KELVIN GOH

I am a Singaporean and have been in the Education Industry for more than 20 years, providing academic and enrichment programmes to schools and institutions for more than 10,000 students.

Besides English, I am able to speak Mandarin and other Chinese dialects like Hokkien and Cantonese.



The program EQ PAWER WRITING works on 2 areas; English Writing skills (mechanics of writing, sentence construction, vocabulary, grammar etc) and EQ (through inspiring stories to develop attitudinal skills and lifeskills),.. This is similar to the adults' motivational program like Anthony Robbin / BrianTracy etc (except that my program is a watered down version suited for children).



Writing helps develop your cognitive growth, organizational abilities, and the power to influence others through persuasion. In short, writing powers the brain. The ability to write is so important as a skills-set for children but yet it is often a skill-set that is so lacking in many of our Asian children. Opportunities to practice English writing in schools are lacking and so is the lack of writing skills for children, particularly in Asia.



I make writing lessons very interesting as I intersperse lessons with games and fun activities (lots of inspirational story-telling and drama).

EQ / Character Building is developed as children are inspired with the motivational and interesting stories, used as a context to discuss and write.



The program adopts Scientifically Researched Evidence-based Ways to teach Character Education. It is also noteworthy to mention that the achievement motivation and study skills training programme was proven effective in an action research done as a theses submission for the MA (Educational Management) programme at NIE / NTU.

Many of the inspirational stories and topics shared in the program inculcate values, habits, competencies and skills in children, particularly social emotional learning (SEL). These are important skills needed to recognize and manage emotions, develop care and concern for others, make responsible decision, establish positive relationships and handle challenging situations.
