Mrs Yeo was the first batch of teachers at The Learning Lab, having groomed hundreds of GEP students and top-tier students from mainstream schools. In the 12 years that she was there, she also headed its English curriculum department and mentored numerous teachers. At the Lab, her responsibilities and portfolio included:
* Writing and supervising the English curricula and resources across primary and secondary levels;
* Educating hundreds of students from both the GEP and top-tier mainstream schools. Many students tend to stay in her classes for as much as 8 years, and blossom under her care and guidance. Some of these students have gone on to receive scholarships, while others have graduated and are now top lawyers, aspiring doctors or prominent leaders in their own industries.
* Mentored several English teachers, many of whom are well-respected in their field today.
Mrs Yeo brings to Creative Campus over 25 years’ experience in English instruction and curriculum development across the Primary and Secondary levels. Engaging students to learn and inspiring them to discover is second nature to Mrs Yeo. As an ex-MOE teacher, she has more than 20 years of teaching experience in both the public and private sectors.
With her publishing experience, Mrs Yeo has a particular sensitivity for effectual use of English. She is well-regarded in the publishing industry as writer and editor of various periodicals and journals.

On nurturing an inquisitive mind:
“My students often ask me why we are discussing social studies, economics, science, math, history or even politics, when we are supposed to be just learning English. My answer is this: English is not merely about grammar, model responses, or a subject to ace in the exams. The students’ ability to communicate their ideas effectively transcends subjects. Having a convincing personal voice, be it written or spoken, is a skill we want to inculcate in our students. Only then can they stand out from the competition.
Students at Creative Campus are exposed to current affairs every week. Our teachers encourage their charges to relate a plethora of topics to real-life issues, even from as young as Primary 1. We believe students should always question assumptions, and develop clarity of thought that is clear and coherent. These are done in the safe confines of a group setting, where they can also bounce ideas off their peers, and come to their own well-formulated, substantiated and concrete conclusions.
Learning should be fun. While there are basic components that have to be covered in a lesson, we introduce a wide range of thought-provoking themes for our custom-developed curriculum. It is always a joy to see children leave the room with wide smiles on their faces, and the first thing they say to their parents goes something like, “Did you know that…”
Language competency and the ability to apply theory to practice is a life skill, something that students will constantly find relevant, even long after their last class at Creative Campus. That, in itself, is the best reward our teachers can receive.” ~ Elizabeth Yeo, 2016
"Mrs Yeo has played a fundamental role in my development as a reader, writer and speaker. Not only did she aid in expanding my vocabulary, but she has sparked off my insatiable interest in language and written work. This interest has helped me to attain significant academic prowess and more importantly, enriched myself as I am better able to communicate with others, both in written and oral forms. Although many of my peers cringe at the prospect of tuition, Mrs Yeo’s ability to inject fun and laughter into the dullest of topics made me look forward to every class. Most importantly, she has instilled in me an interest in the world at large, a fundamental requirement for students taking the General Paper. Thank you Mrs Yeo, for the invaluable guidance."
