Real words from real families. Some of these stories began under our old name, The Little Academy, the same educators, the same method, now continuing the adventure as The Lit Adventure.
"We chose TLA because the learning approach is engaging and suitable for our child. Since joining, we have seen improvement in confidence and interest in learning. The teachers are patient and supportive, and the materials are very helpful for home practice. We are happy with our experience at TLA."
— Rachel, Google Review"Thank you so much to Teacher Eileen and the team for guiding Gladys since June 2024. Your focus on independent learning instead of simply providing the answers has truly fostered her intellectual growth."
— Phyllis Goh, Google Review"My son has been attending the pre-reading class with Teacher Eileen, and we couldn't be happier with the experience!"
— Yun Rui Lee, Google Review"When we initially started working with Teacher Eileen, my child couldn't speak any English. By the third week, however, he was speaking English, which was a delightful surprise! I'm incredibly grateful to Teacher Eileen for tailoring the lessons to my child's interests. We now feel confident that he's ready to start Primary 1. We really appreciate Teacher Eileen!"
— Parents of Sun Yi Bo, K2"The teacher (Mrs Chua) is a very approachable and supportive teacher towards her students, even going the extra mile to ensure every student gets something out of every lesson. The lessons are customised to fit accordingly, and go beyond MOE standard."
— Alex Chua, Parent of Adele (P4)"Mrs Chua is very driven and dedicated to teaching. The children under her care are very lucky, as she makes sure the programme is designed to help them improve. The programme is interesting and helped them become more interested in learning."
— Eileen, Parent of Ellery (P2)"Mrs Chua is a caring and thoughtful teacher."
— PJ, Parent of Keith (P4)"My daughter attended the year-end holiday programme in 2024 and had such a wonderful time! She came home so excited to tell me all about the activities, especially how she got to create a new ending to the classic Gingerbread Man story. She also made Gingerbread Man sandwiches, the kind of fun, messy activity that all kids love but rarely get the chance to do at home. I really loved how the programme encouraged her to use her imagination and creativity while learning. Thank you for making learning such a fun and enjoyable experience for the children!"
— Ernestina Goh, Google Review"My daughter went for a creative expression class with teacher Eileen and she enjoyed the session very much. She got to learn more about herself through the creative process and it was a fun yet therapeutic session to think and express oneself through arts."
— Delene Lee, Google Review"We've had a really positive experience with Ms Eileen. My son genuinely enjoys her classes and always looks forward to them. The lessons are creative and engaging, with interesting topics and a good variety of activities covering listening, speaking, reading and writing. Ms Eileen also keeps a close eye on his progress and has given him extra support when needed, which we really appreciate."
— Jing, Google Review"Ms Eileen has been teaching my son for a few years during his kindergarten days. She is a very passionate and patient teacher, she always has creative ideas to make the lesson fun especially for young kids. When entering P1, my son's school teacher noticed he got a strong phonics foundation and he loves to read books until now."
— Melissa Koh, Google Review"A Truly Wonderful English Teacher Who Makes a Difference. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Eileen and her tuition centre. She has been nurturing our son since he was just 5 years old, and watching him grow under her guidance over the years has been truly heartwarming. What sets Eileen apart is her genuine love for young children, passion for teaching, dedication and professionalism. She doesn't simply teach English, she creates an environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves, asking questions and discovering the joy of learning. Over the years, we have seen such a positive transformation in our son. He has become increasingly curious, eloquent and creative, and much of this confidence and love for language can be attributed to the foundation Eileen patiently built with him from such a young age. Eileen has always been encouraging and attentive, understanding that every child learns differently. Her commitment goes far beyond the classroom, and it is clear that teaching is not merely a job to her, it is something she genuinely cares about. We are especially grateful that she has been part of our son's growing-up journey. From a little 5-year-old boy to the confident young learner he is today, Eileen has played a meaningful role in shaping his love for English and learning. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a teacher who teaches not just with knowledge, but with heart. Thank you, Eileen, for nurturing our son with so much patience, passion and care!"
— PJ Wong, Google Review"It was a fun and engaging approach to help children build their vocabulary and confidence in using the English language. The children thoroughly enjoyed the customised programme and had lots of fun with the activities."
— Sok Leng Tay, Google Review"Sent my son for the holiday program and it was awesome! My boy does not open up easily to new teachers but Teacher Eileen helped him feel at ease easily. She is a very patient and dedicated teacher. He really enjoyed the class and already asking when is the next class. Will send him again if the holiday classes fit our schedule :)"
— Eileen H Chan, Google Review"I signed my lower primary child up for a few of the holiday programs and he enjoyed the hands-on activities. I'd rather he learn and play and have fun than watch the iPad. Teacher Eileen will customise the complexity of the activity based on the child's level so it's not too difficult for the younger ones, nor too easy for the more advanced kids (we saw it during one of the holiday classes with a 5 y/o and 8 y/o). Looking forward to more classes!"
