Lucy Tan - Our Team
Lucy Tan
More than 12 years ago, Lucy made a decision to embark on a teaching career in special education. She wanted to take her passion in special education to the next level and contribute as an educator.
Over these years, she has continuously strived to improve and challenge herself in various capacities as a Special Needs Coordinator (SENCo), an educational consultant, teaching team leader, early intervention teacher, and volunteering as an inclusion ambassador.
Lucy believes in the pursuit of knowledge and has completed a Master of Education (Special Education) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. She wanted to complement her practical know-how with knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for evaluating evidence-based approaches, thus discerning and applying these approaches in practical teaching.
Currently, as a Learning Support Coordinator, she is driven by her personal conviction and belief in inclusive education where she believes that all children deserve the right to learn, develop, and grow alongside their peers in a general social setting of an inclusive school environment. She endeavors to create and develop provisions for all children to ensure equity, where children who may have additional needs have accommodations and support to maximize their learning.
