Both my kids achieved single digit ALs for their PSLE. Tr Faith, Tr Jo, Tr Sherlyn were fundamental to their achievements. They were always supportive and encouraging. Identifying weaknesses in techniques, focused on building strong concepts and habits for success. Your words of encouragement and belief in their abilities really means alot to them.

By chance we found Bluetree near our place and had decided to enrol my P5 into the Science class in prep for PSLE. Previously my boy did both subjects in a pretty well known Enrichment centre. Key thing is my boy was doing AL4/5 in school before he enrolled into Bluetree. Today he came back with an AL1 for PSLE 2024!! Uber proud of him, who strongly commended Teacher Jo for his success.

My child attended BlueTree Maths tuition since she was P6. She enjoyed learning with the teachers here. As such she requested to do secondary Maths at BlueTree. We’d like to thank her P6 teachers, Tr Valerie and Tr Hui Lin and her current Sec 1 teachers, Tr Seah Hui and Tr Nicholas for their patience, dedications and commitment in supporting my child’s learning journey.
