[ac23]

Hi Mrs Wong,

I teach from home & do travel to student’s place if the location is convenient.


You’ll see positive results when you put in effort. I personally enjoy teaching & interacting with my students. Seeing them improve motivates me to search for more resources for them!

Hi mrswongtution,


My P1 girl has a problem in expressing herself in verbal and written.
For example, she will talk in pieces and furthermore in singlish.
Have tried to correct her in most of the times but don’t think it will work for long term. Is there anything that I can do to help her?

You can correct her & make her repeat the proper sentence to you. Most children who have this problem due to lack of exposure. You can also buy those CD-ROMs that read out the story to them with words/pictures for them to follow. It's interesting & they'll be exposed to proper english.

For writing you'll need to encourage her to write often. Reading does help in both oral & written english. As I've suggested in this thread before, make your child read aloud to you
