General 

We were established in 2020 when the pandemic hit the country severely. However, we have made great progress as we understand the struggles faced from both students and the parents. Our students made tremendous progress with us hence the great confidence their parents have for Genesis Excel Academy.

It is only natural for the school to evolve as technology progresses.

Our classes are mostly conducted physically and will switch to online when it is deemed necessary. However, we do conduct online classes for selected subjects and overseas students. In fact, we have students across Malaysia and overseas that opt for onlines classes only.

Everyone has a different learning style, interests, abilities, and challenges and will react differently to various teaching methods.

Still, in GEA we ensure that each student is given a fair chance of attention and hence each classroom  has a suitable number of students to optimise participation. Most importantly we made learning fun instead of a burden.

We work closely with parents to regularly discuss your child's development and find out a way to help your child in dealing with the challenges faced during learning. Thus, contact methods including whatsapp or direct calling will be used as a means of regular communication.

Thus, it goes without saying that the subject is exponentially harder when compared to English as a Second Language (ESL). FEL relies heavily on the student’s writing ability, critical thinking, and last but not least, speaking articulately. 

Keep in mind that choosing either FEL or ESL bears no consequences in their university application. However, if you still have questions for this matter, feel free to contact us for more clarification.
