About the PLM Founder

Belinda is a strong advocate for lifelong learning, believing in the continuous growth and development of individuals throughout their lives. She excels in tailoring unique methods to individual learners’ needs to best promote skill development.

Words from the Founder

Belinda Wong, the visionary founder of the PLM methodology, was born in Hong Kong. Having lived, studied and worked across five different countries, she learned of the dearth in straightforward language learning methods and became committed to developing a method that not only simplifies the complexities of reading and writing, but is accessible to every child, no matter their personal abilities or learning style.

Firmly believing that learning is most effective with powerful tools, Miss Belinda created the PLM method, driven largely by her passionate commitment to language development. As such, PLM teachers are dedicated to reaching as many children as possible, embedding fun into learning and making it the cornerstone of education.

Miss Belinda has earned extensive credentials, licenses and certificates from prestigious institutions over 25 years of teaching as a result of her dedication to education; including TESOL, TBE and TEFL under Dr Kane (Harvard University). Before returning to Hong Kong, she has passed on phonics knowledge to over 6000 students worldwide.

Her commitment to education is such that she actively involves herself in nonprofit work, working closely with organizations such as the Hong Kong Christian Council, Red Cross Earthquake Prosthesis & Rehab, and the Needy Children Sponsorship Program. She also consistently donates a portion of Phonics Land’s revenue to various charitable organizations; and in 2021, Miss Belinda founded her own nonprofit organization, committed to providing free education to the impoverished and needy, further extending her impact by removing barriers to education for those who need it most.

A Message from the Principal, Belinda Wong

In the early days of our center, I didn’t rush the growth of our services or even consider training other teachers for the first five years. It was only when I saw the remarkable impact of the PLM method that I began to recruit and train educators. Phonics Land and the PLM method flourished gradually, making sure each step we took upheld our high teaching standards.

With 18 years of experience, I’ve been privileged to teach thousands of children. Every year, I learn as much from our students as they learn from us. The success of Phonics Land is a result of our outstanding team of fully committed teachers. Their passion and dedication have shaped Phonics Land into the esteemed institution it is today. We continue to anticipate our students achieving great things with our straightforward yet highly effective PLM curriculum.

Our development has been primarily through word-of-mouth, a testament to our humble yet dedicated team.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our amazing teachers, whose dedication and teamwork have allowed Phonics Land Learning Centre and the PLM methodology to thrive beyond my original vision. Our mission is to support and guide children with a superior curriculum to help them achieve academic excellence.

I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to our educational vision. We eagerly anticipate reaching many more milestones together.

Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about the PLM method and how it can benefit your children or school. My door is always open.
