“

My teacher at The Learning Board English tuition centre is very friendly and approachable. I can always ask her questions without having any fear. During classes at the centre, we learn faster than we do in school and that gives me more revision time. Best part, she also tell us funny stories to make things easier to remember.

Success Story

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, his teacher from The Learning Board's tuition programme guided Xavier to raise questions and discuss his ideas actively. Classroom interaction helped him to broaden his knowledge and overcome his shyness. As a result, his grade improved from C to A.
