Ms Su Xin
Ms Su Xin’s love for the language began from weekly visits to the library as a child, where she picked up books and disappeared into the literary worlds created by authors. Through reading and writing, she realised she got to expand her knowledge about the world and express herself in the best possible way. Literature and English became subjects she enjoyed in school and her appreciation and love for the English language grew from there. This has helped fuel her motivation to create lessons to help students experience language in the same way she did. She hopes to teach students to use the English language effectively, efficiently and creatively too!
