Highlights of some Testimonials
Jane started teaching Nathalie in late Dec 2013. I am amazed with how Jane gets around to teaching and reinforcing grammar, comprehension and vocabulary to her. Her English programme is very engaging and Nathalie love's Jane's classes. Nathalie looks forward to each class. Jane is very dedicated, responsible, optimistic & nurturing tutor. She has great affinity with children and sees each child as a special individual. She is able to engage with Nathalie, constantly motivating and encouraging her. Nathalie has improved greatly in a very short time. I am very thankful for Jane and Nathalie is really blessed to have her as a tutor.

My daughter Melina started lessons with Ms Jane Yeo in June 2015, when she was in Primary 2. At that time she was struggling to answer open ended comprehension questions and struggling with writing compositions.
I noticed an improvement in my daughter's work almost immediately. By the end of the year, her performance had improved so much that she received the Most Improved English Award for her level that year.
Ms Yeo is very firm, but also very patient with the children. My daughter is kept on her toes, but not stressed out. I believe that Ms Yeo is able to help her students improve their grasp of the English language in a way that extends beyond doing better in exams.
I would definitely recommend Ms Yeo to anyone looking for an English tutor!

Hi Jane,
This is our testimony on Catherine's improvement after taking your class. Prior to attending your lessons, our daughter's performance in school was marginal. Soon after starting the weekly 90 min lessons, you gave us an analysis where her learning deficiencies were and the areas of the syllabus that she needed refresher coaching on. Your customized approach to teaching our daughter and working on these weakest areas as a priority showed dramatic results. Not only was there a marked improvement in her grades after two terms from B's to and A but more importantly, it boosted her morale. Her self confidence grew and EL became her favourite subject in school! Thank you!

Teacher Jane is a very passionate and enthusiastic teacher. She is meticulous and makes an effort to motivate me. Her lessons are very enjoyable, and I look forward to her lessons every week. The work I do is mostly based on my weaknesses to allow me to improve. Although I joined for a few monts only, I can see a great improvement in my marks.
I joined The Knowledge Garden on 22 March 2016. My weaknesses was composition and comprehension open-ended. I scored an average score of 26/40 for composition. After about 3 months, my marks increased to an average of 33 out of 40 and marks for my comprehension improved from 15 out of 20 to mostly full marks!
I would definitely recommend her to everyone looking for English tuition.

Quick & Amazing results!
Teacher Jane is a very patient teacher, who truly wanted the best for her students. I joined The Knowledge Garden somewhere at the end of 2018 and was taught by her for about a year. Before joining, I was weak in my writing skills, but thanks to her meticulous teaching, my grades in Composition rose from an average of 28 to an average of 32-35/40 in just a short span of about half a year. Having joined many tuition centres before The Knowledge Garden, and seeing no results, this was a GREAT improvement. As we got closer to the examination periods, we would be given test papers and that helped me tremendously!
Also, I liked how the classes are always in small groups, which helped me to focus better. I looked forward to her lessons every week. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for English Tuition!

*** Jane has taught my two boys, Shane and Riley since lower Primary. She has a fun and approachable way which my boys enjoy attending her lessons. As they started from a young age, a good foundation was established which resulted in consistent and improving grades despite the challenges and difficulties each year presents.
Their results are a true representation of Jane's teaching abilities, methods and implementation as both my boys have made it to the IB programme.
Thank you for your patience and giving spirit in teaching them. I am confident they will go a long way with the foundation and skills acquired from The Knowledge Garden.
