Our Programme Director

Yvonne Grace Low

Yvonne has been actively involved in the educational scene for more than 20 years. She started her teaching career in a primary school and in 1994 she became the first Head of Department for English in Northland Primary School. As the English HOD, she led her team of teachers to raise the school’s quality passes [A and A*] for PSLE English from below national average to 8% above national average in 2000. To date, the school continues to enjoy high quality grades that consistently surpass the national average.

In 1999, she was invited by the Curriculum Division at Teachers’ Network on two occasions to share her knowledge and experience as an English HOD to more than 30 newly-appointed HODs in Singapore.

Being an avid reader herself, she was active in promoting reading and the love for books in children. The reading programme “I Would Rather Read” was introduced to the school and had significantly increased the library loan rate amongst the lower primary students from 25% to 80%. This was a whole-year project that eventually won the school’s first Gold Award in the National Quality Circles Convention.

For a period of two years, she contributed monthly articles to the In TOUCH with the Family magazine. She wrote primarily on the value of quality picture books for young children and, in particular, on the techniques of sharing character values through storytelling.

Since she left the public sector in 2000, Yvonne has been the residential Programme Director of Learning Point, a private enrichment centre. She has spearheaded a couple of whole-year language enrichment courses for primary school gifted students as well as Integrated Programme secondary school students.

She regularly conducts classroom management and language-related courses for her Learning Point teachers as well as professional trainers under the Mastereign Enrichment Group. She still teaches and inspires her Learning Point students to excel and become lifelong learners.

Yvonne’s first book, Living Lasting Legacy: A Journey To Begin, published by Rank Books in 2004, is written with the desire to get young people thinking about living a life that counts.

She has a Bachelor of Arts in English Language & Literature. Currently, she is pursuing a Master of Arts in Organisational Leadership offered by Azusa Pacific University (USA).
