A day of treats. Deserving students get their pizza reward after achieving SA1 goals. Working harder for the prelim targets now! P.S. Domino’s Pizza – Singapore we should be your ambassador! 🤣

A Sec 1 student came for our potluck party for the P6 and secondary school students last Sunday even though he had no one to send him (parents were abroad) and was exhausted (he had just ended four days of camp.) Later on, when the party was ending, he asked if he could stay overnight[…]

Yesterday, we had a #studyroomstarawards for our students. I think it’s only right to honor our teachers too. Many parents may have the impression that Study Room is just helmed by Wallace & Wei. That’s not true. Without the efforts of our other caring teachers, we would not have grown as fast as we have.[…]

Setting P2 questions for SA1 revision. Besides being relevant to the curriculum, we aim to break #genderstereotypes too. That’s what learning is about.

At Study Room, we are always eager to challenge our students intellectually, force them to question in a bid to make studying more stimulating and fun.

If we hire a teacher who just comes in to do the bare minimum, will the student really learn? Improvement comes with many factors: a good[…]

Taught this fine young man when he was in primary school. He dropped by Study Room last Sat but didn’t have time to catch up with him as I was in class. Thus I arranged for a meal with him today. Very proud of this dude who’s now independent, confident and eloquent. He even dispensed[…]

What do you see on the left? A lamp? It’s more than a lamp. This is not a philosophical question. 😆 This is a visualiser too. Being a small enterprise, every cent counts. A good visualiser costs a thousand dollars. Wallace, the Science guru who always advocates application to what’s learnt, walked the talk too.[…]

P6 Composition tip: Don’t be a Mediacorp scriptwriter How often have you cringed when you watch our local dramas? “Man, that’s just predictable!” you would groan. or “That simply doesn’t make sense!” Why is the bad guy in the show always sneering after an evil act and why is it so coincidental that the protagonist[…]
