Emmanuel was referred by Dr. Fauziah (Gleneagle Hospital) due to his learning difficulties and to ascertain his cognitive functioning and whether he is dyslexic.

He is able to read one-syllable simple English words and a few of two-syllable Malay words. He is also slow in writing and when asked to copy, he made mistakes easily. However, he is good at memorizing. With regard to his academic activities, Emmanuel is easily bored, but he can spend many hours playing the computer games.

Here is the 'letter' from the father of my first student for 2019 given to me on my request. I have decided to ask for such a letter when a parent comes to see me and then ask for another letter at the end of the tuition.

5.1.2019

To: Mr.Luqman Michel,

My son, Emmanuel Chin, is pre-diagnosed with dyslexia. I have met Dr. Fauziah from Gleneagles and she asked me to consult Dr. Atiqah to do an IQ test before Dr.Fauziah can certify him as dyslexic.

My first student for 2019

On 4^th January the father of a primary 4 kid came to my house on the introduction of someone who has heard of my tuition.

I spoke with the father for about 15 minutes and then spoke with his son who spoke good English. Then I asked him to recite the alphabets from the letter A to Z which he did easily.

I then asked him for the sounds of the alphabets b, c, f, m, n, and l. All in, I spoke with the kid for no more than 3 minutes.
