"As an educational therapist, my focus is not restricted to academic performance or solely ensuring that full attention is paid to worksheets or examinations. My aim is to foster intrinsic motivation—where a student is genuinely interested in the subject matter, can relate to it, and wants to engage—and will persevere. I firmly believe that intrinsic motivation is essential for long-term gains in learning. To achieve this, we need to understand a student’s learning style, hopes, and dreams. One size does not fit all; it’s about harnessing a child’s potential to work toward progress."

At Kidz OTC, our approach to literacy goes beyond just academic skills like reading and writing. We believe in nurturing intrinsic motivation, so students find genuine interest in what they’re learning. We focus on foundational skills such as phonics and decoding, not just to build reading abilities, but to instil a love for reading that encourages engagement and perseverance. By enhancing reading comprehension and writing skills—including spelling, grammar, and composition—we empower students to express themselves confidently.

We make learning engaging through multi-sensory approaches that bring lessons to life with visual aids and hands-on activities. Our structured literacy programs offer a systematic way to learn, while storytelling encourages creativity and vocabulary development.

  • Phonics and Decoding: Building foundational reading skills.
  • Reading Comprehension: Enhancing understanding of texts.

In our work with numeracy, we emphasise understanding mathematics as a meaningful part of everyday life. We start with basic number sense, fostering skills in counting and comparing numbers, and move on to mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Problem-solving and critical thinking are woven into our lessons, ensuring students see the relevance of maths in their lives.

Using hands-on manipulatives helps visualise these concepts, while real-life applications connect maths to everyday situations. Interactive games create a fun, engaging learning environment.

  • Basic Number Sense: Counting and comparing numbers.
  • Operations: Mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

For language, our goal is to enhance communication in both English and Chinese, focusing on developing vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills. Language learning is immersive, with practices like role-playing and story creation to encourage real-life language use. Visual supports reinforce understanding.

Focus Areas:

  • Vocabulary Development: Expanding word knowledge.
  • Grammar and Syntax: Improving sentence structure and language use.
  • Listening and Speaking Skills: Enhancing oral communication abilities.

In our individual sessions, we tailor instruction to each child’s unique needs, celebrating their strengths and adapting our pace to suit their learning styles. Recognizing that every child is different, we ensure our approach reflects that.

Benefits:

  • Tailored Instruction: Customized learning plans to meet specific needs.
  • Focus on Strengths: Emphasizing personal strengths and challenges.
  • Flexible Pacing: Adapting to each student’s progress and learning style.

In group sessions, we foster a sense of community through peer interaction. Collaboration is key, as students learn from each other and engage in meaningful discussions that enhance their social skills. Ultimately, we aim to harness each child’s potential, encouraging them to explore, connect, and progress on their educational journey.
