As I was scrolling through the forum, I noticed a trend in the type of questions popping up: How can my child increase his/ her chances of receiving confirmed offers during the DSA process? Are there any tips or tricks when dealing with DSA interviews? With only a few months left, is there anything else my child can work on to help him ace his/ her PSLE? Should my child choose the International Baccalaureate or Integrated Programme? Just 2 years ago, I too was unsure on how to secure spots in my dream schools through the DSA, how to make use of the last few months leading up to the PSLE to ensure best results, as well as which programme/ school would best suit me. I believe that had I been given the chance to speak to someone who was familiar with and recently experienced such dilemma, the DSA, PSLE and school selection process would have been significantly easier for me. As such, I’m open to having one to one sessions (via online platforms given the current situation) with parents and their kids who are interested to find out firsthand from someone who has gone through the DSA process, stressed over PSLE preparation and picking the right secondary school. These is my "portfolio" as well as areas I can offer advice in or share about:


1. Top PSLE scorer in one of Singapore’s top primary schools- scored above 275, A* in all 4 subjects, obtained distinction for HCL [useful tips for last minute PSLE preparation specific to each subject, useful guidebooks]
2. Applied to 3 schools via DSA and received confirmed offers from all schools- 2 IP schools & 1 IB school [tips and tricks for DSA interviews in order to stand out from other candidates]
3. Currently enrolled in a school offering IP and have many close friends currently in schools offering IB- ACSI, MGS, etc as well as other IP schools- RGS, SCGS, etc. [ IB vs. IP, life of an IP student, which school best suits your child based on his/ her strengths]
