What are your fondest memories from Tutor Time?
The most memorable moment for me at tutor time was a class project. We were exploring the concept of chemical reactions using the classic baking soda and vinegar experiment. I just remember gasping in disbelief during the demonstration and screaming with my classmates; Quite a memorable introduction to science.

Is there anything you want to say to our Tutor Time students and teachers?
To my teachers: It must have been a headache managing 5 year old me, let alone a whole class of toddlers. Thinking back makes me have so much respect for all of you. Thank you for always taking care of us with warmth.

To my fellow classmates: I hope you guys are well. Crazy to think we’re headed to or already at university! Although my memories of tutor time have largely faded over the past 14 years, I remember that my favourite part of kindergarten was seeing you guys at school. I wish the best of luck for your promising future and I hope we cross paths again!
