Mr Aloysius is an English teacher at Lil’ but Mighty. After completing his studies in Geography in NUS, he went on to attain his Postgraduate Diploma in Education certification from NIE. He then taught English in secondary school, across varying streams and abilities, for 5 years. He looks forward to deepening students’ passion in English here!
Mr. Aloysius has years of experience teaching English and guiding students of different ages and abilities. By connecting English to the real world, he helps students discover how language opens windows to different places, ideas, and people.
He believes that “students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Building rapport is at the heart of his teaching, because trust opens the door to real learning. His approach centres on guiding students to experience the world, engage with diverse perspectives, and empathise with the intricacies of life.
He hopes for every student to grow not only in communicative skills, but also in confidence and character.
What inspires you to teach?
I believe that education is about shaping lives, not just grades. A teacher’s care and guidance can go a long way in giving students confidence, hope, and direction. Teaching is my way of helping young people discover their voice, develop resilience, and build their character.
Why do you love teaching English?
I love teaching English because language is key to understanding and connecting with the world. I enjoy using stories, films, and real-world issues to show students that English opens doors to critical thinking, creativity and meaningful communication. Ultimately, I hope to empower students to grow into empathetic and future-ready leaders in their own right.
What do you do in your free time?
I like to exercise, travel and spend time with my loved ones!
