics such as Past Tense, Future Tense, Prepositions, and more. Additionally, we provide early instruction on topics within the scope of Primary 5 and Primary 6, such as Present Perfect Tense, Relative Clause, Reported Speech, and Conditional Sentences. These topics are commonly assessed in English exams.
Our extensive database of English question papers includes materials from various primary schools in Hong Kong, including renowned schools in Kowloon. This allows students to practice different question formats and diversify their skills.
We teach students effective strategies for answering key questions, helping them score points efficiently and confidently in exams. Additionally, we thoroughly review and analyze mistakes made by students, identifying common errors and reasons for loss of marks. This process enables students to learn from their mistakes and reduces the chances of careless errors in exams.
Creative Writing
In Hong Kong, exams often overlook the importance of nurturing students' creativity and independent thinking.
Students' writing tends to be vague, lacking in vocabulary, and their sentences and paragraphs may lack coherence, resulting in a dislike for English writing.
Through this creative writing course, students will have the opportunity to explore various types of writing topics, inspiring their interest in writing.
This programme aims to improve students' writing fluency, enabling them to write with greater confidence.
These writing classes typically include creative writing exercises that encourage students to express their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, students will learn about the structure of writing, sentence coherence, and vocabulary usage to enhance the quality and fluency of their writing. Through this training, students can develop greater creativity and independent thinking in their writing, ultimately boosting their confidence when it comes to writing.
Interview Class
MAC students have successfully been admitted to multiple prestigious schools such as Diocesan Boys' School (DBS), Diocesan Girls' School (DGS), La Salle College, Pui Ching Middle School, Sacred Heart Canossian College, St. Paul's College, La Salle Primary School, Choi Kai Yau School, Ying Wa College, and many others.
Special emphasis is placed on boosting students' personal confidence, reducing the chances of losing points due to nervousness during interviews. A wide range of interview questions is covered to train students in answering techniques. Situational and image-based comprehension questions are specially designed to help students cope with diverse interview topics.
Interview etiquette is taught to establish a good impression. Mock interview sessions are conducted to enhance students' adaptability and provide them with practical experience in real-life scenarios.
