Ms Antoinette Chang is a fitness trainer, who has creatively combined her expertise in aerobics, pilates, yoga and the chiball into popular fitness sequences! Through her sincere friendship building effort, her students know one another so well that they are even willing to babysit one another's children. Antoinette is as much a trainer as she is a personal friend. She takes a keen interest in her students and organises social get-togethers such as outings, potluck and barbeque sessions for them. In fact, her class has bonded so well that when a fellow student was struck with a grave illness, the class rallied around her and provided great moral support. Her students certainly benefited much from the mutual support and warm friendships forged. Ms Antoinette Chang has set the gold standard in community bonding.

Ms Diana Teo's classes are all about friendly competition and family fun! With 6 types of class and inter-class activities on the menu, like Maths Challenges, Facebooking, Parent-Child Math Challenges, Teacher's Day Parties, Xmas Parties and Mental Sums Competition, it's little wonder that her courses are effective and dynamic! Through her course, students sharpened their mental skills and strengthened family communication. By engaging parents in calculation games with the children, Diana made mathematics fun and relevant for the whole family! Her students excel academically, and they also proudly won 2nd prize in the Taiwan-held International Mental Arithmetic Olympics. Diana's success is exemplary of the benefits of class and inter-class activities!
Korean native, Ms Cho Choung Wha, Regan is an engaging and creative language trainer. Learning Korean with her is fun, accessible and interactive! By sharing interesting Korean history, teaching the latest buzzwords, playing folk games, and even wearing the traditional hanbok, her students are able to pick up Korean in a relevant and fun way. Occasionally, she holds K-Pop get togethers, and even share the art of traditional kim chee making to promote an appreciation for her culture. Students are encouraged to converse in Korean during these activities, further improving their proficiency. Regan's creativity and innovation has given her language course that additional spark!
