Jonathan, Nanyang Junior College

Dear Mr Phay,
Happy Teacher’s Day!

Thanks for being one of the best teachers to grace my class. From the very start, you’ve made me very comfortable and at ease about coming for econs tuition, though I originally felt reluctant.

The econs class that I’ve been put in has truly been the best tuition I’ve ever been in before. I don’t understand why students would even leave your class, or why your other classes don’t laugh, but I love the atmosphere and ambience of the Nanyang classes. And only you could have created this class for us.

Should a man work hard for something, and yet be unable to put on a true smile reflecting the happiness in his heart, all he will feel is a sense of emptiness. Therefore, thank you for colouring our classes with laughter, and our hearts with joy. This journey for econs has been embedded with many bright spots I will fondly recall, thanks to you.

The measure of a teacher is not restricted to how well he can teach. That is merely an educator. The true measure of a teacher lies in his ability to influence his students; to impact their hearts. To teach the most precious subject of all: life.
Even when all the econs knowledge you have taught me has faded, your life lessons, your teachings about confidence, these shall remain.

So thank you for your dedication to your students. Thank you for showing that you are not just an educator, but a true teacher. The teacher teaches the student, and the student teaches the teacher, I hope you learn something from us before our classes end.

Thanks for everything.

– Jon
