About Verrine
Experienced Tutor with a Personal Touch
Verrine brings hands-on experience from her time as a Kumon tutor, where she worked directly with children to build their confidence and skills in maths and English. She is known for her patience and for going the extra mile—such as translating between Mandarin and English to support families new to the language. Her approachable style ensures every student feels heard and supported, while her practical classroom background means she can quickly adapt lessons to each child’s unique needs.
Strong Leadership in Educational Settings
Throughout her schooling, Verrine has consistently taken on leadership roles that demonstrate responsibility and care for younger students. As a peer support leader and class representative, she helped new students settle into school life, guiding them through challenges both academic and personal. Her experience leading co-curricular activities highlights her ability to motivate groups, foster teamwork, and create an encouraging environment—qualities that translate directly into her tutoring sessions.
Creative Approach Backed by Diverse Interests
Beyond academics, Verrine holds a diploma in piano and enjoys engaging students with creative methods that make learning enjoyable. She has contributed to school plays, debating teams, and community volunteering initiatives such as refugee tutoring. This wide range of interests allows her to connect with students beyond textbooks—using stories, games or music when appropriate—to keep lessons lively while focusing on real progress in core subjects like maths and English.
