About Concept Discovery Learning Centre
Hi, I'm Rachel!
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Welcome to my humble learning centre!
I am passionate about nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning.
My education background is diverse and robust, equipping me with a unique blend of skills to support and inspire my students.As a graduate of Business Management(Bsc) ,I realised the degree offers a strategic perspective on education business, allowing me to implement innovative and efficient ways to run the centre.
In addition, I hold certification in phonics and creative writing, enabling me to create engaging and effective literacy programs. My training in child psychology and basic counselling provides me with the tools to understand and support the emotional and developmental needs of my students, ensuring a nurturing and inclusive learning environment.
My approach to teaching is holistic and student-centered, focusing on building not just academic skills but also confidence, creativity, and emotional well-being. I strongly believe in the power of personalized learning experiences that cater to each child’s unique needs and strengths.
This approach will be different from other mainstream centres as I've wanted to cultivate purposeful learning. I also wish to highlight that this will not be a place where we do endless explanation and mindless repetitive work. In fact, we offer games, discussion and activities in classes on top of worksheet practices to cultivate deeper understanding.
My teaching journey begins in 2011. I started off as a part-time tutor in my uni days, offering aid to primary school students. My students commented that they had benefitted from my session. This has allowed me to gain confidence in teaching. Soon, my teaching career continued in several well-known learning centres and I began to help small-medium enterprises to build their learning centres, create curriculum, methods and manage their operational system. That's when I had an epiphany - Why not turn monotonous learning into something fun and create an inclusive environment for the students? That's when I decided to take up the challenge of setting up my own business.
Since then, I have helped over 100+ students and never looked back!
Chapter 2: The Journey
The decision to pursue the education industry was purely due to the love of interacting with young children.
Gradually, this love of mine grew stronger when I came to realise how fulfilling it is to educate the younger generation. I get to craft my own lesson plans and observe the outcome of injecting meaningful fun activities during lesson time.
After becoming a mother in the year 2017, it affirms my decision to stay in the education line and not move on to any other industry.
With this mindset of mine, I wanted to reach out to more students to create positive impact in their studies. At the same time, I would be able to share these experiences with my child. My goal is to help them develop a love for learning while easing the stress that often comes with it - for both parents and students.

Chapter 3: the ways
Being able to educate the children in their growing years is truly meaningful to me when the students have benefitted from my teaching. One of my greatest moments was when the students are able to witness their own improvement, sparking greater interest in what they learnt!
Through my 13 years of experience in the education industry, I have helped students to thrive in their academics in smaller class size and reframe their mindset in studies.
Having smaller class size truly allows me to have greater control of time and the flexibility to use a wide range of teaching strategies to cater to different students with varied learning abilities.
-Journey continues-
As my journey in education continues, teachers ,who share the same passion and beliefs as I do, have joined my team to help the children in many ways.
Feel free to reach out or explore more about my teaching approach on this website.
I look forward to connecting with you.
Meet The Team!
Hi I'm Auntie Belle!
I take care of the operations and adminstrative side of Concept Discovery. I would describe myself as positive, with a jovial personality and dry sense of humour. I love babies and young kids, and I enjoy conversations with the young and old. In my spare time, I love reading, baking, hiking and travelling.
I believe that embracing values like honesty, kindness, empathy, charity, and thoughtfulness, coupled with a steadfast belief in faith, hope, love, and patience, is essential for navigating life and fostering strong family bonds, regardless of how the world becomes.
Hi I'm Teacher Rina!
I had graduated from NTU, majoring in both Biological Sciences and Psychology. This particular course allows me to learn more about the human behaviour, human emotions and brain biology.
Passionate about developmental and social psychology, I aim to be a Pediatric Psychologist. Through my recent internship with special needs children, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability, and Global Development Delay, I gained insights into effective communication and the pivotal role of a child's environment in shaping their future. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction when students are able to understand my teachings and put them into good use.
In my free time, I like to read as well as play floorball! Come say hi to me :)
Hi I'm Teacher Ying!
Being a NTU graduate majoring in Biological Sciences and Psychology, I have a passion for neuroscience and aim to pursue graduate studies in the future.
I have loved math since I was young because of its challenge and satisfaction from solving every single question. It is always enjoyable to take on a question regardless of its difficulty and it is fun going through the thinking process. I hope to impart this aptitude of mine to my students too :)
In my free time, I am a regular volunteer for the intellectually disabled, helping them gain confidence in learning social skills and integrating with the society. During my free time, I enjoy crocheting, baking and rock climbing!
