Principal’s Message

Dear Concerned Parents

Thank you for taking the time to consider Inspire as the centre of choice for your child’s studies. I would like to address some of your concerns here.


17 years of experience nurturing struggling students

Our teachers have personally nurtured struggling students to achieve success year after year since 2007, giving them the ability to obtain entry into higher learning opportunities. Whether you are a school dropout, from NT or NA background, or an O Level re-taker, you can get into Polytechnic or University. All of us have the same goal of helping these students achieve success.


The high success rate for progression to further education

Our students have achieved established university degrees or polytechnic diplomas after passing through our doors for private candidate O Levels or A Levels. Our students are able to make up for lost time with our intensive 10-month programmes, with a guided and structured curriculum.


Building up your child for positive outcomes

We build emotional and mental resilience in your child as well as character and discipline. Our teachers feel that these aspects are just as important as academic results.


How can your child benefit from our courses? Is his / her life better after joining Inspire?

Your child …
– Copes better with stress and anxiety;
– Gains self-confidence via learning about individual strengths and weaknesses;
– Feels accepted through close friendships and non-judgemental teachers;
– Studies more independently;
– Builds a closer relationship with you through handling tough times and stress;
– Learns about your perspective;
– Learns more about real-world issues; and
– Gets close support from teachers until their actual exams.

You are most welcome to approach the staff of our Centre if you have any queries or concerns, we will do our utmost to assist you.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Andre Ho,

Principal and Manager
Inspire Education Centre

Academic Excellence

Our courses are mainly designed with the Ministry of Education’s syllabus in mind. Our teachers are approved by an Academic Board which ensures that they are qualified to teach the respective subjects. The Academic Board also ensures the academic quality and rigor of our courses are up to standard. Our centre’s Examination Board oversees the development of examination and assessment procedures for our centre’s internal examinations.

At Inspire Education Centre, students will be mentored, tutored, and motivated to perform better academically. We have qualified teachers and staff who are capable of delivering quality educational programs as well as providing excellent student services.

Apart from the usual tutorials and practicals, our experienced teachers will equip students with the academic skills to excel (like memory skills, organisational and analytical skills, etc). Our teachers have carefully developed tutorials to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of each student. They will be advised on the common pitfalls and how to develop better academic skills so that they can improve.

For our preparatory classes, the average teacher to student ratio is 1:9 to 18 so that every student has sufficient attention from our teachers.
