Testimonials from Parents and Students
1.Brenda (Parent of Ken & Kate: Palm View Primary School)
Group Tuition of 2 at Brenda’s place.
“Mdm Teo is dedicated, highly structured, and thoroughly prepared. She has an innate ability to motivate children to break past their perceived limits. Both my son Ken and daughter Kate achieved A* in their PSLE Chinese (Ken in 2019, Kate in 2020). My daughter's Chinese score remarkably exceeding her English result!"
2.Linda (Parent of Kevin: Palm View Primary School)
Group Tuition of 2 at Mdm Teo’s place. Mdm Teo was recommended to me by my sister: Brenda. Kevin’s PSLE results surprisingly ranked first: AL3, among all four of his subjects! Chinese pulled up his overall score significantly. Kevin is currently in Secondary 2, he chose to continue his learning journey with Mdm Teo when she expanded her tuition program to include secondary school students.
He is now continuing Secondary school tuition class with Mdm Teo, who has already set a clear target for him to aim for an A1 in his O-Levels."

4.Mrs Tan (Parent of Jason: Palm View Primary School)
1:1 Tuition at Mdm Teo’s place. “Mdm Teo was my elder daughter's tutor for PSLE in 2019. When my son Jason started P6, I enrolled him with her.

I was overwhelmed with joy and called Mdm Teo personally to thank her for helping Jason make this possible."
5.Mrs Chong (Parent of Kimberly: CHIJ Toa Payoh)

A Grade in O-Level Higher Chinese (HCL) & Distinction in Oral. “张老师好！我今天收到了会考成绩，我的快捷华文/高级华文拿到了 A，口试获得了 Distinction！我相信如果在小学时没有您为我打下的坚固基础，我不会得到今天的成就。谢谢您的教导！" (Translation: I received my O-Level results today—A for HCL and Distinction for Oral!

Because of her warm, firm, and caring approach, Elijah grew to enjoy the language and never wanted to miss a lesson."
9.Mr Sik (Parent of Bernice: CHIJ OLGC)
Group Tuition of 2 at Mdm Teo’s place. “Bernice score jumped from 49% to 76.5% within 3 months in P4; went on to score AL2 in PSLE. The oral recording homework Mdm Teo assigns has dramatically improved both my children's reading and conversational depth—building real confidence in a family where Mandarin isn't spoken often at home.
