– Palak S (Cedar Girls) | Social Studies“She prepared slides for use to better understand how to tackle comprehension as well as visual text, using acronyms that are easily to remember such as to not use REED (repetition, explanation, examples, dialogue) for summary. She would often update us with the news to keep us well informed, allowing us to widen our knowledge.”

– Elijah (WRSS) | Upper Sec English“Ms. Esther uses acronyms to teach us. I find that useful. She has always ensured that we are updated about the current affairs which always made me interested as it allows me to be in another person’s perspective when imagining such situation. It promotes one’s creativity which is essential in written examinations. Additionally, she would also provide us with some keywords to look out for when attempting questions in paper 2 like ‘identify’ or ‘in your own words’. This ensures that we do not make careless mistake in paper 2 due to carelessness.”

“Ms. Esther teaches us using different strategies for different parts, like visual text is either (do something, buy something, go somewhere). I like all the lessons, you make learning English easier and more fun cause there’s jokes. You’re great at teaching! I like having acronyms to remember on what we should do /not do when answering certain questions types (paper 1-2). She also teaches us how to unpack paper 1 questions, which helps us to think about points for writing easier (teaches us how to make a perimeter for the question).”

2020 Reviews“Ms Esther has been a wonderful and efficient teacher. She is always incredibly encouraging and and she has never let me down whenever I seek for her understanding. Her passion for the subjects she teach as well as for teaching definitely shines through. I really recommend hiring her as a tutor.”

“Esther tutored me for a little over a month before my Literature papers and I can honestly say that it was so much more helpful than the previous 2 tutors i had combined for the entire year prior! In that 1 month I gained confidence in my answering skills and learned much more than I expected to! I just finished my papers, I had fun writing and feeling good about them 10/10 recommend.”
– Chloe S | H2 Literature“Ms. Esther did dissecting of question types in paper 2 and also helped me with coming up with a planning table for paper 1. thank u for checking up on my progress for other subjects and giving advice for JC in general!!! :-)” My GP grades improved tremendously with the help of Ms Esther! Ms Esther's critical thinking skills and deep-analysis of both the essay and comprehension paper really allowed me to gain a better understanding of how to write eloquently. Her lessons were never dull and she also provides relevant non-acads advice hahaha! Thank you Ms Esther :')”

– Isabel (VJC) | General Paper“Honestly one of the best tutors I’ve ever come across. She’s been very patient and understanding to me. She’s always found efficient and effective methods to explain in detail of the subjects. Really going to miss you. Thank you so much for everything.”
– Olivia | O Level Literature & Social Studies“Ms. Esther has helped me with my H2 literature immensely. She makes sure I am consistent in my work and pushes me to do better every time. Her guidance has helped me hone my literature skills and I would definitely recommend Ms Esther for ‘A’ Level literature. Thanks so much Ms Esther!”
– Sharon S (AJC) | H2 Literature“Ms Esther had tremendously helped me in getting rid of the fear of approaching GP essay questions. She has also made me more confident in picking a question i can manage by teaching the relevant skills to do so. For example, basic steps to identify the category, focus, and contention of the question. But most importantly classifying the questions into the different groups of bigger topics so as to identify my weak and strong topics or categories. This really helped me to pick the right question when i did my A levels paper for GP. As for paper 2, her teaching of the relevant skills also helped me understand the passage better before i can do the questions like reading the passage once through and annotating at the side to summarise each paragraph for a better understanding. She has been of great help. :)”
– Claudia | A Level General Paper“She would find the weaker points and drill us on it, like in composition!”

“Ms. Esther gives a detailed explanation of the Literature text. There is nothing I did not like about her class. Please keep up your excellent tutoring.”
– Angela, parent | Sec 4 IP Literature“3 top reasons to choose Esther. 1) She enjoys teaching! Why is this good? She definitely will give her 100% effort for you. 2) Due to my circumstances, I paid her lower than the usual fee, but she still always gives me more. 3) She continually analysed my weakness and involved me in planning our classes together. I can write more, but it won't be enough to say how grateful I am. Thanks for all your help, Esther.”
– Hikma Q | Literature & General Paper“I recommend Esther for English tuition for your kids. She is very energetic and engages the kids well in her lessons.

She was also able to spot very quickly their weak points and suggest where she should focus her time on to help them. Thank you Esther!”
– ST, parent | P3 and P6 English“Esther is well versed with the MOE syllabus. My daughter enjoys her lessons as it is never dull and it is always interesting and lively.

She engages my child in discussions to draw out more output and to develop confidence in expressing himself clearly in words. Thank you Esther and we are so Glad we found you! Take care and God bless.”
– Sandi, parent | Sec 2 English2019 Reviews“When Ms. Esther introduced Situational Writing methods to me, and told me how to apply it, I guess I was... fascinated? Whenever I was confused about something (like how to write conclusion or how to write about certain topics), she would help me gain clarity.”
– Zachary D, student | NA English“Esther is a very outgoing and straightforward teacher who helped me tremendously in English Literature in the short amount of time I had. She was very patient and open-minded to any ideas I had in all the classes I had with her. She also encouraged me to believe in myself and she boosted my confidence. I will always be grateful to the time and effort she put in to help me understand my material better :) Thank you so much for your guidance Esther!”

“Esther tutored me for a year and was willing to take me in despite me being a private candidate taking Literature for the first time. She was patient and introduced to me all the books well. Not to mention, she took me in at the eleventh hour when I was looking for a replacement GP tutor. She continued to equip me with the relevant skills for the weeks leading up to the exams. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for GP & Literature tuition for A Levels to engage her!”
