Abhay has been a student of Sangeeta Ma'am for almost 3 years. When he started he required dedicated attention and guidance. His attention span was limited and he would get distracted from the task he was given very easily. Sangeeta understood his needs and worked out his focus areas from the onset and adopted an approach that maximised his learning. She worked with immense patience and created an environment for him to be at ease. Sangeeta made the lessons very engaging and enjoyable for him. She helped him with phonic strategies to decode unfamiliar words and his reading fluency improved drastically. Her worksheets helped greatly in improving his comprehension and now he can look back at a text to retrieve literal and inferential information easily. Sangeeta also encouraged him on how to write creatively and he now uses lovely adjectives for description. Over time he has started thinking carefully about his vocabulary choices and his sentence structure as well. Sangeeta’s teaching has not only helped him embed new skills but has also been an immense boost to his overall confidence.

I am very glad to have come to know of Teacher Sangeeta when I first enrolled my son for a Phonic Lesson at the age of 6 years+. Even though I have started late for my son to learn phonics, she has helped to build up his English very well, maintaining his scoring at an average of 90 in school tests (who is in P5 now). English is really important as it also helps in the understanding of other subjects like Math & Science. Now my daughter who is in P2 has also started her Phonic Lesson with Teacher Sangeeta for nearly 10 months. I could see great improvements in her reading & writing, for example - school spelling, she doesn't have any hard time memorizing new words, she can simply spell them out after looking at the words and reading them with the pronunciation that she has learned. English is her favourite subject now. 😄

Thank you Teacher Sangeeta for your patience with my 2 children!!

Gratefully yours, Mommy of E & E

Dear Ms Sangeeta,

We are incredibly blessed to have found Ms. Sangeeta’s phonics class for our twins. When the twins started P1, they were still unable to read and were struggling with their schoolwork. After the mid-year Parent-Teacher-Meeting with their form teacher, we decided to source for a phonics class, because we believed that once their reading improves, it would certainly help them in both English and Mathematics. We were glad we found Ms. Sangeeta’s class. We started classes at the end of May, and within a month, I could see a vast improvement. Ms. Sangeeta taught them the basics and foundations of phonics, and they enjoyed the class so much that they would come home reciting the rules to me. These were new stuff to me as I was never taught phonics in school, and it was interesting to learn from my kids. By around September, they could read simple books and were having an easier time in school. Even the school teacher noticed the difference. The kids learnt a great deal from Ms Sangeeta in the 10 months they were with her. Her classes were so much more effective compared to the other reading classes that the twins attended before. In fact, they have learnt phonics before in kindergarten but for some reason, they just could not master it then. I have even tried exploring reading classes that use alternative techniques to phonics, e.g. whole word reading, but even that only helped them a little. We liked Ms. Sangeeta’s teaching so much that we chose to follow her not once, but twice when her classes had to be rescheduled and relocated to a different venue -first time due to the closure of one of the centres (where her classes were conducted), and second time due to redeployment by her company. We did not want to risk placing our kids with anybody else because the twins were already learning very well under her.

Thank you, Ms. Sangeeta. We wish you all the best and we will certainly recommend your classes to our friends!

Best Regards,CM Tan (Mrs) (mummy of Daniel & Genevieve)

My name is Lenny Sam. My daughter who just turned 5 last week has been in Miss Sangeeta’s class for about 2.5 years now. She started by going to Miss Sangeeta’s class at Kent Ridge tuition centre around Alexandra. She knew all her alphabets since she just turned 1. My daughter is now a confident reader and I put all the credits of her reading skill to her teacher Miss Sangeeta. I find miss Sangeeta is very patient but yet knows how to discipline young kids with her soft voice. I like the way she teaches and her teaching concepts and she has a neutral English accent. I would recommend her to any Mother who is seeking a reading tutor.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Sangeeta. It's my pleasure to provide this testimonial letter to you. I've seen you worked closely with my grandson over the past 2 years. You did an excellent job teaching him Phonics. Now my grandson can read, write and speak good English. I have to thank you Sangeeta for the professional way of teaching English to him. I'd like to restate my strong support for Sangeeta as she's a professional teacher who puts her heart into teaching.

Thank you.

