Ms Nellie's Profile
After graduating from the National Institute of Education (NIE), Ms Nellie taught in several secondary schools and three enrichment centres. She enjoys interacting and communicating with students from different age groups and nationalities.
As an educator, she believes that every child is unique and learns differently. As such, every classroom experience becomes an opportunity for reflection and spurs the teacher to find different ways to reach out to the child and establish a strong teacher-student relationship which helps to nurture the child holistically. During her free time, Ms Nellie also enjoys reading, watching movies and plays because there’s nothing like a piece of writing coming to life with moving pictures and sounds. A big fan of Dystopian novels and plays, she can always be seen at bookstores with her nose buried in her favourite books.
Ms Nellie has undergone our in-house Movers and Shakers Teacher Training Programme.
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

Why do you love teaching English?
I find it so interesting that there are so many ways to express just one idea. It’s exciting to see how each student brings their own creativity to writing—everyone has such a unique way!
What do you do in your free time?
Recently, I picked up running long distances! I enjoy the rigour and drive you need to push on and strive towards the finish line. It’s tough, but truly rewarding.
