GP, I strongly believe in giving back to society with my time and my talents. Through various platforms such as helping out with MENDAKI and Singapore Cancer Society's various assistance programmes, I serve in different capacities where I can to lend a helping hand to those who need it.
3. What is GP about? GP
comprises 2 components:
Paper 1 which is the Essay
paper, and Paper 2 which is
the Comprehension paper. My
GP tuition lessons will cover
both Papers concurrently (so
that students will be well-
equipped for both papers), and
we will be working on Content
material (arguments, counter-
arguments, examples
etc), Language
skills (paragraph development,
paraphrasing, inference etc)
and Structure format (proper
argumentative style, essay
coherence, Application
Question format etc).

5. Ex-MOE & NIE-trained JC lecturer & tutor
Taught at JC level and higher (university undergraduate and postgraduate academic

Founding Director and Principal Tutor of Irwin’s Study, a leading ‘O’ & ‘A’-Level Tuition
Specialist Centre
6. One year after Irwin’s Study was established, MENDAKI approached
me to partner them in their ‘A’-Level Tuition Subsidy Scheme for
students who come from lower-income families. I was most glad to
help out and have since personally taught GP and also provided JC
tuition through my other tutors for many students on this scheme.
In 2012, The New Paper learnt about this and wrote a feature story.
7. One of the quotes that
have continuously guided
me in my teaching is by
the poet W.B. Yeats who
said that, “Education is
not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.”
Indeed, for a content-
rich subject such as
General Paper (GP), it’s
easy to focus only on
imparting head
knowledge and content
material.
