Bio About

Melcher is a Senior Educational Therapist for the Main Literacy Programme and is involved in the design of the curriculum. He graduated with an honour's degree in English Language from National University of Singapore, and is keenly interested in the power of language, and its development in young learners.

As Ludwig Wittgenstein said, a person's understanding of the world is limited by their understanding of language. Language is a repository of the mind. The only way to understand the world better is to first understand one's language, and then move on to other languages.
