Testimonials – Primary 4

Charlyn Lee Li Xuan, CHIJ OLQP, P4 Love 250611
My mother has been recommended here by our relative. I have been in Mrs Choo’s class since P1. I feel so lucky because I used to hate writing composition as I didn’t know what to write. But after I have attended Mrs Choo’s class, I got some ideas for my compositions. Sometimes, I got full marks for my P1 compositions. My teacher would put them up on the door of my class after reading them to the class. Most of the time, my teacher would ask us to guess who got the highest marks. I thought it was one of my friends. But they all pointed at me. I wondered why they were pointing at me! But later, I found out that I was the one who got the highest marks! (I also used to fail them before coming here) My sister, Chloe Lee Keli, 6Joy from CHIJ has been here since P1. My cousin, Matthew introduced us here. He is now in NJC.

Darren Chan, Kranji Primary School, P4B1 12.11.11
I have been here since primary three. Before coming to the centre, I used to get borderline scores for my exams and tests. My comprehensions have also improved. Now, my compositions are getting better. All the compositions that Mrs Choo has written are very interesting and funny. My brother was once with Joanne Choo Language Centre from Primary 2. He was here until Secondary 4. My sister is still with Joanne Choo Language Centre and she is now in Secondary four. She started from Primary 3.

Clara Boo Tian Ying Xinghua Primary School 4D 13.11.11
I travel all the way from Hougang. I came here in February. Before coming here, my compositions were plain and dull. In SA1, I achieved band 2. After a few lessons from Mrs Choo, my marks have improved from band 2 to band 1! My parents are glad that my marks are better. I hope that my marks will improve even more next year.

Priscilla Yun. Nan Hua Primary School. P4E 05.11.11
I used to just pass my compositions, but after I’ve gone to Joanne Choo, my marks from ‘just pass’ have become top of the class! Joanne Choo really helps me in my compositions and now I’m confident in doing my composition. Joanne Choo rocks! My neighbour recommended me here; I wish to recommend all my friends here. Mrs Joanne Choo, the best!

Benjamin Neo ,Casuarina Primary School, P4 04.11.2011
I have joined Joanne Choo Language Centre since term 3 in 2011. Wonderfully, in just about 3 months, my results improved from 76 to 83! My comprehension got full marks. I come all the way from Pasir Ris to Clementi but worth our travelling as the lesson fees are also reasonable and my marks have improved.

Ma Hnin Oo Wai, Clementi Primary School, P4/7 26.06.11
I am a Burmese. I came to Joanne Choo Language Centre when I was in primary 3. I was recommended by my friend, Xin Yun. Before I came to this language centre, I would get very low marks for comprehension and composition. Now, I have improved a lot. My teacher is also very happy with my improvement. I have learnt many useful phrases and words in this centre. My comprehension has also improved a lot. I answer with full confidence now. My parents are also very pleased with my improvements. I have also recommended one of my friends here (a Burmese too) and he has also passed his exams with flying colours.

Stefanie Ann Low Su Ying, Methodist Girls’ School (Primary), P4.5 01/07/11
I have been in the centre since primary 3. At that time, Joanne Choo Language Centre was at the Clementi Town Centre before shifting to its present premise. I used to have seven students in my class but since then it has doubled in size. I was first recommended to attend Joanne Choo Language Centre from my mother’s colleague. At first, I wasn’t sure that by attending group tuition my composition would improve. However, when my English teacher commented that some of my stories were interesting, I knew that the centre helped me a fair bit. The sessions are always full of interesting ideas that are different from the many compositions from textbooks that my parents buy me. I think I will continue learning from Joanne Choo Language Centre until I am in secondary 4.

Prabhakaran Sahithya, Qifa Primary School, 4E 26.06.11
I just joined Joanne Choo Language Centre a few months ago. I was recommended by my P3 English tuition teacher, Catherine but she does not teach upper primary. Before coming to this centre, I used to get very low marks for my composition. I hated compositions at that time, as I did not know how to use phrases and vocabulary. But after coming here, I realised that I have improved a lot. I started to like compositions. I have received very good comments from my form teacher. My parents are very pleased.

Zhou Yi Rui, NYPS, Primary 4J/Respect 26.06.11
I have been in Joanne Choo Language Centre since P2. My elder sister, Zhou Yi Bo, has also been here for compositions. I have learnt a lot of words and many new phrases like “a stone’s throw away”. Mrs Choo has a good sense of humour and she also lets us act out the phrases and clauses for our composition. This helps us learn better.

Nicholas Tan Xuan Tan, Pei Tong Primary School 26.06.11
I was here since primary two. Before I came, my composition was bad. Ever since coming to Joanne Choo Language Centre, I have improved a lot.

Anbarasan Oviya, Clementi Primary School, P4/6 26.06.11
I have only started attending this year. I was recommended here by Sahithya. I love the compositions that Mrs Choo gives us. They are interesting and I always feel excited to do each composition! Her essays are so different from the model answers which are long-winded, boring and even out of point. Mrs Choo’s essays are so lively and funny. Her style of writing is worth learning.

Nicole Chua, Clementi Primary School, P4 25.06.11
Before coming here, my English was plain and simple. I used to get 17 or 18. But after joining, I improved. I also enjoy reading storybooks to improve my English. I started looking forward to composition writing after I joined. That’s because I was excited to use the phrases I have learnt.

I have been here for the last four months. Before attending Mrs Choo’s lessons,I had always failed my practice composition in school as I had no idea how to write it. But after coming here, I have got better marks.

