XAVIER TAN, PRIMARY 6

Xavier was a 12 years old boy preparing for his PSLE. He was struggling to express himself clearly and had little confidence in his writing.

​Within 4 months, The Learning Board guided Xavier to raise questions and discuss his ideas actively. Activities in class helped him to broaden his knowledge and bring out his best. As a result, his grade improved from C to A.
