I hold a Bachelor’s degree with double majors in English Language and Sociology, an Honours degree, and a Master’s degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS). I was a recipient of the Chng Heng Lay Memorial Prize at NUS and the NUS Research Scholarship, and have published in high-impact international journals. Over my 31 years with the Ministry of Education, I was Head of English Department and taught English at East View Secondary School, Bedok South Secondary School, and Temasek Secondary School, and was also a Senior Lecturer at Nanyang Polytechnic. For 25 years of dedicated service in teaching, I was honoured with the Long Service Medal (Pingat Bakti Setia) by the Ministry of Education at the Singapore National Day Awards in 2016. As a patient and experienced tutor, I believe every child can succeed in English with the right guidance and encouragement, and I am committed to helping my students build confidence and mastery in the subject. To support my students' progress, I provide targeted instruction that reinforces close reading, inference skills, and precise answer techniques. My approach includes proven strategies for analysing questions, identifying key textual clues, and crafting accurate, well-supported answers. I bring extensive experience in teaching the latest MOE English curricula and will provide all necessary learning materials, model compositions, practice assessments, and past years' examination papers that are fully aligned with current MOE requirements to help students build strong skills and confidence.

I was also an Assistant Professor in the English and Literature Group at NIE teaching diploma, Bachelor's and Master's students, as well as teaching at UniSIM and Republic Poly. I have taught English and Literature to students from primary to secondary to tertiary levels. Prior to these, I had taught English and Literature in Raffles Institution. I had been a researcher, with interest in developing curriculum for the teaching of English. I had successfully tested my own curriculum, the Literature-Driven English curriculum in a number of schools in Singapore. Recently, I had tutored students siting for PSLE, `O' and `A' levels, IP and IB. All of them had improved in their grades. An example would be a student failing in Literature obtained an A2 for her `O' levels after just a few months of tutoring. I like to teach the language with an eye to practicality - with an eye on how one uses the skills learnt effectively in one's writing, critical thinking and reading comprehension.
