Student Testimonial: Joshua Kee (P3 to IB Year 5, 2024)

Teacher Joyce is an outstanding teacher who carries out effective lessons and provides advanced notes that always helped me stay ahead of the curve. She has been incredibly consistent throughout her teaching me from P3 to Year 5 IB.  During PSLE, she gave summarized yet effective oral notes and practices, an extremely comprehensive list of composition phrases and good comprehension practices. The high standard was maintained even as I did O levels and finally, the IB exams.  Through different approaches such as concise explanations, practice sessions, memorizing notes and in- depth discussions, I gained a well-rounded understanding in Chinese and have been able to consistently score well. In addition, she is very personable and easy to understand, explaining things in English when necessary, yet encouraging me to speak in Chinese throughout lessons to maintain my language proficiency and push me beyond my comfort zone when learning. She is truly a brilliant teacher, and I woul...

Student Testimonial: Ezann Yip (P5 to JC1, 2023)

Ever since I started attending her tuition classes in Primary 5, my Chinese skills have flourished. Thanks to her unwavering dedication, my grades soared from a C to an A in last year's A levels! I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to her as my Chinese tutor.  Beyond her patience and care, her warm and supportive demeanor is evident in her consistent check-ins on my progress and willingness to assist whenever necessary. Without her guidance, I wouldn't have achieved the level of proficiency I have today. - Ezann Yip, JC2, Jurong Pioneer Junior College

Teacher Joyce was very patient and dedicated in helping me improve. She always gave her 100% during lessons, and even outside of lessons she was open to answering any questions I had.  Overall, she made learning Chinese a lot more fun and less daunting.

Student Testimonial: Yiru (P5 to IGCSC Year 4, 2023)

Teacher Joyce provided resources that my teachers in school didn’t provide, also helped in specific areas that I was weak in. Thank you, Teacher Joyce

Student testimonial: Kayley (2020-2022)

Teacher Joyce helped me with my Chinese from Primary 4-6. She gave me a lot of tips and advice on study techniques and how to score in examinations too. She has so much genuine care and concern for her students that she never fails to go the extra mile if I needed her to give me extra practice or repeat what she had taught. She guided me in setting realistic goals for my examinations while pushing me to my limit. When I didn’t do well in my examinations, she encouraged me to do better in the next one.  Thank you, Teacher Joyce, for your help all these years!

Student testimonial: Kate P6 (2023)

Hi Teacher Joyce,  We are really thankful and grateful to have you accepting my girl at a late stage in PSLE preparation. The last few months of your teaching had helped her stayed focus till the day before exam. Your notes for compo and vocabulary were also very helpful for her to apply in her paper 1 and paper 2. Thank you for partnering me to help my girl especially towards the end. I appreciate you and highly recommend to other parents as well.  Thank you, teacher!

Parent testimonial: Yikai and Yikang (2023 P1 and P4, Rosyth)

Testimonial for Teacher Joyce. My boys grew up overseas so they did not receive a proper Chinese Language education. When we returned to Singapore, my older son was to start P4 and my younger son P1.  When we first returned, my older boy could understand only simple spoken Chinese and say a few simple words. He could also recognize and write some simple Chinese characters. However, he could not write even one simple Chinese sentence or read a simple passage on his own. So he was definitely far from the Singapore school standards.  Despite the seemingly insurmountable challenge, especially with my P4 boy, Teacher Joyce put in her best efforts and was endlessly encouraging towards both my boys. She taught the older boy essential technical skills that he needed to bridge the gap he had from missing all the years of foundational Chinese education. Not just the technical skills but also the right attitude. My older boy was initially so overwhelmed by the demands of picking up an al...
