Read more dedicated and passionate teacher. Ms Tammy is extremely proactive, responsive, and always keeps parents updated with weekly progress notes. She truly cares for her students and consistently goes the extra mile — from offering additional lessons during exam periods to compiling oral topics from multiple schools and sharing them promptly to support her students’ preparation. Her feedback is always timely, thorough, and constructive, with clear action steps that help students improve.

Read more TAS to be the most effective in terms of their materials and quality of teachers. All their materials are carefully curated, complied and updated yearly. The comprehension and answer key booklets for example are impressive. The answer booklet does not only just provide the answers (like most enrichment centres do), they actually impart the skills and techniques and even the commonly-made mistakes of each question with explanations of why the answers are not accepted. You can imagine how much painstaking work is behind this. My son attended the September holiday PSLE Comprehension Booster class taught by Teacher Tammy. Teacher Tammy is a gifted teacher with a flair and a passion for the English language. She was able to make complex comprehension skills understandable and engaging to my son. Teacher Tammy cares that everyone in class understands and goes to great lengths to do so, even ensuring everyone is seated in a way that no one is left behind in a lesson. She is also warm, supportive and caring. Beyond that, she even went the extra mile to check on students outside lesson time and took it upon herself to help in areas where she was not required to. She is a very dedicated and committed teacher who is passionate about her students as well as her teaching … a real gem!
