Hi Eden

After attending your sessions, I feel very confident when I am interacting with other people. It has helped me a lot. The skills I have learnt at your sessions can be put to use at most of the areas in my academics. I also feel that I have done well due to the time, dedication and coaching you have given me. Thank you!!!

Hi Eden

Thanks a lot and I appreciate you taking out time to train Nitika on such a short notice. There is a lot of difference in her personality and her confidence level. I like the strategies you used in your sessions. She confidently attended the interview and hope to hear positive results from the secondary school.

                 Personal Statement

Ms Eden helped me in writing the personal statement as it is my dream to go to medical school. I found her guidance and advice very helpful, allowing me to explain things in a clearer and more methodical way. She helps me unearth my strengths and giftings, and was effective in probing what I do for community service. Ms Eden gently corrects my areas of improvement and gave me good suggestions to bolster my personal statement.

Interviewing Skills

Eden was extremely helpful in preparing me for my scholarship interview. She shared many pointers to me and was very experienced in providing me with concrete details about what to do during my interview; her advice about body language was the most useful to me as it is something that I have never heard contrary to what I always hear and read from interview materials and friends which generally centered on the answering techniques. Her guidance and pointers helped to prepare for almost every question my interviewers raised.  

Eden‘s guidance gave me a sense of peace before and after my interview that was how I knew that Eden did a very good job in preparing me.

Interviewing Skills

Hi Miss Pang,
Thank you for giving me the right set of knowledge regarding interview. I am very happy with my actual interview today. I managed to do correct many of the things you mentioned and used answers to the questions we all shared as a class.  I look forward to the next lesson with you.

               Interviewing Skills (Hwa Chong International Entrance Interview)

              Ms Eden has equipped me with the right skills in tackling my interview. She was

              very structured in preparing me for different types of interview questions. Sweaty

              palms,  butterflies in the stomach were gone as we rehearsed how to tackle the

              questions. That gave me the confidence which impressed the interviewers. She

              also taught me the importance of visual language in an interview. I eventually got into  

              my dream school – Hwa Chong International School

Challenges of school admission interviews

For a child, having to attend an interview is a very intimidating experience. In this competitive world, where there are long queues of candidates wanting to go into the “right” school, this is an effective method to separate the sheep from the goats, to weed out those candidates who are not passionate enough or who do not possess the personality traits they are looking for. For many schools, the admission interview is critical in ensuring that candidates are the right fit for their institution.

Most people have misconceptions about interviews. Firstly, some people think it is not possible to prepare for interviews since we cannot predict what the interviewers are going to ask. Secondly, some people think it is possible to prepare for interviews by predicting questions, having formulaic answers, and memorising them word for word. But the problem with this method is that your answers will sound stilted and such preparation will not help you to create flexible answers for the endless variants of possible questions.

The good news is, it is possible for one to prepare for the interviews and strategic preparation for interviews makes a phenomenal difference to the interview performance on the day itself. In this hands–on workshop, participants will increase their confidence in “selling themselves” through mini lectures, roles plays with both peers and trainers.
