Not every English correction should begin with the tutor. A small group can train a correction hierarchy: the student checks first, a peer checks one defined feature second, and the tutor intervenes at the deepest unresolved layer.
This second legacy Sengkang small-group page now owns one job: Self → Peer → Tutor correction hierarchy. It does not imply a current eduKate branch in every part of Sengkang; families should verify actual teaching location, timing and availability directly.
Self-Check
- reread the task;
- run one or two personal error triggers;
- check whether evidence supports the answer;
- read the sentence for complete meaning;
- identify where help is genuinely needed.
Peer Check
Peer checking should have a narrow job. “Check everything” invites copying and unreliable correction.
| Peer job | Useful question |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Which line supports this answer? |
| Paragraph job | What is this paragraph doing? |
| Clarity | Which pronoun or sentence is ambiguous? |
| Task | Is any required point missing? |
Tutor Check
The tutor verifies the deeper language relationship and corrects peer misconceptions. The tutor should also notice what students can now check without help.
Why the Hierarchy Matters
If every error goes directly to the tutor, self-monitoring never develops. If peers are treated as authorities, misconceptions can spread. The hierarchy gives each layer a bounded role.
For Sengkang Families
Confirm current eduKate class logistics directly. A useful small group should gradually move routine checking away from the tutor while keeping expert verification where it matters.
