Western expats in Singapore do whatever they like in Singapore. Epic fail Tutoroo's Nicolas Vanhove is one example (see other posts). He thought he could conquer the world from a coffee table, by using illegal workers, without having to do some real work himself.
Now let's talk about Valerie Weston, linked to 3 companies, not all registered therefore not all legal: Didicimus Education, Minerva Tuition and Ellipsis Learning (an educational consultancy).
Valerie Weston sometimes calls herself Mrs V A Weston. She is faking her CV to look for stupid parents and students. Valerie Weston is also an illegal worker in Hong Kong.
BEWARE OF SCAM!
According to Didicimus Education's site:
"Didicimus Education was set up in Singapore in 2015 by Fiona Hodgkins (Ellipsis Learning) and Valerie Weston (Minerva Tuition)"
According to Ellipsis Learning's site:
Ellipsis is an "Educational Consultancy run by Fiona Hodgkins"
May 2017 - In Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston's new website, minervatuition.com, she claims to tutor students for top schools like Eton.
Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston thought nobody had seen or remembered what she had written about herself in a previous version just a few months ago....
A few months ago, Mrs V A Weston or Valerie Weston was presenting herself as half tutor, half education consultant. Ellipsis Learning is an educational consultancy so like all consultancies, it gets paid a commission for recommendations and an even higher commission for successful referrals.
According to herself, her students went to highly selective schools such as Downe House. Downe does not sound too smart so they thought, why not try to sell places to Asian parents who don't speak much English but can pay?
On Mrs V A Weston or Valerie Weston's old version of Minerva Tuition a few months ago, there was no mention of Eton or the other top schools that are now on her new list. What a magical creator and frequent editor of her own CV!
BEWARE OF SCAM!
The Singaporeans do not have a tradition of going to boarding schools. Where did Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston get her boarding schools experience from? And these top schools! From her imagination? From her keyboard?
BEWARE OF SCAM!
How did Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston 'improve' or 'upgrade' herself so much from an old website to a new website?
Mrs V A Weston or Valerie Weston is full of lies, at least on her site, trying to look for stupid parents in Hong Kong!
Not only Eton. Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston now claims to tutor people for Oxford and Cambridge! A huge upgrade! Did Jesus help her? Not sure if she could teach just GCSEs or A levels!
BEWARE OF SCAM!
She thinks she can reinvent herself and her CV with a webpage when in Asia, where 'nobody knows her'.....
BEWARE OF SCAM!
From her profile, she really doesn't sound like someone who has taught other people's kids, or would even want to, especially Asian kids.
If you want to see her an hour a week, she asks for a batch prepayment for 8 weeks. But it looks like on top of her 8 weeks of fee, she needs a tip every time for her to open her mouth to speak.
According to her latest version of info given by herself, she moved to Singapore in 2007 and that she'd taught for 15 years before.
But if she is able to upgrade herself by so much within 3-4 months in 2017, one wonders what Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston's profile was like a year ago, or 10 years ago, or what her job really really really was back in the UK. Was Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston a teacher as she claims?
Did Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston go to university? Does she have a degree? Many English people especially those around her age never went to university and just work around the world as English teachers.
If Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston conducts a facelift of her CV every 3-4 months or half a year, is her current site the 30th or the 60th version of herself?
BEWARE OF SCAM!
On Linkedin in August 2017, a partner of Didicimus Education is listed as an AXA fund manager, Simon Weston, previously employed by Semeru CLSA Capital Partners, Old Mutual Asset Managers and Hill Samuel Asset Management.
Simon and Valerie Weston, husband and wife tutoring team?
According to linkedin, Simon Weston has never been a tutor. What is the role of Simon Weston in Didicimus Education, Minerva Tuition and Ellipsis Learning? Why would a tutor, especially an illegal one like Valerie Weston, need a fund manager partner? Most tutors in the UK, Hong Kong or Singapore do not have such a thing.
Is Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston working for her husband, and not for your children? Is Valerie Weston or Mrs V A Weston trying to get clients, business, $$$ for Simon Weston by being close to children of the wealthy (those who are hoping to get into Eton and other top schools now on her list) through her 'private lessons'?
August 2017:
Since this illegal worker made no attempt to correct herself in the past months, her photo was posted only in August 2017, to help people identify her, to stay out of her illegal circles of scams. Stay safe!
