“I dream of an educational realm where we’re both wealthy and dignified experts.” So began Henry Lim, founder of GLEXiS Tuition Centre. Since the implementation of VIMIGO transparent performance rewards system, Class A teachers aren’t just well-paid, but also operations are streamlined and management is simplified.

Henry has been in the education industry for 10 years. Known as a troublemaker kid – from school brawls to failing grades, it was all par for the course. But one teacher, in his fourth grade, changed his destiny. This teacher took him under his wing, taught him not only to be well mannered but also improve his grades. He transformed, later diving headfirst into the world of education, hoping to inspire others as he was once.

Henry muses, “Education is people oriented. You need genuine passion to thrive.” But let’s face it. Teachers are often underpaid, and teachers emphasizing monetary return is considered unacceptable. Sadly, the common perception in our society is – Shouldn’t teachers pour their soul and heart into educating our children rather than being concerned about money?”

He contrasts salaries of teachers with professions like doctors and lawyers, which led him to ponder: if our teachers couldn’t maintain the standard of living they desire, who would willingly shape our next generations?

As Henry states, drawing upon Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we first fulfill our physiological needs prior to psychological needs. Monetary compensation is just one of the ways to meet basic needs so that teachers can commit to work without worrying about bread and butter issues.
