Testimonial

May 8, 2019

The DAS English Exam Skills programme has been most useful for my son, Gregor. The focus is on comprehension, synthesis and transformation which are the areas that my son had most difficulty in. The programme has taught him useful skills that helped him see that exams can be conquered with the right strategies. Most importantly, Teacher Siti who steered the lessons and catered to the individual needs of her students was the key motivation for Gregor to look forward to her lessons every week. It is her expertise and love for the students that the programme experience has been further enhanced. Thank you for your expertise, sincerity, love and the belief in Gregor. You have defintely made a difference in him. 😍

Mrs Christie Koh, Mother of Gregor Koh Wen Jun

This programme has helped me in  my exams.  I do not like comprehension as there is a lot of reading and I do not know many words. However, Teacher Siti has taught me that I can still do well as long as I can apply the strategies. She is very kind, patient, helpful and I have enjoyed her lessons.

Thank you Teacher Siti!❤️
