Hi, hhpjhappy and thumbelina. Have sent pm to you.


An update from one of my friends who contacted Ms Serena recently. She is not taking in any more P6 pupils as PSLE is just two to three months away. My friend had wanted to send her girl to Ms Serena’s place for lessons as PSLE is around the corner. However, Ms Serena gave her some suggestions on how to help her girl during this period.

Have PM you.

Got a few pm to share more on how composition is taught by Ms Serena. She would expose my DS to good phrases used in story books by authors. Once, my DS was very excited when he read a book by Roald Dahl (can’t remember the title of the book). He told me excitedly that he was taught a few phrases on feelings from the book. I was happy to see him so excited. I was happy to see that he developed the love for writing after having lessons with Ms Serena. He was always "pestering" Ms Serena, asking her if they would write another composition. His compositions improved and he was scoring above 30 consistently in P6. The transformation was amazing as he used to hate writing Think Ms Serena has started a blog but I can’t remember the address.

Hi,


I’m a new stressed newbie. My daughter will be in P6 next year and my son in P4. I am looking for a reliable tuition centre in Woodlands, not sure between Mind Stretchers, Mind Matters and Learning Lab. Also, any recommended tutors.

Can someone PM me Ms Serena’s number too.

Thanks

Firstly I must say a BIG THANK YOU to parent-in-west for sharing Serena. I got to know Serena thru her in this forum thru PM. My kid said Serena is the BEST TEACHER EVER for English - Oral, Compo and all the English Paper 2 components. All my friends are so grateful for her dedication and passion with our kids... cos the transformation is really amazing... esp for creative writing and oral. Paper 2 - she is so thorough and super-kiasu (more so than anyone of us)... however kids being kids... they can be careless. In her blog, I saw she reproduced the modified version of some of the Synthesis questions for this year PSLE English. U can pick up some of the other Science stuff in her blog too.


Here's Serena's blog address

and her email address [email protected]

I don't think it is good to put her HP nbr here.

AND YES she only teaches in the West. Mind you, my kid and I travelled to her every Sunday early morning since late December till week before PSLE… my kid and his friends would say she is really worth it. We don’t have a car… took a bus… walk a distance from the bus stop (for us).
