The Optimal Flow Method™

In traditional learning environments, pieces of a subject are often taught in isolation. This makes it very hard for students to grasp an overview or make connections between units – they learn content without understanding it.

As a result, students may feel overwhelmed by information when revising, which in turn leads to poor performance on exams.

The Optimal Flow Method™, on the other hand, helps students connect new information to concepts they have already learnt for a new and more complete understanding. The method factors in how the brain learns best and then plays to its strengths.

With their newfound ability to connect new concepts to existing knowledge, students can now face the PSLE with the utmost confidence.
