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!

Having been a Marketing Intern with CPF Board, and a Research Apprentice with A Good Space Co-operative, Adriale has come to appreciate the importance of communicating simply in the workplace.
