Within the past 20 years of my life, the two most memorable teachers I have ever had are Ms Daphne and Mr Teo.
Initially, I struggled with H2 Mathematics and H2 Chemistry. However, after attending Ms Daphne and Mr Teo’s classes, I had grown to enjoy both subjects and realised that I had potential to do well.
Both Ms Daphne and Mr Teo’s classes are conducive to learn as they are safe spaces to ask questions. Apart from their classes, I rarely ever asked questions in school. Ms Daphne and Mr Teo embrace all kinds of questions, and are readily available to answer all of them – even WhatsApp messages late at night, or last-minute morning texts right before the examination paper.
The most admirable thing about both Ms Daphne and Mr Teo is that they are teachers beyond the classroom. They not only teach the respective subjects, but also give career tips, life advice and strong emotional support. Upon release of A Level results, they check in on students to reassure them that they are proud of them, and to give career advice moving forward.
Thank you to both Ms Daphne and Mr Teo for being my pillars of support and for having such a big impact on my life. I was only able to press on and come this far because of the both of you!
