What Teachers Say About Us

"Children are able to visualize and better understand complex concepts with the aid of visual cues and animation. S.M.I.L.E has not only successfully engaged their interest but is also able to explain Mathematical concepts clearly."

- Stephanie Low,


Ex-Singapore Ministry of Education Teacher, M.D (Applied Psychology), P.G.D Ed, B. Sc

"I found that S.M.I.L.E engages my students differently from text-based resources. Children are able to visualize and better understand complex concepts with the aid of visual cues and animation.

S.M.I.L.E is suitable for and enables self-directed learning as it has the content, measures and assessment in place. It has certainly made learning easier for children during this difficult time.”

- Leong Lai Fong,


Ex-Singapore Ministry of Education Teacher, MA (English Studies), BA (with Dip.Ed)
