Our Team
Gestalt Psychology was founded in early-20th century by three German psychologists namely Wertheimer, Kohler and Koffka. It advocated organisms perceive entire patterns instead of the assembly of individual components. It could be summarised to “the whole is more than the sum of its parts”. Inspired by Gestalt Psychology, we applied this conception to one’s learning journey: Personal development is only merely about academic training and moral values cultivation. It also covers an assortment of elements such as leadership, team spirits, self recognition, emotional control, problem-solving and social communication skills. We hold firm to our beliefs that efficacy of all-round learning exceeds that of individual learning items, which coheres the adage “the whole is more than the sum of its parts”.
Our multi-disciplinary team comprises of professionals from various sectors including scholar, teachers of secondary and primary schools, registered social workers, counsellors, entrepreneur and nurses etc. With different mindsets and backgrounds converging, we gather the necessary knowledge and skills, which enabled us to provide a multitude of training services to the community.
