Student Testimonials
When I first joined Modular Education Centre, English was the course I signed up for taught by Mrs Manjit. During the weekly lessons, it made me realize how good of a teacher Mrs Manjit is. She will personally mark and check through the compositions and comprehensions and is very patient in clarifying any doubts whatsoever. Not only that, she guides students through the various tips and tricks needed for English. Her impeccable attitude towards teaching is in a way ‘motherly’ and she takes into consideration the weaknesses and strengths of each student and provides feedback to improve and hone one’s skills in their strengths. Even my results can vouch for her effectiveness as a teacher. From Term 2 to Term 3, my grades for English jumped dramatically from C5 in term 2 to A2 in term 3. All in all even though I have only been with the centre for 2 terms. Mrs Manjit as a whole is a very enjoyable teacher to be around and has impacted me greatly as a secondary student.