Regards, Sheila

Dear Ms. Sangeeta, I've wanted to thank you for a long time & today I have an opportunity to do so. My son Saantossh was a quiet boy, never spoke much, loves to point & ask for things. He had trouble writing as he couldn't seem to hold the pencil, no amount of teaching him myself could have done what you did. It was just a passing that I happen to be in Anchor point that I saw classes being conducted for Phonics to teach children how to read. I enrolled him in your class when he was in K1. I spoke to you about my concerns & you reassure me that he's still young & not to worry. I never thought much about it, a normal routine to send him for Saturday classes. He looked forward to your class, was happy & you always said he's doing fine. It was a few months that I heard from his K1 teacher that Saantossh had improved a lot, he was more outspoken, handwriting improved tremendously & I heard him reading a book out loud. He always made me read to him at night never reading himself. Years went by you taught him till higher phonics. You even went beyond the call of your teaching, you taught him grammar, vocabulary & so much more. His P1 teacher has nothing to say about him except maybe his handwriting is still huge but the point is without you my son would not be where he is today, his scores are above 95 marks beyond my expectation. Your kind gentle way, patient & understanding of each of your students, the method of your teaching made an impact on him. We as parents are grateful for wonderful teachers like you around. Thank you so much for guiding & nurturing my son. It was you that made a difference in his life not me as a parent. The change in him was your contribution.

Thank you for being the greatest teacher to my son.

Yours sincerely Shamala

Even now when he speaks, we were very pleased and understand every word and sentence when he starts to communicate. Now that our son Raydean Arda trying his very best and excel gradually on his reading and speaking skills.

Dear Ms. Sangeeta,

Avery, diagnosed with dyslexia at her P3 in Oct 2018, is doing better in school after joining your one-to-one class since 9 Jun 2019. She had been failing in lower primary for English, but now she gets passed in SA2. I am glad that we spoke to Ms. Cha about her difficulties and you accepted her. My husband and I sincerely appreciate all your efforts, patience, and encouragement in the past 5 months. We can see her learning attitude changed better and look forward to attending every your class.

Big thanks!

My elder son had difficulty in reading English when he was in 1st grade in Singapore. His teacher suggested me to send him 1 level back, which obviously I didn't want to. A friend of mine suggested taking help from Sangeeta mam, I took him to Sangeeta mam, and within 2-3 weeks he was reading fluently. We continued for like 3 months, and then I had to leave Singapore. This was back in 2012 and my younger son was just 1 year old. Now I am in the US, and my younger son also had difficulty in reading, initially, I was expecting that this problem will go away with time, but by Nov 2017, I realized it will not and I started searching for a phonics teacher here in Princeton, NJ. But I couldn't, then I thought of contacting Sangeeta Mam again, though being in a different country and time zone, it was not easy. But she decided to help my Son, she gave him lessons over Skype, and in few months my Son was reading well. We continued for more than a year, and now I have glowing feedback for my son from his school in reading, reading comprehension, and writing.

Thank you very much Sangeeta Mam.

Dear Ms. Sangeeta

My husband and I would like to extend our profound gratitude to you for the marvelous turnover of our daughter's speaking, confidence, pronunciation, reading, and much more. We placed her under your good care in 2018 and in less than 3 months, we saw the change in her. Not only us, but her teachers in school also noticed it and made it a point to call and let us know. We are absolutely confident that all credit goes to you, for coaching and guiding her with utmost patience and dedication. Your personal touch and love for what you do makes a huge difference. You also take the time to speak with me, albeit both our busy schedules, which is over and above our expectations. Our daughter has completed 2 courses in Phonics with you and I think we can never be grateful enough.

Thanks very much

To Whom It May Concern Testimonial for Sangeeta,

We were the franchise owner of Kent Ridge Tutor operated at Alexandra between 2013 and 2017. It was where we had the privilege of engaging Ms. Sangeeta as a phonics teacher for children between 4 years and 10 years old.

Sangeeta taught the children very well. The number of children enrolled grew from strength to strength under her loving care. She only spent 2 afternoons per week at our centre yet nearly all classes were packed with eager students. Children loved her lessons very much as she was firm and loving. She was methodical and yet flexible to adapt her approach to suit the children’s learning needs. Under her guidance, many children grew up mastering the technique of reading and writing and excelled in school later. We had received many accolades from parents thanking her for inspiring their children to love the English language.

She also helped several children with learning disabilities. It was such a joy to see them overcoming their own barriers with the help of Sangeeta. If you are thinking of enrolling your child for lessons with Sangeeta, we strongly recommend that you take up the opportunity immediately. Your child will love her lessons and grow strong in English for the rest of their life.

Best regards

Sheryl Tan & Adam