— Estee Chong, Google Review"I have seen my son Jared's progress over time as he has become more confident in his writing and reading. I am always well-informed of my son's progress as well. Thank you Lit Adventure and Teacher Eileen!"
— ShingNi Chong, Google Review"My son, Javier, absolutely loves attending Teacher Eileen's classes. Her own unique program is not only highly interactive but also deeply engaging. What sets her apart is the way she brings stories from books to life, using real-time gestures and movements, like going under or going over actions, to make the narrative tangible and memorable. This immersive approach keeps Javier involved and excited, and is also the reason why he is always looking forward to her lessons. Her creativity and dedication make learning a joyful experience, and we couldn't be more grateful for the impact she's had on my child's enthusiasm for reading and storytelling."
— Gary Sim, Google Review"The lessons are fun and engaging. Kids enjoy the lessons and look forward to going. Kudos to the teachers who spend the time to understand the needs and tailor the classes accordingly!"
— Christine Ng, Google Review"Everything started with a day camp back in the early days, and the rest is history~ Jairus has been attending Teacher Eileen's classes since his K2 days, and it has been so heartening to see how much his confidence has grown over the years. We have also witnessed how nurturing and patient Teacher Eileen is with the children. Jairus always comes out of her classes happy, which says a lot about how comfortable and encouraged he feels in her class. What we really appreciate is how Teacher Eileen encourages the kids to think and try things out for themselves before stepping in with the answer. We feel this is an important aspect in learning, which not only builds their knowledge, but also boosts their confidence and independence. We're really thankful to have had Teacher Eileen be part of Jairus' learning journey all these years!"
— Weixin Ting, Google Review"Ms. Eileen is an experienced teacher and we've been 'following' her since many years. My eldest was 6 back then and he is 14 now! I've now enrolled the 2 younger siblings with The Lit Adventure even though they have now shifted to a different location. My children are always looking forward to the lessons. Whenever I pick them up from class, they'll be happy to share what they have learnt and more often than not, they mentioned that they had fun and enjoyed the lessons a lot! Onwards to greater adventures of learning English literacy with you, Ms. Eileen!"
— Asthrysia Amin, Google Review"We are so grateful for Teacher Eileen! Gladys has been taking English tuition from her since 2024. What makes her stand out is how she goes down to the roots to build a solid foundation for the language, and we have seen a great improvement in her confidence and skills. She is a dedicated and amazing teacher who genuinely cares about her students' growth. Massive congratulations on your new tuition centre, Teacher Eileen! Wishing you the very best for this wonderful new beginning."
— Phyllis Goh, Google Review"Teacher Eileen is a professional and dedicated educator - we have seen huge improvements in not just our kids' language ability, but also their confidence in reading, writing and communication. Thanks for being such an inspiring figure in their learning journey!"
— Marco Low, Google Review"We've been with Mrs Chua for 8 years! She is strict yet dedicated, and her lessons are engaging and effective. The programme she designed has really helped my kids build an interest in the language and overcome their struggles with writing. Highly recommended!"
— Eileen Sim, Google Review"I would totally recommend The Lit Adventure to any parent looking for an English literacy enrichment centre that provides fun and engaging lessons for their child. Teacher Eileen absolutely has a way of incorporating fun learning into her lessons, making it easier for children to learn naturally and happily without feeling pressured. She also updates parents on what was taught in every lesson which allows us to play our part in helping with revision and keeping track of our child's progress in class. During each Parent-Teacher Conference, the teachers would share that my son's phonics had improved tremendously and that he was able to understand the rules quickly. Hearing this always put me at ease and reassured me that he was progressing well. We also love their June and December holiday programmes so much that we participate every single time! Teacher Eileen puts in so much effort to create fun and engaging programmes where the children get to enjoy hands-on activities while learning along the way. My son never fails to check in with me from time to time to ask if the holiday programmes are ready for sign-up and I always have to tell him to wait patiently! These are the reasons why I'm more than willing to travel all the way from MacPherson to Alexandra Central Mall every week just to make sure my son gets to attend his lesson. He genuinely looks forward to every weekly lesson, the little after-class plays with his friends and borrowing storybooks from their little library. It's really heartwarming to see how much he enjoys learning and I'm so glad we found The Lit Adventure!"
