Hi,
Previously known as Knowledge Tree Academy, we have rebranded as Sense & Savvy Academy. The name Sense & Savvy comes from our goal of providing an exceptional learning experience (Sense), and the practical skills for educational and professional growth (Savvy).
Founded by Lucia Sukmakhristi & Ghassani Swaryandini, they came together with the same purpose - to improve the learning culture of today. The learning culture has been rapidly changing due to the vast development of technology. People do not learn the way they used to, and misinformation has become easier to access more than ever. Therefore, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has identified that the most critical skills for the 21st century are good decision-making, critical and creative thinking, adaptability, collaboration, and information literacy.
Thus, we use an up-to-date, scientific-based approach to encourage individuals to explore their passions and interests, and develop their competencies using effective methods. We offer home tutors for students, training for your organisation, and customised modules for specific needs.
