Join from home, privately, at a time that suits your schedule.
My story, in short
I grew up in Singapore, studied at ACS, and began teaching English and History in 1989. I taught at Temasek Secondary, St. Hilda's and St. Francis Methodist, where I was also the A level Coordinator.
In 1998 I moved into pastoral counselling and youth work, then spent many years as a school counsellor building pastoral care programmes. I hosted TEENTALK on 93.8LIVE, co-wrote a book called HeartWarmers, and serve in the worship ministry at St. Hilda's Church.
Good questions

In their words
Mr Poulier made English feel less like a subject and more like something I could actually enjoy. He was patient with me when I struggled with GP essays, and by A levels I finally felt confident in my writing.
Our son was losing interest in English until he started lessons with Ian. Ian took the time to understand him, not just his grades. His results improved, but more importantly, so did his confidence.
Uncle Ian was there for me at a really difficult time in my life. He listened without judging and helped me see things more clearly. Years later, he's still someone I can turn to.
No pressure, just a friendly chat
Ask a question, book a tuition class, or set up a counselling session.
Your goals. My commitment.
