My name is Li Jihong and I am from Shenyang, China. I came to Singapore in September 2006 to prepare for my GCE O Level examination. My English grade for the examination in October 2007 was C6 and now, I am studying in Singapore Polytechnic.
Frankiy, I did not think I could pass my English without Mr. Ho’s help. Though he only taught me for about half a year, his unique and effective teaching methods of developing my writing skills greatly benefited me. He often encouraged students to present in English after giving us certain composition topics to discuss in small groups.
After listening to the feedback from other classmates, Mr. Ho would advise us how to improve our content as well as sharpen our organisation and analytical skills. He is responsible and can be demanding. He meticulously corrected our every error in our scripts. Then during his break, he would explain the mistakes to us individually and patiently advice us how to avoid making such errors in future. He is a wonderful teacher.
I am Liu Tianyu from Jilin province, China. Mr. Ho taught me English from February – October 2007. He is a kind and helpful teacher who tries to help students to do better in their studies. His humorous teaching style and funny stories helped students remember difficult ideas about language and make such boring information vividly memorable. He is professional as he always prepares his teaching materials for every lesson. My English was not very good at first but with his help, I scored a C5 for my O level English.
