A lovely note for our Specialist Teacher, Veena Jayanth, all the way from Turkey!
“Our son was attending DAS before we had to move overseas due to work. We were worried if he could cope in an international school with his learning disabilities. There was only one school teacher who was helping with student support and gradually we realised that our son was not coping well unfortunately the teachers could not do much since they were not specialists. We decided to enrol him for online tutoring under DAS International.
From the first interview, we were comforted by how caring and supportive Ana and Veena were. Our son was extremely comfortable with Veena and didn’t once complain about his online lessons. It has been more than a year now and through mutual support between DAS International and his school, our son’s language skills and handwriting have improved so much.
Most of his teachers are very happy with his progress. He is now much more confident to speak in class and also able to socialise in different environments. Despite the lack of physical interaction and time differences, we feel that having lessons online actually helps him to focus and concentrate more as he is less distracted by unfamiliar surroundings i.e. more comfortable at home. The advancement of online platforms and tools has made it just as effective as a face-to-face class (he has even picked up more computer skills).
It is not only just academic support that our son is receiving from DAS International, but we feel that Veena treats our son like her own and truly believes in his overall well-being and achievement. That’s really going beyond her call of duty – we are blessed!”
