About
NUS Writing & Communication Hub also offers a variety of communication support to NUS students. We provide regular individual and group consultations on academic or workplace related presentations, spoken discourse and any spoken modes of communication. As trained tutors, we are able to provide feedback on non-verbal as well as verbal communication skills at any stage of the preparation and execution process. While our focus is on academic and professional communication, we also provide assistance to students whose English is not your first language in any area required.

Chen Le
Graduating Class of 2027, NUS
Major: Computer Science
Languages: English, Mandarin
Chen Le is a Computer Science major who spends most of her time debugging — both code and life. Outside the world of curly braces and semicolons, she finds joy in the dramatic twists of Korean dramas, the adrenaline of Western action films, and the comforting crunch of good food with great company. An ISFJ through and through (100% J!), she reflects deeply through journaling and creative writing, often consulting her loyal confidant — ChatGPT — for honest feedback and new perspectives. She believes communication is like food: done right, it brings people together and makes life just that bit brighter 🙂
Jennifer Lee
Graduating Class of 2027, NUS
Major: Business Analytics
Languages: English, Korean
Jennifer is a Year 3 Business Analytics student who loves travelling and meeting new people! She has lived across three different countries throughout her childhood – from the United States to Korea to now Singapore. Because of these experiences she is well aware how difficult it might be to learn a new language or communicate effectively in a language other than one’s mother tongue 🙂 She hopes she can empower others with these experiences that she had gone through herself and hopes to guide tutees most effectively based on their needs and interests!
Nico

Major: Computer Science
Languages: English, Indonesian, Mandarin (Conversational)
Now a second-year Computing student, Nico has always been intrigued by people and their idiosyncrasies. This curiosity resulted in him throwing himself into teaching and public speaking during his undergraduate years, where he taught chemistry labs and curated talks for TEDx as an excuse to interact with people. In his spare time, he enjoys expanding his ever-growing list of uncompleted projects. Currently, he is studying real analysis and learning (albeit poorly) the electric guitar.

Having struggled with presentations and public speaking during her secondary school years, Rachel understands the challenges others may face. She is passionate about supporting others in gaining confidence, just as her peers once supported her.

Graduating Class of 2027, NUS
Major: Business Analytics

He hopes to use these experiences to encourage others to step out of their comfort zones and embrace cross-cultural learning. Outside of his studies, Ryan enjoys going on runs or cycles around the city, or even playing some tunes on the guitar!
