Founder of All Write! English, Ms Tina is a former MOE teacher with more than18 years of experience teaching English in both government and private schools, and is a Curriculum Developer for Primary & Secondary English, ESL and Creative Writing. She is now a popular English tutor at KRTC Simei and her students travel from all parts of the island to the east of Singapore for they think she is simply, the best English tutor for them. Many enjoy the learning journey with her and have improved under her guidance. She maintains a high percentage of distinctions in PSLE English.

In 2007, she started giving tuition at KRTC Simei focusing on English composition mastery; honing skills in picture composition for Primary 3 and Primary 4 creative writing classes to critically understanding and addressing themes for Primary 5 and Primary 6 levels, ultimately gearing them up for PSLE. Her students works are showcased as model compositions on the writer’s corner in class for other students to emulate. She teaches her students to find the ‘write connection’ when penning their essays and even has a dedicated writer’s place in class for students to be inspired to write. Situational Writing is also covered with the aim of getting full marks. All these has led to her students not only improving in English and becoming super writers, but also appreciating the language as well.

Aside from creative writing, Ms Tina’s Paper 2 tuition classes and in particular, her English holiday workshops, are also always full. These focus on building skills in and applying strategies for Comprehension Open-ended, Synthesis and Transformation, Grammar and Comprehension Cloze passages as well as Vocabulary and Visual text for the Paper 2 segment. The English Oral component is also covered in her classes, with individual practice given to each student to best prepare them for the PSLE. Many find the Top Tips given to be incredibly useful and easy to follow, allowing them to score very well for their examinations.

At the same time, Ms Tina believes in having “Practical Fun” in class for her students to enjoy the learning process. To achieve this, she transforms them into journalists, newscasters, chat show hosts, writers and poets to enthuse and inspire the wordsmiths in them. This, added to the many quizzes and games, fully engages the young, inquistive and sometimes restless minds and bodies in class!

Ms Tina has guided more than 300 teachers and even more students to success, earning numerous accolades from students as well as parents. Her steadfast dedication has inspired students to develop a love for, and excel in, the English Language. She is currently writing a Bilingual Composition Guidebook to help even more students excel in not only English composition but also in Chinese composition too.

She looks forward to get even more Enthused for English. All Write!

Md Shahrin Md Said (Primary 6)

Thanks to Ms Tina and her All Write! lessons, I achieved an A* in English for my PSLE and got into the school of my choice. I even made it to the school’s debate team!

Her love for the language is infectious and I too learnt to value the connotations of words and effective use of vocabulary. My marks for composition never went below 34. She made it simple for me to understand, apply and appreciate grammar rules and i always, scored full marks for Booklet A, grammar cloze, editing and sentence synthesis.

Now, my friends call me the Grammar Nazi because I always correct their improper use of grammar when they speak. Sometimes, I correct my teachers too!

Sharafynna (Primary 6)

Ms Tina’s style of teaching is unique and helps me a lot! Whenever she knows that we are bored or tired, she will make the class a lot more fun. I now use better vocabulary and am also more detailed in my composition writing. Before attending Ms Tina’s classes, I was getting only about 23/40 for my compositions, but I now constantly score above 30/40! Ms Tina is the best teacher I have ever had!

Anjana (Primary 5)

Ms Tina is energetic, jolly, animated, cheerful and fun to work with! My vocabulary bank has increased greatly. Her clear explanations really help too! My scores for composition writing have improved from a fail to getting 32 out 40 marks! Thank you Ms Tina for being so energetic! I always look forward to coming to class!
