Adrienne de Souza is a General Paper teacher in Singapore who is passionate about education.
She discovered a growing interest in this field while applying for a scholarship under the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Clearly, it was a timely discovery, as she was subsequently blessed with an Education scholarship which has since fueled this passion. In particular, it is critical and creative thinking, assessment and alternative forms of assessment that can keep her mind engaged for hours.
Aside from education, her other passion is debating – a sport which she cannot seem to stay away from for long, as evident from her continued involvement in the Singapore debating circuit.
Over the years, she has developed a bit of a Singlish-phobia and, at times, is a bit of a Science geek.

Hi. I find your website really helpful for GP students in Singapore.
I was just wondering whether you would be interested in adding my class’ GP blog as part of your links. I think it will be helpful including another source of GP help for the students.
The blog is http://09s06g-gp.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Hi Bryan – thanks for the link, just added it!
Hi Adrienne ..
I stumbled across your site while doing some research work..
I’m writing an article on how image is important in today’s society for my school blog.
I found an essay which can help me but it needs a password..
Why is there a password and how do I get it?
Hi Adrienne, I’m taking my ‘A’ Levels this year and your site has been a great help so far. Thank you!
Hi, I am a Singaporean A level maths tutor who stumbled upon your site while googling-really loved your offerings. Was wondering if you would be keen to network ( either via link exchange or perhaps guest posting) for the benefit of JC students in general? Do drop me a line if you are interested-I would subsequently send you the URL of my site for reference. Thanks and god bless.
Hi Adrienne,
I am currently a Year 5 student in an IP school in Singapore and stumbled onto your blog recently. I am astonished by the amount of effort you are placing into this blog despite the fact that you can gain little recognition out of it. The passion you have for teaching is one that is really lacking in my school whereby most of the GP tutors,strangely, seem to be reluctant to give their notes. On the other hand, we students are sweating over how to tackle the GO subject.
I cannot express how much gratitude I have towards you for making this blog an enriching source of information on everything a student needs to know about General Paper.
Thanks for the blog, much appreciated.
Hi ms de souza! You probably won’t remember me but you taught me biology in CJ briefly for a couple of months together with Mr Goh! Pleased to chance upon this blog! I wished I had read it previously whilst in school! Anyway glad to have teachers like you who have so much passion and dedication in teaching GP!
Cheers,
Fiona Fong
Hi Fiona! Thanks, and I actually do remember you
Good to hear from you, and I hope all’s well in whatever you’re pursuing at the moment!
Hello Ms De Souza,
i was an A level student last year and chanced upon your blog when i was researching online for GP materials, and i must say that your materials have helped me a lot!
Thank you for your selfless sharing of your knowledge
You’re most welcome – I’m glad you found them helpful
I’m so thankful to have chanced upon this treasure trove! Thank you for taking the time and effort to painstakingly gather all the materials and for giving such valuable advice! Keep up the good work!
Hi Adrienne
How do I get myself a password? Thanks
I’m afraid many of the password-protected posts must be read in context – they’re effectively incomplete posts, so I worry that the learning points in them will be misunderstood without clarifications and explanations that I gave during my classroom lessons. As for some of the other password-protected posts (student sample essays), those are password-protected under the request of the students who wrote the essays.
