Introducing the Art of Editing

The editing process can be broken down into several stages. First, students must understand the text’s content, purpose, and audience. Next, they need to scrutinise the text for potential errors and determine the best way to correct them. This requires a deep understanding of the English language, from grammar rules to vocabulary usage. With our experienced tutors at Punggol English Tuition, we ensure that your child has the necessary knowledge to tackle this task.

Fostering a Keen Eye for Detail

Spotting errors in text requires a keen eye for detail. This is something we emphasise heavily in our classes. Through consistent practice and exposure to various text types, students develop the ability to quickly identify mistakes, even in complex sentences.
