ALEC – Aunty Lavina Education Centre | Excellence in Education – ALEC – Aunty Lavina Education Centre

Why Alec?

ALEC has grown tremendously over the years. It now has a team of over 20 committed tutors that specialize in a wide range of subject areas suited for varying student needs; a far cry from Aunty Lavina’s 2 bedroom house when everything first started. In spite of this, ALEC still maintains a consistent approach to all its tutoring services, regardless of subject, grade level, or teacher.

Our Core Values

Encouraging Growth

We believe wholeheartedly that tutoring is not a mere stop-gap measure that addresses deficiencies and plugs holes in student learning…

Eliminating Weaknesses

We believe that to make students BETTER we have to help them overcome their specific academic limitations. But even more than that…

Holistic Development

And finally, we believe that tutoring is not just about creating better Maths students, Science students, or English students. Being good in Maths…

Testimonials

Since I started ALEC, I felt very comfortable with the teaching environment.I have been encouraged and supported and pushed when I needed it. I found it especially helpful at times when I didn’t really understand something in class at school, but my ALEC tutor spent the time to explain it so that I won’t forget.I was so very happy with my A* GCSE result and I would like to thank Aunty Lavina and ALEC for all they have done.

For my GCSEs, I received all A*s with one A. Mandarin used to be one of my weakest subjects and I was averaging a B but after tutoring at ALEC, my grades dramatically improved and I was a borderline A* at the end of the two years. Furthermore, additional maths is a very challenging curriculum with up to 60% of the Maths IB syllabus touched upon. Getting an A* in additional maths seems to be an impossible goal to many but with the help of ALEC and hard work, I am living proof that even the most far-flung of dreams can become reality.

I began going to ALEC about 2-3 years ago. From the beginning, I realised that doing weekly math classes with Aunty Lavina helped me do better at school. It was a great help to be able to have extra support and going to ALEC helped me to improve my grades. After this great experience, I decided to start chinese and science tutoring at ALEC as well. Not only were the teachers extremely nice, but they were very educated in my curriculum and taught me exactly what I need to know. With the help of ALEC, I was able to get IGCSE scores that I am very proud of.

I have been going to lessons in ALEC since the summer before Year 11, and it has helped me improve on my subjects tremendously throughout my IGCSEs and A-Levels. I have done various subjects with different teachers in ALEC, and all of them have been very patient and guided me through areas I needed improvement in. The primary subject I have done in ALEC is Maths with Aunty Lavina herself! She has provided me with many resources to aid my studies, answered all of my uncertainties in Maths and ensured I understand each topic thoroughly.

Hi Lavina – I can’t express enough appreciation 💕to you for your time, patience and dedication to tutoring Jasmine in Maths for all those years since Year 11. I’m sure she has already informed you her A-Level results with all four straight A*s including Maths.I am blessed that Jasmine is ready for her next life chapter – to pursue her dreamed STEM based university at Imperial College in 🇬🇧.

– Parent of Jasmine

Aunty Lavina really helped me where classroom lessons couldn’t. Math is a subject that I have always struggled with and the rapid pace of learning in the classroom made understanding certain concepts arduous. Receiving one on one attention from a tutor who would delineate the steps of difficult problems in a straightforward manner really helped me understand the mechanics of what I was trying to learn. Aunty Lavina also helped me work towards realistic goals and pushed me towards trying harder in math while giving me invaluable support at the same time.

– Natalie Kainz

Starting Maths at Year 7, I was nervous and scared of what to expect from starting Middle School. All these new concepts in Maths from algebra to graphs, much different from the long division and repetitive concepts of Primary School and Kumon. However, going to ALEC and being tutored by Aunty Lavina has greatly helped and improved my confidence in the field of maths and is largely the reason I was able to achieve high in the subject throughout KGV.

– Samuel

I enrolled my two children for preparing IB & IGCSE in ALEC.Tutors are truly outstanding and reliable. They are very supportive and well know about student’s requirements. Especially their effective learning & revising programs are quite helpful to assist with school assignment. Even more my children learn good study skills and what to do.They got lots of progress and built more confidence in their subjects.Appreciate ALEC for providing guidance and taking valuable time for the teaching lessons.

When I was student I used to come to Aunty for Maths and she has instilled such a solid foundation and understanding that I can never forget it. She’s very knowledgeable and the undoubtedly the best in the business. She would always challenge me to better and now working at ALEC has helped me realise my passion for teaching in a very encouraging and supportive environment. It has been such a delight to work alongside Aunty.
