How is the remedial teaching different from regular teaching?
Remedial Teaching Programme at ZACK therefore, designs diversified teaching activities and adopts various teaching methods to help students develop their potential and remove the obstacles in learning.

Each pupil is different in terms of learning ability, academic standards, classroom learning and academic performance, and each has his own in learning. We design individualized educational programmes with intensive remedial support to help pupils consolidate their basic knowledge in different subjects, master the learning methods, strengthen their confidence and enhance the effectiveness of learning.

Throughout the teaching process, we provide systematic training to develop pupils’ generic skills, including interpersonal relationship, communication, problem-solving, self-management, self-learning, independent thinking, creativity and the use of information technology. Such training can lay the foundation for pupils’ life-long learning, help them develop positive attitudes and values, as well as prepare them for future studies and career.
