What Our Educator Says
English is a complex language. For some, it may be a difficult subject to grasp. With so many rules and exceptions, it does take a lot of effort to become proficient. As a student, I struggled in school too: English was such a challenge to me. Although I enjoyed books and was heavily involved in Speech and Drama, I just could not excel in the written exams. Now as a teacher, I know that with the right approach and attitude, it is possible to make the learning process both fun and productive for my students. It was only when I started teaching did I find myself enjoying English more and immersing myself in it. Full of nuances, puns, creative expressions, and idioms, these make teaching the language even more enjoyable!
My aim as a teacher is to provide a well-balanced, supportive and engaging learning environment for all my students. On top of just mastering grammar and vocabulary, the goal is to nurture life-long learners and equip them with the skills necessary to communicate meaningfully, and express themselves confidently and effectively, both inside and outside the classroom.
