Tutor’s Teaching Background

I hold a Bachelor's degree with double majors in English Language and Sociology, an Honours degree, and a Master's degree in Sociology 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. I have also published in high impact, peer-reviewed international journals. Additionally, I hold Grade 8 certificates in Music Theory and Piano from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (UK). As an undergraduate, I taught English as a relief teacher at East View Secondary School, Bedok South Secondary School, and Temasek Secondary School during my long vacations. I have been a Senior Lecturer at Nanyang Polytechnic, where I dedicated 31 years to teaching under the Ministry of Education. I was Head of English Department and led the English Programme, and have taught courses in English, Communication and Classical Music. For 25 years of contributions to teaching in the public service, I was awarded the Long Service Medal (Pingat Bakti Setia) at the Singapore National Day Awards in 2016. I bring extensive experience in teaching the latest MOE English syllabus and ensure that each of my sessions includes learning materials and assessments fully aligned with current MOE requirements.
