EMMA BECKFORD
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Emma established Boutique Education in 2010 along with Adam, inspired to bring high quality education to families in Singapore. Having been a student of Bancroft's School in England, she genuinely loved school and realised very early on the importance of education. Later, having worked as a language teacher, she noticed a growing demand for professional and tailored education that saw students truly succeed. Boutique Education has since evolved to provide a wide range of services over the years but one thing remains the same – Emma’s vision to instil a love of learning while achieving educational goals. Of the many things that Emma loves about working in Boutique Education, the one she cherishes most is the relationship built with students, being able to see them flourish, love learning and become more confident, not only academically but in life.

ADAM CROOK
DIRECTOR
Adam co-founded Boutique Education with Emma in 2010. His passion for education started early as a student of Chigwell School in England. He has a unique combination of experience in financial services, having worked for asset managers in various countries, and extensive teaching experience as a UK TEFL qualified teacher. Adam oversees the operations of Boutique Education and is well versed in the industry as well. He has seen many families come through Singapore since the start of Boutique Education, and loves seeing the transformation in a child that initially struggles to deal with the natural challenges of being in a new country, and then arrives at a place where they begin to thrive in their new school, their educational journey and life as a whole.
