About Cheryl

During my childhood, I have lived overseas in countries such as the US and China, making me a not only a tutor with strong foundations in languages but one who is culturally educated. At 13 years old, I started learning the Japanese language from scratch as a third language, which has allowed me to understand the difficulties students face when picking up a language from the beginning. Thus, I believe that I can be very understanding and am willing to patiently help students who are struggling with their work.

Throughout my secondary school years, I was consistently a D/E scorer for English and struggled a lot with the subject, so I understand the frustrations students feel when they underperform. When I came to JC to pursue my IB Diploma, I started to reflect on my mistakes and develop my own study methods, allowing me to ultimately excel in my final exams, being one of 53 students in a cohort of 400 students to score the highest grade band in English. Just last year, I received the highest score in my department for literature modules during my first year at King's College London.

Additionally, while I was in JC, I regularly volunteered at student care centres where I helped primary school students with homework. At the same time, I also worked with a non-profit organization and conducted English lessons for children of the Rohingya refugees living in Malaysia, including preparing my own lesson materials and video lessons, all of which have equipped me with plenty of teaching experience for a wide range of students.

Personally, I feel that the greatest advantage student tutors hold over certified teachers is our ability to empathize with and relate to students. Though such traits might seem largely insignificant, they play a crucial role in boosting a student’s confidence, which can indirectly affect their academic performance. Additionally, as a fresh graduate from school, I am much more familiar with the school syllabuses and can provide students with up-to-date notes and model essays from top schools.

After graduating highschool, I worked part-time at a language school, teaching English to native Japanese students, while waiting for university. I have received offers from various top universities in SG and the UK, such as Nanyang Technological University (NTU), King's College London, UCL, Edinburgh University, Durham University and more. I am currently a second year at KCL, and I hope to make the most of my time, to help every student I teach unleash their fullest potential.

Even though I have been a high scorer on the subjects I listed, I am also extremely open to helping more students who are struggling/on the low-scoring end, as I strongly believe such students deserve personalized guidance and support the most!
