Teaching Highlights

Philosophy

Public Speaking and Debating Course

At Realus, our educational philosophy is centered on systematic instruction and effective academic improvement.
Drawing on years of experience, our research and teaching team has innovatively developed the VCE Excellence Program, which incorporates two core educational principles: "Advanced Learning" and the "Three-Cycle Review Method." We encourage students to discover the joy of learning through exploration and practice, fostering critical thinking to analyse the depth and breadth of knowledge and its application in the real world.

Goal

Public Speaking and Debating Course

From Year 7 to Year 10, we ensure students' academic growth while focusing on cultivating their independent thinking, creativity, and a lifelong learning attitude. In Years 9 and 10, we begin guiding students to engage with VCE exam content.

Following the concept of "advanced learning," we introduce VCE content in Years 9 and 10. This approach ensures that by the end of Year 11, students will have mastered all the essential VCE exam content, with additional extension where necessary.

Utilising the "Three-Cycle Revision Method," we systematically review all key knowledge points in Year 12. This approach strengthens students' comprehensive application abilities, enhances exam techniques, and ensures that students can perform at their best in the final VCE exams, maximising their personal potential.

    作为一名十二年级高考学生,我非常推荐第一教育。我在一个普通公校,去年和今年都非常又幸的参加了Nick老师中数补习班和Henry老师的物理以及低数班。这也让我不仅在学校里的成绩得到了大大的提升,取代了想要的成绩。同时Nick和Henry老师的课讲的都特别好,从两位老师的课堂当中,可以收获到丰富的内容,并且同时也不会讲的太枯燥,和学生氛围不错。在课下两位老师以及客服总是有耐心并且及时的回复科目上的任何问题。希望第一教育越办越好,非常推荐!
