Ivan graduated from the NUS’ Faculty of Arts and Social Science (FASS) with a degree in English Language and History. He subsequently pursued his CELTA programme offered by Cambridge University where he mastered the essentials of English language teaching. Additionally, Ivan holds an Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment with a WPL accreditation.
For the last 5 years, Ivan has been teaching and tutoring English to learners of varying abilities including non-native speakers of English, adult learners and Secondary school students. His students have seen improvements in their grades and many have gone on to do well in their tertiary educations.
Mr Ivan Koh strongly believes that learning English is more than just building a strong vocabulary and knowing grammar rules well. But rather, it is a catalyst to a lifelong learning process for better communication, development and a holistic education. English forms the basis of understanding for almost all the O-level subjects, except for Mother Tongue and Third Languages. A strong grasp of the English language will ensure that students are able to master all their subjects competently and complete the exams confidently.
