Founded in 2005, Le Shepherd Education Centre was created to provide the best quality education, which is very engaging.  

Following our success of starting up our initial courses, we decided to build the first fully functional fun filled science laboratory  in 2007.  Ever since, new interesting and fun courses are being set up with students getting excellent grades!

In the near future, Le Shepherd Education Centre will be introducing line up of educational courses and products that will ensure learning to be fun and scoring of grades to be effortless.

Here is the team!

Fiona Hong (Partner and Bio, Chem Specialist)
Fiona is a tutor who believes that every student matters, and every student is different. Although lessons are conducted in groups, Fiona works on giving each and everyone a degree of individual attention. Furthermore, students are free to question via sms or facebook anytime a query on studies arises. Many have done so and benefited from this extra touch.

Fiona holds a Bachelors Degree in Science (Pure Biology) from National University of Singapore (NUS). She has been tutoring for 8 years, and has previously taught a wide variety of students such as Japanese housewives (due to her ability to speak Japanese), Korean and PRC students, students from Boy’s Town (during her stint at Assumption English School as a full time teacher) and many local students from both neighbourhood and independent schools alike. For O’levels Chemistry, 85% of her ex-students have scored distinctions.

Fiona’s love for using hands on experiments to explain concepts (made possible by the Le Shepherd Laboratory) truly perks up the interest of her Chemistry and Biology students during class. As an avid nature lover, Fiona has also worked as a Zoo-keeper in the Singapore Zoo before joining the tuition sector. She actively brings her past experiences with the close contact of the animals in her care, into the learning of Biology, greatly enhancing the fun and the application of concepts to real-life. Fiona has also written a research paper on the population and distribution of horseshoe crabs Carsinoscorpius rotundicauda in the Kranji mangroves during her undergraduate days.

Moreover, after being a mother of one, Fiona understands clearly what a parent is looking for and will always do her best in ensuring the Centre provides the best for the students.
