Yes, we will. Last year's Cambridge Exam Prep Courses received outstanding feedback from both parents and students. The small class (capped under 10 students) and private tutoring ensured that each student received individual attention, and the teachers dedicated specific time to address students' questions, helping them perform better in the exams. After the release of the CIE results at the beginning 2026, many parents shared that the Exam Prep Course was highly effective, significantly contributing to students' excellent performance in last year's Cambridge Exams. In response to requests from parents and students, Peak Education will continue to offer the Exam Prep Courses in 2026. These courses will be scheduled during Module/Term 3.
Cambridge Revision and Exam Preparation Courses: 20th July – 16th August
