E3 Teaching Model
Exposure – Question exposure is key to effective learning. Unlike typical classes that begin with textbook content, QE commences with exam question analysis to systematically address learning priorities, deconstruct key question types, and introduce new content.
Elaborate – Next, the class learns textbook content by solving key exam questions. Such ‘learning from doing’ enhances problem solving skills and conceptual understanding for productive learning. Our insider knowledge ensures a highly advanced curriculum with optimal question exposure and hands on learning for comprehensive syllabus coverage.
Execute – Practice, practice, practice. E3 concludes with timed trials and topical drills for targeted revision and advanced application skills. QE’s industry leading question banks are intelligently designed to address all question types, consider the learning style of each student, and maximise knowledge retention. More importantly, we emphasise post practice reviews with respective tutors to leave no questions unanswered.
Nurturing Educators
Junior Tutors – They graduated from top IB schools with stellar grades (IB 43+), many of whom are ex QE tutees who have been cherry picked to join our teaching team. Having first hand experience in both the IB and QE courses, they offer invaluable support to students for effective learning and continue to share a proven formula for success.
Senior Tutors – Graduates, current, and ex school teachers with minimum 5 years experience and bachelors’ degree with top honours. All QE tutors go through a stringent 3 stage selection. First, screening of credentials for top tutors with proven teaching record at established schools (Mean IB score > 6.5). Next, a personal interview to ensure these candidates are likeable and effective communicators who can lead and inspire. Finally, a session where prospective tutors deliver a lesson to our interviewers.
Examiners – IB examiners who have been teaching their entire careers and consistently rank top among their colleagues. They have experience marking IB papers and know exactly what examiners are looking out for. Students who need pinpoint help for exam skills, answering techniques, and focused drills, often benefit the most. Rest assured, your children will thrive under their mentorship.

Having Economics with Sean helped to better understand the concepts. Sean was always very patient and helpful, whenever I had questions, he always taught me many useful skills. After every exam, Sean will go through my mistake and summarise the relevant points. During the revision, he helped me to practice many essays which helped me to improve my writing skills. I was able to get grade 7 for my finals.
Dou Hai Yi, Hwa Chong InternationalQE has been very helpful in bringing out the best in me for Mathematics! In fact, I was always very lost in lessons, until I joined the class. Jayden was able to help us understand the requirements and key points of each question and component, by breaking down and approaching them methodically. Apart from letting me have a greater grasp of the subject, it boosted my confidence during the exam, keeping me calm and composed!
Rachel Wee, ACS (International)After repeatedly failing Chemistry, I decided to join Quintessential. With 5 months left to the IB examinations, Michael managed to guide and help me achieve a grade 7 in Chemistry. Micheal dissected questions and helped to explain everything in detail. He helped identify my problems at the root and taught me how to overcome it which is why I went from getting a grade 3 to a grade 7 in 5 months. Thank You!
Naveen Lakshmanan, SJIGoing for economics tuition helped me revise everything that I learnt in school, which was very important for me as I was struggling to find time. I was also able to receive more resources to study as Sean provided very concise notes. The papers we went through very consistently further helped me understand answers I should be providing for my exams. I was able to achieve a grade of 7 for my final IB examination. Thank you!
Nicole Teo, ACS IndependentSean is a dedicated teacher who is willing to spend time outside lessons to have consultations with students. His lessons are engaging and useful as I’ve learnt many writing and answering skills for my exams that are not taught in school. Sean ensures we grasp the skills and concepts taught by giving practices and feedback in class, and also encourages us with food. Thank you very much!
Celeste Chan, SJII joined Quintessential as I was having problems writing well which was highly frustrating for me. After a few sessions I was able to write anwsers with more accuracy, using proper techniques, improving along the way and therefore increasing my confidence. I learnt and understood much more than I did before. My marks in my Langlit boosted in school. Thanks to Dawn I was able to achieve a 7 in my IB exams, which I didn’t think was possible.
