As a parent, I am incredibly grateful to Ms.Philo, as we fondly call her. She has had an incredible impact on my daughter's child’s education and love for the English language. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching have truly made a difference in my child's academic growth and confidence. From the beginning, Ms.Philo had created a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to express themselves and improve their skills. Ms.Philo has also built an amazing level of confidence and trust with my daughter and she feels comfortable sharing her feelings with her which is extremely beautiful to see. Ms.Philo, recognizes my daughter's strengths and helps her with her weakness through detailed feedbacks and customised workplans. We are very appreciative of the efforts Ms.Philo puts in to ensure that her students achieve their full potential. Thank you Ms.Philo!

Ms. Samuel is a well-qualified English tutor who is familiar with the syllabi of both international and local schools. She teaches phonics (for younger learners), grammar, writing, and comprehension. For students looking to switch schools, she prepares them for school entrance exams. She tailors her lessons to the needs of each individual student. Always well-prepared, she maximizes the learning achieved in each session. After every lesson, she provides a detailed report to keep parents informed. Ms. Samuel puts her heart into teaching, is well-organized, and highly responsible. She also considers feedback from parents and is willing to work with families to achieve their goals. I am pleased to offer her my recommendation.

Mrs Philo's classes are very structured and clear. She is very patient and provides detailed notes and feedback after each class. Homework is assigned after each class and marked with detailed comments. This helps Jensen and Grayson develop and get used to the UK curriculum.
