Testimonials

Thank you Dr. Han. Appreciate the effort from you guys. The boys had a great time and they have been sharing with us what they had learnt at the workshop. Thanks so much.

Attended the “Animal and Us” workshop and my boy absolutely love it! Dr. Han was patient and taught the children on how to interpret animal’s emotion and the responsibility involved in having a pet. It was an awesome experience as the boy had fun listening to the animal jokes that Dr. Han shared and at the same time gain a lot of knowledge about animals!

My girl attended the “ Animal and Us “ Workshop conducted by Dr Han during the Sept hols and has been telling us about how fun it is. She loved Dr Han's jokes and is able to share with us knowledge on how to take care of pets. Dr Han is very good with children and engages them with interesting videos and demonstrations like using the microscope to learn about fleas. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 🙂

Dr Han and his team were very welcoming and interactive towards the children. They were also very patient in answering every child’s question. The sessions were very informative and presented well. The relevance of story and the showcased animal was spot on, could tell the kids learnt a lot from that one animal. Even after the session, the children were still talking about the animal and looked forward to the next session. Dr Han and his team did a great job! 👍🏻

We would like to extend a warm thank you to Dr Han, a veterinarian, from the Animals and Us Academy for organizing an amazing zoom session for the p1s and p2s of Meridian Primary School. Not only was the session very informative but it was also very interesting. It made learning so much more fun for our young learners. The talk was very clear and concise and could hold the students' attention throughout the interactive and engaging session. It was a great job done and we are looking forward to having more of such sessions with you, Dr Han.

My kids attended the “Hamster and Rabbit” workshop and they simply loved it. They enjoyed learning about the feeding habits of rabbits and the proper way to look after small animals. Dr Han was ever so friendly and patient with their endless questions. The team from “Animal and Us” have done an awesome job. I know because my kids can’t wait to sign up for the next one!
