Language Creates Your World
Derrick Lim
Hello, I’m Derrick. As a former MOE (Ministry of Education) teacher, I’ve taught primary and secondary English for over 20 years in various settings such as a public school, an established tuition centre, the students’ homes, and an online tutoring platform. To add, I’m a former Reading Specialist with I Can Read and also a published author of a children’s storybook. By the way, I also hold a diploma in TESOL from London Teacher Training College and a certificate in Teaching IELTS Preparation. On the volunteering front, I’ve been the former editor and writer of Kaki Bukit Community Centre’s newsletter with a posse of writers under my charge for several years.
Of all the students that I’ve taught so far, I’ve always made it my teaching maxim, “A day without learning is a day wasted.” Hence, in identifying a student’s learning needs is imperative in my tutoring approach. What ensues is I will impart to them the knowledge, techniques, skills and strategies needed to improve their English. Along the way, I will also inculcate in the students the values of respect, perseverance, responsibility, commitment, integrity, and diligence. With an unswerving conviction, I believe that when one masters their language, in this case their English, it actually opens up many opportunities unimaginably. Thus, at English With Derrick (EWD), you will see that language creates your world once you have become a master of it.
