Real Learning. Real Thinking. Real Time Management.

Hi! I’m Ms Lim — experienced tutor, time coach, and yes, the proud owner of a noisy little kitchen timer shaped like a chicken. 🐓

I started ChickenTimer to help students not just survive school… but to learn smarter, think deeper, and manage their time like pros.

Because let’s be honest — what good is getting an A if you panic in the exam, blank out halfway, or can’t explain what you just memorised?

⏲️ Why “ChickenTimer”?

It all began with a chicken-shaped kitchen timer I used to help my students focus with the Pomodoro technique (study in short, focused sprints). But I didn’t stop there.

Over the years, I’ve used that chicken timer to teach exam pacing, planning techniques, and real-life time management skills — especially to students who:

  • Can’t finish their papers on time

  • Struggle to focus for long periods

  • Freeze up during tests or revision

  • Feel overwhelmed by packed study schedules

The timer became a symbol of something bigger:
Working smart, staying calm, and using your time with purpose.

💡 What ChickenTimer Is Really About

  • Learn Science and Math clearly, not robotically

  • Manage their time like a boss (not a crammer)

  • Think critically, not just memorise blindly
