NEO WAN TING TEACHER B.A. English Literature (current) Teacher Wan Ting is a mountain-‐climbing, knitting and eggplant-‐eating enthusiast. Her interests are wide and varied, and she's always willing to try new things. For all of her education, she had the great opportunity to pursue her love for books through English Literature. Hence, she hopes to brew the same passion for fiction in the classroom, especially by building a safe environment for students to dare to create and make mistakes. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards proved to be a challenging and emotional read for her primary school self, thus it holds a special place in her heart. S. SATHISH
TEACHER B.A. Psychology (current)
Teacher Sathish’s passion for writing is fueled by his love for fictional tales, having spent much of his childhood with his nose buried in storybooks. One of his favourite reads as a child was The Hardy Boys mystery series. Having had experience mentoring children for over a year, Teacher Sathish is quick to develop a strong camaraderie with his students (especially the boys!) as he finds joy and fulfillment in educating the future of tomorrow. As a sports enthusiast with a fiery spirit, Teacher Sathish wishes to inject a similar brand of energy into his lessons as well.
