Secondary English Tuition in Singapore

Dear Mr Jeremiah - today is the last day of school for M and I want to take this time to thank you for all your guidance and support . She often tells us about how patient and kind you are. Despite being one of the youngest in the class, you have never made her feel that she is not good enough. Because your responses and corrections are always so gentle, she is not afraid to try, even if it means making mistakes and then learn from them. Beyond imparting knowledge, your deliberate effort to be online at least fifteen minutes before every lesson so that you could chat and build relationships with your students is really commendable too. M received her progress report today and she told she's the only one in class who has managed an A1 for English. I want to share this good news with you because you are an integral part of her learning and she couldn't have come this far without your support and unceasing encouragement. In her words, "I've learn five times more in the two hours at Academia than when I am in school the whole week". Although she has to switch to a Saturday class next year due to schedule conflict. I am really thankful that she was able to learn from you. Your emphasis on nuances has sharpened her greatly and has built an even stronger foundation. You are a tremendous blessing indeed. Thank you once again for everything, I wish you the very best and joy as you continue to impact lives at your job.

I am truly grateful for the dedication and support that Ms. Koh has provided to my son, V. She is an excellent English teacher who guides him with patience and care at every step. Her encouragement and motivation have made a positive impact on his learning journey. Additionally, Ms. Koh helped V review his Commonwealth Essay and provided invaluable feedback, which greatly contributed to his success. Thanks to her guidance, he was awarded the Silver Award in the competition. I also appreciate her effort to keep me updated weekly on V's progress after each class. Ms. Koh's commitment to her students and her proactive communication make her a remarkable educator. We are extremely grateful for her support and guidance.

Having had the privilege of being taught by Mr Olivier from Secondary 2 to the end of my tertiary education journey in Junior College, I can earnestly attest that his teaching has transformed my proficiency in the English language. An incredibly dynamic and engaging educator, Mr Olivier uses diverse teaching methods ranging from multimedia resources to interactive class discussions to liven the classroom. Having struggled in secondary school with writing well-developed essays, Mr. Olivier’s consistent exam-focused guidance and meticulously structured essay packs were pivotal in refining my writing — breaking down complex themes and writing structures into manageable steps whilst incorporating relevant current affairs to fuel our understanding. His methodical approach to tackling comprehension questions further honed my ability to dissect texts and construct nuanced arguments. Beyond that, Mr Olivier was deeply committed to our improvement in examinations, dedicating time to review our schoolwork to provide thorough, constructive feedback that significantly improved my performance in examinations, helping me grow tremendously as both a writer and a critical thinker. Under his mentorship, my linguistic and literary insights expanded significantly, sharpening my ability to analyse, critique, and communicate with clarity and nuance. This enabled me to often rank among the top of my cohort in written examinations, excelling in both the General Paper and Literature in English subject at the A Levels.

Ms Chermain, thank you for fostering a love of learning in my child. After attending your lessons, H has improved on her English significantly. Looking forward to her PSLE results. Your dedication and passion for teaching have made a significant impact on my child's education. I appreciate your efforts in helping my child develop strong language skills. You've made English class enjoyable and engaging. Thank you! Your guidance and support have helped my child grow as a writer and thinker.

Dear Mr Loh, I am C, from your P6 class of 202x. I am delighted to inform you that I have received the Prime Minister's Book Prize award in recognition of outstanding achievement in bilingual studies in the PSLE. Therefore, I am writing this email to express my immense gratitude for your wonderful lessons, which have strengthened my proficiency in the English language. They have been extremely beneficial to me in my preparation for the PSLE. Thank you so much!

I can say without a shadow of doubt that Dr Coomber is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had the privilege of learning from. He is extremely good at his job— his detailed essay packs and structured lessons speak for themselves, as do the nuanced and highly specific skill sets he teaches his students. Constantly aware of all his students’ strengths and weaknesses, he knows exactly how to help each and every one of them improve, as well as how to help them gain confidence in their own abilities. The resources he provides are incredibly useful, and the wide range of topics discussed in class allows students to explore areas that they would typically avoid, providing them with the broad worldview essential to excel at GP. Personally, Dr Coomber’s lessons were something I always looked forward to, for I always left feeling like I’d learnt something valuable, and improved as a student in one way or another— be it exploring a topic I was previously unfamiliar with, or gaining insight about something I knew well. I will always be thankful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented teacher, and for the fact that he sparked a genuine interest and love for the subject in me. I believe that learning with Dr Coomber is not simply something that keeps you well-equipped to tackle the GP A-levels, but also something that provides you awareness, skills and sensitivity of thought that will last you the rest of your life.

Mr. Matthew Low is a very patient, understanding, and insightful teacher, with vast experience in teaching literature. His personalized style of teaching ensured that I not only improved in my literary analysis skills but also developed a genuine appreciation for literature. Mr. Low took the time to tailor his guidance to help me approach texts with deeper insight and critical thinking. He has an exceptional ability to break down complex passages into manageable segments, uncovering the intricate details that shaped my overall understanding and widened my horizons on literary texts. Additionally, he introduced me to various alternative perspectives, helping me to see literature from multiple angles and to appreciate the richness of diverse interpretations. In his classroom, Mr. Low fostered an open-minded environment where I felt comfortable sharing ideas freely. He always encouraged us to explore our interpretations without fear of judgment, which made discussions engaging and thought-provoking. I am deeply grateful for his support and dedication, and I would highly recommend him to any student looking to excel in literature.

Academia has shaped my passion and love for the English language, and it goes far beyond just a tuition centre. This is especially so with the top-notch tutors, such as my teacher in secondary school, Mr Azrael, who has provided unwavering support throughout my whole secondary school journey. He is a highly motivated teacher who helps his students reach beyond their potential, willingly marking my myriad of extra essays and giving helpful feedback during the multiple oral consultations. He has truly laid the foundation of my appreciation of English by imparting valuable skills and knowledge.

Dr Coomber is a patient, dedicated and extremely experienced teacher. His wealth of knowledge is remarkable and he is able to break down difficult concepts for me to understand and he has helped me to master the format of GP papers, as well as increased the breadth of my general knowledge and piqued a genuine interest in the subject of GP and the current affairs of the world. Not only did I gain valuable skills of writing through Dr Coomber's lessons, I also was able to change my perspective of the world and hone soft skills of communication and critical thinking. I enjoyed every single one of Dr Coomber's lessons and none of them were ever a bore, and truly looked forward to each of his classes. Thank you, Dr Coomber, for helping me to improve my GP grades from Cs and Ds to As, for teaching me patiently and caring about me as a person and going the extra mile to make summary notes and revision packages for us, which were very useful. I really appreciate you! Would highly recommend Dr Coomber to any student struggling with GP/English.

Mr. Matthew is an exceptionally patient, dedicated, and experienced teacher. His impressive knowledge and ability to simplify complex concepts have greatly helped me in analysing and structuring my literature essays, sparking a genuine interest in literature. Through his lessons, I gained valuable writing and critical thinking skills. I thoroughly enjoyed every class and always looked forward to them. Thank you, Mr. Matthew, for helping me improve my literature grades from Bs to As in IP English, and 6s to 7s in IB Literature, for your patient teaching, and for caring about me as a person. I am also very grateful for his support in helping me transition smoothly from the Singapore IP system to the IB system. I highly recommend Mr. Matthew to any student seeking to enhance their grades, performance, or fundamental skills in critical thinking and literature.
