Testimonials

Here are what
some parents say

sleep_disorders_affect_children_of__all__ages_1

My child started social skills sessions 6 months ago. He is less emotional this year and says the sessions make things clearer for him.
Parent of a 10-year-old boy with High Functioning Autism
My child can apply the executive functions strategies taught to her when I remind her. She knows these strategies by heart and has become more organised in her work.
Parent of a 9-year-old girl with Attention Deficit Disorder
My daughter attended counselling sessions. She goes to school regularly now and knows how to deal with stressful situations better. She is more cheerful now.
Parent of a 17-year-old teenager with Anxiety Disorder
As a parent, I learnt to be patient and to apply rules consistently at home. I cannot expect him to be a perfect human. CHEERS guide me to manage my own expectation and let go of things I cannot control.
Parent of a 5-year-old boy with Autism Spectrum Disorder
My child is in Primary 2 but cannot manage basic reading comprehension before he started sessions. I can see improvement because they teach him the basic phonological sounds before proceeding to individual words. I didn’t know that he was pretending to read before.
Parent of a 7-year-old boy with Dyslexia
She failed Chinese throughout Primary One to Four and almost had to drop to foundation level. In the past, she attended group tuition but no use. Thankfully, we tried one trial lesson at Cheers Learning and she liked the lesson. For the first time, she passed her Chinese exam.
Parent of a Primary 5 girl attending Chinese tuition
My child has developmental delay. He has always been a slow learner and scared of scoldings. The teacher is very patient in guiding him. We see that he is happier in learning now.
Parent of a 12-year-old boy attending English tuition
My boy was having lots of trouble paying attention and behaving in class. We went down for one sitting of the assessment. The process is fast, from assessment to report discussion just took 3 weeks. The report has helped us tremendously to understand his learning and behavior profile.
Parent of a 10 year old child seeking psychological assessment
The school wanted an updated assessment report for the PSLE but hospital wait is very long. We opt for Cheers Learning. The service is fast and professional. The report is 11 pages long with full explanation of her learning difficulties. I find the recommendations very helpful.
