RE: All About Getting Help for Students Weak in English
Noted this thread has not been alive for a while but nonetheless I’m posting here in case any parent is keen for help in English.
Honestly, we do not expect all tutors to magically churn out A grades for our kids and I must say, parents & the child need to play a bigger role in the learning process. For mastery of English, obviously, exposing to a good all-rounded English environment for reading, listening & speaking are critical. Good result needs to be earned through time & hard work.
Some of the mummies in my son’s secondary school’s parent support group whom I’m close to, managed to get this wonderful tutor & I heard their kids are doing well.
Most of his students start from P5 all the way to O levels. Early head start is always good. My son managed to have his English tutored by this wonderful tutor who is more like a life coach. As he is home-based, I know my son gets refreshment or even lunch (from time to time) if he gets there late after school. It’s a homely environment that you don’t get from centre-based tuition & obviously it’s full attention for a 1:1.
I’m not sure if any parents need his contact or whether he still has slots. Remember, if your kid needs a motivation coach & is willing to put in the hard work, willing to come for tuition on time & respect his time, you can try to connect with him. His number is 97545328. Good luck! -
RE: O-Level English
From a parent to another parent, we do worry a lot for our kids especially for O levels prep. My son completed his O level just last year & I do pop by this website to see what I can help whenever I can. English is one of the most important subject as mastering English well will also help with other subjects. Sometimes, basic terms or key words are not well-understood, it will affect the way the answer is structured. We have been blessed with a good English tutor since my son was in P5, and he really goes beyond the role of a tutor. He does life coaching! My son has been inspired & motivated with every lesson (how rare was that!). His tutor will usually ask how their day has been & will provide life story & learning points to help them with their coping skills. I was so thankful to this tutor as sometimes my son will end school later & will rush to his place for tution without lunch. Our home-based tutor will get his helper to prepare lunch for my boy if my boy hasn’t eaten yet! Yes, the tuition is held at his place, which is not too far from my son’s school. Having said that, the tutor doesn’t even accept extra fees for the extra lunch or snacks he provides. We feel bad & always chided our boy to eat heavier recess on days he has tuition after class. As parents, all we can do is not to cancel classes last minute, as these affect the home-based tutor’s “monthly salary”. My friends always tell me tuition centre is good but which tuition centre will prepare lunch or provide life coaching skills without us asking for it. We went to a few tuition centres but classes were too big to focus on my son.
We do not expect all tutors to magically churn out A grades for our kids and I must say, parents & the child need to play a bigger role in the learning process. Good result needs to be earned through sheer hard work. Now, some of the mummies in my son’s secondary school’s parent support group whom I’m close to, managed to get this wonderful tutor & I heard the kids are doing well. Most of his students start from P5 all the way to O levels. Early head start is always good. Don’t expect magic if we we do anticipate he’ll needed early.
I’m not sure if any parents need his contact or whether he still has slots. Remember, if your kid needs a motivation coach & is willing to put in the hard work, willing to come for tuition on time & respect his time, you can try to connect with him. He is based in Bishan. Near Catholic high. His number is 97545328. Good luck! -

RE: All About Finding & Evaluating Tutors
By the way, this tutor is also specialized in English for primary & secondary. He helped my younger son move up his grades to an A for PSLE.

RE: All About Finding & Evaluating Tutors
I know of a tutor who is good with students with slower learners who need different learning approaches. His specialty is in English, Econs, business law, management, accounting & Statistics.
This tutor has helped my daughter who has been taking Diploma in Business Studies. She has not been performing well in Econs, Accounting & Business Law.
I must say he’s a god sent as I didn’t know he can teach a few subjects not just 1. Hence, when my daughter got problems with an assignment, this tutor could adjust and plan the schedule to cater more time on the assignment which was graded. He is extremely flexible and most importantly patient. My daughter is not easy to teach as well and doesn’t do well in Group tuition as she is a lot slower than others. So far, I must say he has really performed miracle for my daughter. I thought she’s going to fail a few subjects which she did in her first year and had to retake a few modules. She tried a few tutors and Group tuition without success. We were pretty desperate. My colleague told me about a tutor that has been coaching her son who is taking a degree in business admin. Her son too has been struggling with the assignments. He went from fail to a B. Her son started to read up more and was more motivated in his studies. I then decided to it a go and was so glad to get this tutor who coincidentally is trained in motivational skills and could tailor his teaching style according to the student’s learning style. I thought it will be useful for people to know that there are such tutors around…rare & cannot possibly find such dedicated tutor. I’m lucky to get him to coach my child. So, parents don’t give up hope on your child or keep sending the kids to the best enrichment classes with no results. You can whatsapp him at 97545328 to check for his available schedule & rates. -
RE: [Bishan] Tutors/Tuition Centres/Enrichment
I know of an English tutor who is good with students with slower learning abilities. He has performed miracle for my best friend’s daughter whom many teachers have given up. The girl was always failing her English even though she went to the best English enrichment classes. In the end, although it was short 6 months, she managed to obtain an A for her PSLE. We were surprised too. My friend told me this tutor is trained in motivational skills and tailor his teaching according to the child’s learning style. So, I also got this tutor for my son for his PSLE last year although his schedule is already full. Thank god, I did that, my son who has no confidence in his compre & compo, improved from a B to an A. Before this, he was in a popular tuition Centre for years.
I thought it will be useful for people to know that there are such dedicated tutors around…so don’t give up hope on your child or keep sending the kids to the best enrichment classes with no results.

Some kids are better with 1:1 tuition where the tutor can tailor the child’s learning style accordingly; duration & intensity of lessons can be adjusted too.
You can whatsapp him at 97545328 to check out his available schedule & rates. Oh by the way, my friend told me he covers mostly the northern areas (Bishan, Toa Payoh, AMK, Yishun, YCK). -
