“I enrolled my two boys in Summerville’s Holiday Workshop hoping they would have a meaningful break from screens. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. They came home every day excited to share what they had learnt. The program was well-organised, engaging and struck a perfect balance between learning and fun.”
“My girls Zoe, 9 and 11 enjoy attending the English Creative Writing Workshop over the weekends. They are able to write better more creative compositions and articulate their ideas more clearly. I will continue to enrol them at Summerville.”
“When we first enrolled Ethan in the Phonics and Reading program, he could barely recognise sight words and had little interest in reading. Now, after just 12 lessons, he is able to read simple sentences on his own and even attempts to read signboards.”
“As a working parent, I was initially concerned that online lessons would not be as effective as face-to-face classes. However, the Sec 4 online English Program far exceeded our expectations. My daughter Cheryl became more confident in answering comprehension questions and has improved significantly in essay writing.”
