TLE, Singapore

“I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.”
- Former US President Woodrow Wilson

Our Methodology
Using a Socratic teaching method, TLE encourages creativity through questions and problem solving scenarios. To further foster the learning process, games and activities that require group interaction is used so that students can learn to use each others strengths.

Real world experience is then brought in for students who show interest and potential, whether it is through setting up their own companies for a period of time or going on work attachments. Most importantly, promising projects are incubated and funded by TLE. Some examples can be seen in the “Outstanding Projects” section.

Here are some of our offerings:
Primary School

****************
The Idea Box
Kids are already surrounded by the business world but have not been introduced to it formally. In this module, they will not only learn about business but about their own ideas which they can introduce to the world.

Hello World
Understanding the world around us gives us the ability to respond in kind. “Hello World!” shows kids that the best information can be found in the unlikeliest of places. They will also come to appreciate why Knowledge is Power and learn not only to find information but also to convey their own message to others.

Me, Myself & Other People’s Money
Many people are intimidated by financials because of lack of knowledge or exposure. This module will introduce different financial institutions, their functions and how to use them not only to equip kids with knowledge but also with confidence in their ability to manage money.

Grrr’s, Whzzz’s & Bangs
Many of the world’s greatest discoveries and inventions came not from the complex but the simple. Kids will learn how to better observe the world to discover their own talents, experiment with creative ideas and put them into production.

Teachers
For teachers who want to understand more about entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education, The Little Entrepreneur (TLE) conducts seminars and workshops tailored to meet the differing needs of individual institutions.

While economic values of entrepreneurship and associated skills are touched upon, TLE’s focus is on inspiring and cultivating entrepreneurial behavioural traits. For above all, an entrepreneur is not someone with a set of skills but is someone who is a lifelong achiever, always learning, always challenging the norm and always believing that things can be better.