Li Jia Jing, Nan Hua Primary School, P4E 25.06.11
I joined Joanne Choo Language Centre a few months ago. My parents noticed this centre when we went to the nearby Shop and Save for groceries. They knew that I needed a tuition centre for my compositions. My results in school are normally around 13 to 14 marks out of 20. After attending Mrs Choo’s class, I realised that my marks have shot up to 17 to 18 out of 20. My parents are overjoyed after seeing my marks. They are very satisfied with the centre so they allow me to continue learning more good phrases to improve on my compositions.

Kong Jun Rui Pei, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, TW8 25.06.11
I hated writing compositions at first. But after attending Mrs Choo’s composition class, I love composition now. Everyday, I write tons of compositions at home. I have also learnt a lot of things at the centre, including phrases, semi-clauses and even dancing (to the beat of Pearly Shells)!

Ching Zhi Ru Vanessa, Bukit Panjang Primary School, P4D 25.06.11

Wong Yuhan, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, Responsibility 4 25.06.11
I hated composition. This year, I turned nine and my mother sent me to learn composition at Joanne Choo Language Centre. Now, I am trying to use her phrases in my composition. My mother is also trying to help me remember the phrases.

Wilson Mah, FHPS, 4 Care 26.06.11
I have been here since Primary 3. I was recommended by my mother’s friend. Before coming to Joanne Choo Language Centre, I would fail my composition. But after coming here, I have started to improve because of the nice phrases the teacher has given us.

GK Janani, Greenridge Primary School 02/07/11

I used to love composition and love it still. My brother used to be here too. Now, I have improved in composition writing. I have learnt many new phrases as well. Being in Joanne Choo Language Centre has helped me learn a lot of things I would otherwise not know. I have learnt some new techniques to write better compositions!

Kylie Leong Kai Ling, Xingnan Primary School, 4F 02/07/11
Before I came here, I nearly failed my compositions by 1 mark. I hated compositions but after joining Mrs Choo’s lessons, I started to love writing and this year, I got 18 out of 20 marks. It was the highest in class! I was also called by the teacher to take part in a writing competition. Someday, I wish I could get higher marks, maybe even full marks!

Khor Xin Yi, Gong Shang Primary School (GSPS) 02/07/11
Last time, my compositions were badly written. I decided to attend Joanne Choo Language Centre, even though I come from Tampines, which is very far away. Now, my compositions have improved. I hope to be able to get into Ngee Ann Secondary School. I have a lot of cousins in Mrs Choo’s centre, but they are from different classes. Only one is in my class. Her name is Jing Jing.

Emmanuelle Hng Mei-En, Methodist Girls’ School P4.3 02/07/11
I used to get 12 out of 20 for my English composition. One day, my mother told me that her friend had recommended me to attend lessons at Joanne Choo Language Centre as her son had done very well in his examinations and improved. My mother asked me if I was interested in joining. Determined to improve, I told her that I should try it out. I joined the centre when I was in primary 3. After writing my practice composition, I was able to get 15 – 16 marks. In my examinations, I got 14 out of 20. I learnt lots of beautiful phrases ever since I came to this centre. Every week, I memorise around 10 – 15 phrases. After attending Mrs Choo’s lessons, my sister can also write very well. Mrs Choo also updates us on new subjects that are available in her centre. My parents are very pleased with my results. Sometimes, when we have extra time, she would practise Oral with us. Thank you so much, Mrs Choo!

Seo Shin Yang, Rulang Primary School, P4E 02/07/11
I have been in this centre for two years. Before coming here, I had only just passed my exams but after I have come to Joanne Choo Language Centre, I scored 84 marks for English for SA1. I even got top five in my class!

Min Guan Lin, Greenwood Primary School, P4B 02/07/11
When I came here in primary three, my compositions were very long-winded and often times, boring. After trying out Mrs Choo’s lessons, I can write very good compositions. I come here every Saturday from Woodlands to attend lessons!

Mikhil Anand, Henry Park Primary School, P4 Integrity-1 01/07/11
Joanne Choo Language Centre has helped me improve a lot in improve my English, especially my composition. At first, when I joined, I was weak in English. After a few weeks studying in Joanne Choo Language Centre, I am better in the subject. My teacher now praises me for my compositions. My oral and my compositions have helped me a lot in my SA1 and SA2. Mrs Choo makes sure that classes at the centre are very funny and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tuition centre to anyone who is weak in English!

Rouvin Erh Heng Rui, Henry Park Primary School, P4I1 25/06/11
I have been in this centre since P 1.  I love to write. My sister, Joey Erh  Luo Zhen,  had been here since P1 too until  Secondary 4.  She scored A1 for English. She did Paper 1 and Paper 2 at the centre. Her bosom friend, Estee, was with her throughout from P1 to Sec 4. I think Estee got A1 too. My mother has recommended Estee to this centre. She had improved a great deal from average to distinction.

Clara Boo Tian Ying, Xinghua Primary School, P4D 25/06/11
My mother’s friend recommended me here. She drove me all the way from Hougang. When I let my mother know what I am learning here, she is very pleased. I pick up the comprehension skills very fast the way Mrs Choo is training us and the phrases and semi-clauses are  handy.

Wang Chen, Pei Tong Primary School, 4E 24/06/11
Before attending the class, I cannot describe or express well in my compositions. I hate writing them. Now, my compositions have improved a lot. I enjoy writing now and it’s just a few months here. Mrs Choo is a great motivator.
