✦ Specialised Support
For Chinese-Speaking Students
Having taught many students from China, as well as Chinese students in both local and international schools in Singapore, Ms Teo understands the challenges they face when learning in an English-speaking academic environment.
As a bilingual educator fluent in both English and Mandarin, she is able to bridge language gaps clearly, helping students understand difficult concepts while gradually building the confidence to use English independently.
For many Chinese students, English is not only a subject but also the language needed to access content across other school subjects. Ms Teo's curated programme therefore strengthens the key foundations of English:
Through systematic guidance and targeted practice, students learn to move beyond direct translation and begin thinking, writing and expressing themselves more naturally in English. The programme first builds a strong foundation, before helping students accelerate towards stronger academic performance.
✦ Academic Credentials & Teaching Philosophy
Evidence-Based Methods
NUS Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Psychology · Specialised training in Educational Psychology
Ms Teo holds a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Psychology from the National University of Singapore (NUS), with specialised training in Educational Psychology. Drawing on evidence-based learning principles, she incorporates the following strategies:

To improve long-term retention.
Formative Feedback
To identify and address learning gaps early.
Self-Regulated Learning
To develop independent and confident learners.
Rather than relying solely on repetitive drilling and memorisation, Ms Teo focuses on helping students understand why they make mistakes and how to improve. This approach enables students to develop stronger critical thinking skills, deeper comprehension, and sustainable academic growth.
