Miss Loi the Private Tutor
Miss Loi is a full-time private tutor in Singapore. Her life’s calling is to eradicate the terrifying Last-Minute Buddha Foot Hugging (LMBFH) Syndrome off the face of this planet. As such, she has been saving helping countless desperate students through regular joss sticks sessions for the past 17 years (and counting). Regardless of whether the students are from the so-called ‘elite’ schools, neighbourhood schools, GEP, IP, IB, or whatever twisted concoction the MOE conjures up, Miss Loi has seen and handled them all.
And by the way, she specializes in O-Levels Additional/Elementary Mathematics and possesses the eerily prophetic ability to ’spot’ the right questions that will appear in upcoming tests/exams.

(Bs included for proof of realism)
A product of the national education system herself, Miss Loi fully recognizes its many shortcomings and therefore goes the extra mile to ensure that they do not infect her current generation of students. As such her focus is on developing her students’ ability to grasp concepts rather than hard-core memorizing, and also to encourage approaching questions from different angles. In fact she expects her students’ study objective be an ‘aim for distinction‘, rather than a ‘just to pass‘!
For the record she holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from NUS. She will never state her year of graduation lest someone tries to deduce her real age.
Miss Loi the Lifestyle Guru
When not tutoring (and to prepare for her eventual tai tai lifestyle), Miss Loi indulges in a wide variety of Singaporean pastimes like retail therapy (i.e. shopping), trips to Japan/Korea/Taiwan (i.e. for more shopping) and with posts like this one, it’s pretty obvious she has been watching too many Hong Kong & Korean dramas.
With positive influence from friends in recent years, however, she now dabbles in more extreme activities like scuba diving and adventure travels. Currently, she is a bit into cars.
