Charles Chen, an alumnus of Raffles Institution, believes it is the creative coaching and friendship that make this mentorship programme different from regular tuition. He said, “The mentors know they have to be different from a tuition agency; they have to lead by example. This is a select group who have been chosen based on their proven character and academic ability.”
Forging friendships through mentoring causes these students to look forward to studying. The aim of this programme is to help change these youths’ attitude towards their studies. The group believe this will yield dividends in the long term — dry remedials can never sustain such change.
