Master JC General Paper with the subject experts at The Humanities Clinic
General Paper Tuition for JC Students
What is JC General Paper & Why is it Important?
General Paper (GP) is a compulsory A-Level subject that develops students’ critical thinking, writing skills, and global awareness. GP challenges students to analyse global issues, evaluate perspectives, and construct clear, well-reasoned essays.
Many students struggle with essay structure, argument development, and comprehension skills, making it essential to learn proven writing techniques and effective answering strategies. Unlike other humanities subjects, GP is highly application-based, requiring students to evaluate real-world events, craft well-supported arguments, and demonstrate nuanced perspectives.
At The Humanities Clinic, our JC GP tuition program equips students with structured essay-writing skills, effective comprehension techniques, and updated content knowledge to help them score well in Paper 1 & Paper 2.

Common Challenges Students Face in General Paper
& How We Solve Them
The Humanities Clinic Solution:
Structured Content Notes with Relevant Case Studies!
GP covers a vast range of topics, and students often feel overwhelmed by too much information or uncertain about which examples to use.
We help students by:
✅ Providing structured notes with pre-selected relevant and updated global examples for easy application.
✅ Teaching how to tailor examples to different types of essay questions.
✅ Showing how to balance breadth vs. depth when selecting case studies.
“I don’t know what kind of examples to use in my GP essays!”
The Humanities Clinic Solution:
Targeted Answering Techniques for Precision!
Many students lose marks due to imprecise answers in Paper 2. This is often due to poor comprehension strategies, inaccurate paraphrasing, or weak application question techniques.
We help students by:
✅ Teaching step-by-step methods for answering short-answer questions and the application question.
✅ Training students to identify key ideas and craft precise, well-structured responses.
✅ Strengthening paraphrasing techniques to ensure clarity and accuracy.
“I struggle with comprehension & application questions in Paper 2!”
The Humanities Clinic Solution:
Layered Argumentation Techniques for Stronger Essays!
GP requires strong evaluation and critical thinking, but many students write ‘flat’ or generic arguments that lack depth.
We help students by:
✅ Teaching step-by-step techniques for developing multi-layered arguments.
✅ Training students to evaluate perspectives effectively and offer nuanced insights.
✅ Helping students incorporate rebuttals and counterarguments to strengthen their essays.
“I don’t know how to evaluate arguments effectively in essays!”
The Humanities Clinic Solution:
Concise & Structured Study Materials!
Many students believe GP cannot be studied, but without a structured approach, they struggle to retain general knowledge or apply relevant insights in exams.
We help students by:
✅ Providing concise and structured content notes that filter out unnecessary information.
✅ Teaching how to extract key ideas from long readings and apply them efficiently.
✅ Curating targeted general knowledge updates to ensure students stay informed without information overload.
“School readings are too long and overwhelming—I don’t know how to study for GP!”
