Sheryn Khoo is an experienced specialist tutor with a passion for teaching and nurturing young children from ages 3 to 12 years old. She has established a creditable history of more than 20 years of teaching experience in Maths, specifically for children wth dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism and other learning challenges. She has a good knowledge of the MOE Maths syllabus and is a firm believer in continuous learning. She takes pride in knowing that her students under her tutelage always regain their confidence in their Math learning journeys, and most of all redevelop a joy for learning Maths.

Sheryn believes that every child is unique in his learning journey. Hence, while she believes it is important to teach the child to adapt to the fast-paced learning environment in school, it must be done in a way that matches the learning pace of the child. She seeks to create an encouraging and positive learning environment for the child and also looks to a close partnership with the parents to support the learner's journey. As a veteran educator who is firm with high expectations yet also believes in having fun with learners, Sheryn believes it is essential to let learners know that she has faith in their learning potential and that they can achieve success in their learning.

“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” ~ American guitarist and singer-songwriter, B.B. King

Testimonial

"We are incredibly grateful for the support our son has received. In just eight months, his progress has been remarkable. His math skills and, more importantly, his confidence have grown tremendously. It has been a joy to watch him approach his lessons with a level of assurance and understanding that he never had before.

Ms. Sheryn is not only a dedicated tutor but also one who uses clear, structured methods that truly meet his unique learning needs. She incorporates visual cues into problem sums, helping his brain process information in a more organised and methodical way. She also breaks words and sentences into manageable parts, allowing him to understand the underlying concepts rather than relying solely on rote memory. Through her patient guidance, step-by-step explanations, and thoughtful strategies, he has been able to grasp concepts more deeply and apply them with growing confidence.

We couldn’t be happier with the improvement he has made and the pride he now brings to each lesson. We highly recommend Ms. Sheryn to any family looking for a patient, skilled, and truly effective math tutor who makes a difference."
