What Clients Say
Hess Academy has ignited my son's interest in English and has given him the motivation to strive for excellence. I notice great improvement in the quality of his school work in just 2 months.
Teacher Lin Tze listens to feedback and make adjustments to her teaching style and class materials to suit the needs of the child. I am impressed and hope Hess Academy can continue to create value to their students.
Jean Lim
My PSLE son did an online English course and it was truly an amazing and worthwhile experience. Having had previous experience with online sessions, I must say I didn’t expect much but when my son, Lucas, was placed in Teacher Naga’s class for the trial session, he was impressed and so was I. From then onwards, everything went as smoothly as could be expected. Teacher Naga was able to capture the respect and attention of his class. The course work is also impressive and well researched and complied. We are truly grateful to Teacher Naga and Sean who helped with all admin matters. Thank you for the AL2 in English that Lucas secured, it is a far cry from the previous AL3-4.
