Parents' Testimonials
"I was recommended by a friend to go to Teacher Esther when I was desperate to get help for my son with his Chinese. He was struggling with Chinese in Secondary One. At that time, Teacher Esther’s tuition schedule was already full, but when I told her about my son’s situation, she was so kind and tried her best to squeeze him into her busy schedule. I am truly grateful.
Teacher Esther’s strong emphasis on vocabulary really helped my son remember the words, understand their meanings, and learn how to use them correctly in sentence construction. He has improved significantly in Chinese. She is a patient and motivating tutor, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a good Chinese teacher. Thank you, Teacher Esther!"
Corrin
Mother of Kendrick (Marsiling Secondary)
"Teacher Esther has been teaching my two boys since they were young, and we’re so thankful to have her. As a mixed-race family with no Chinese spoken at home, we were concerned about their learning journey—but she made it not only possible, but enjoyable. Her patience, structure, and use of her own proprietary Chinese learning cards have kept the boys engaged and motivated. Under her care, they’ve grown confident in the language and are doing well in school. Highly recommended for parents looking for a dedicated and effective Chinese tutor."
Eunice
Mother of Luka and Liam (St Andrew's Junior School)
"My children have benefitted greatly from learning Mandarin with Teacher Esther. This is reflected in their increased abilities in recognizing, pronouncing and utilizing the Chinese vocabulary learnt via Teacher Esther’s effective method of using the HYQ word cards. Having a greater vocabulary has a direct correlation to their level of comprehension. I am pleased with their learning outcomes."

Mother of Nino and Lili (Jiemin Primary School)
"My daughter Alexis started taking classes from Teacher Esther at the end of P5. Teacher Esther was recommended to us by a friend. Teacher Esther‘s teaching style is very structured and systematic. She follows the school syllabus closely, which not only reinforces what my daughter learns in school but also help her understand the 词语 better. Teacher Esther’s card pairing exercises also make learning vocabularies more interesting and fun. Teacher Esther is not only committed but is also a caring and observant teacher. She cares about the well being of my daughter, spends time talking to and motivating her, always providing me with feedback on her observations on Alexis. This open communication and joint effort between the teacher and parent has greatly helped us manage this tough PSLE/ Covid year as a family. We are glad to have found you Teacher Esther!"

"Teacher Esther has taught my two boys, Shane and Riley since lower primary. She has a fun and approachable way which my boys enjoy lessons with her especially with the innovation of the pairing cards. As they started from a young age, a good foundation was established which resulted in consistent and improving grades despite the challenges and difficulties each year presents. Thank you for your patience and guidance in teaching them and I am confident they will both go a long way with the strong foundation you have established with them."

Jacqueline
Mother of Janelle (St Margaret's Primary School)
“To a child that comes from an English speaking home, Chinese writing and oral skills are the most difficult to master. However, when Teacher Esther taught my child, we saw a marked improvement in her composition writing. I was certainly impressed as within a short span of time, Teacher Esther was able to impart to her writing techniques that could help her to express herself fluently. Teacher Esther is also one of the few Chinese tutors around who is equipped with the necessary resources and skills to coach my child in the new oral format. My child learnt strategies that she could apply to meet the new demands."
Mother of Lin Kai Ting (Rosyth School)

She has a wide range of resources which match up to the academic standard. She has very easy and effective techniques on how to do well in Chinese Paper 1 and comprehension. The notes are short and compact which are what I need and they are good for revision. She has guided me on the use of beautiful phrases and sentence construction to improve my writing skill.

"Teacher Esther is a very caring teacher. I know she always truly wants to help her students. She never failed to make me smile during lesson and the lessons were always enriching. Even though she taught me less than a year for PSLE, she helped me get from a bare passing mark to A for PSLE. As I was nervous and unconfident at times, she continued to encourage me all the way. She is an excellent teacher. "
