Scholars by Scholarly: More Than A Tutor. A Mentor

Understanding the Gap

Tuition centres are great at content delivery. They provide structured lessons, practice materials, and exam techniques. Yet many students continue to struggle, not because they lack access to information, but because they lack the confidence, connection, and critical thinking skills that transform information into real understanding.

This gap reveals itself in familiar, heartbreaking patterns: 

• The student who knows the concepts but freezes during exams due to anxiety.
• The bright child who has lost their "spark" for learning.
• The capable mind convinced they are "just not good at studying."

A Different Approach: The Mental Health-Trained Mentor

Scholars bridges this gap through a fundamentally different approach.

It offers a mentorship model built on what many parents have long suspected: excellent grades don't come from drilling harder, but from building stronger foundations. 

The programme focuses on personalised, one-to-one guidance that treats each student as an individual, not a test score waiting to happen.

The strength of Scholars lies in its mentors who are double-qualified: 

1. Pedagogical Experts: Trained in MOE and IB-Aligned Pedagogy for Primary, Secondary, A-Level, and IB English. This comprehensive training guarantees that your child masters the curriculum and is armed with elite exam strategies.
2. Mental Health-Trained: Equipped to identify exam anxiety, build resilience, and restore self-belief.

Scholars is tailor-made for:

1. High-performers who need resilience in high-pressure environments.
2. Anxious learners dealing with academic anxiety or fear of failure.
3. Disengaged students facing motivation challenges who need a spark to love learning again.
4. Students who are stuck, struggling to improve despite regular tutoring.

‍Meet Your Child’s English Mentor

Leading the English programme is Divyata Raut, a mentor who brings seven years of tuition centre experience. She holds a degree in English Language and Literature & Creative Writing from Nanyang Technological University, combined with advanced training from Stamford Classroom.

Her experience in traditional tuition centres opened her eyes to the limitations of conventional teaching methods. This realization drove her to pursue advanced pedagogical training with Stamford Classroom, learning to be a mentor and not merely an instructor.

For Divyata, learning starts with trust. By connecting with students over shared interests, whether it’s anime, music, or gaming, she creates a safe space where meaningful progress happens naturally.

Born From Real Experience

Scholars emerged from the Scholarly platform’s experience facilitating over 9,000 connections between students and tutors. This extensive dataset revealed a crucial insight: often the barrier isn’t academic, it’s emotional. Many students need holistic mentorship that addresses confidence, study strategies, and genuine connection to the material.

The programme serves students who have potential but face barriers: lack of confidence, ineffective study habits, or disconnection from their subjects. Scholars transforms these challenges into opportunities for growth, building the foundational skills and mindset that enable students to thrive long after the tutoring ends.

Scholars was built to provide the holistic mentorship that freelance tutors or crowded centres often cannot.

The Three Pillars of Scholars

What makes this programme different? It comes down to three core commitments. 

The Relatable Mentor

Academic progress stalls when students feel judged. Scholars prioritizes building trust and rapport before opening any textbook. This connection-first approach creates a safe environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, admitting confusion, and taking intellectual risks.

Stamford Classroom Training

Each Scholar receives rigorous pedagogical training aligned with both IB and MOE standards and practices. This isn't just “teaching to the test”, it's about developing thinking skills that serve students well beyond their exams. The curriculum-aligned approach ensures students master what they need while developing the analytical capabilities that define true academic competence.

Mental Health Awareness

Academic pressure in Singapore is real and often overwhelming. Scholars recognises that anxiety and self-doubt can derail even the brightest students. That's why every mentor receives training from certified psychologists, equipping them to identify stress, build resilience, and restore self-belief. 

Personalised, Flexible Home Learning

Traditional tuition centres offer group classes with limited personalisation. Freelance tutors may provide individual attention but often lack formal pedagogical training or mental health awareness. 

Scholars combines the best of both worlds: expert, IB/ MOE-aligned teaching delivered through personalised, one-to-one mentorship with a mental health-informed approach.

What this means for your child: 

• Dedicated one-on-one mentorship tailored to their unique pace and needs
• Home-based learning that eliminates travel time and creates a comfortable environment
• More actual time for learning, less stress managing schedules

‍

What Families Are Saying

The testimonials reveal consistent themes. Parents praise mentors who go beyond the minimum requirements, clarifying doubts with patience and clarity.They observe their children becoming more engaged, finding material easier to understand, and developing true confidence.

Students report that for the first time, lessons feel accessible. The combination of clear explanations and real encouragement transforms their relationship with the subject from dread to curiosity.
