—Sylvia Tan criticising her children, "14 Types of Students After School" | ||
Sylvia Tan is the mother of JianHao, Nicole and Zhi Kai and has a close friendship with Madam Soot Beng. Her family is very rich, as she (and possibly her husband) own a family business.
Appearance
She has half reddish-pink and half blue dyed hair often tied into a loose bun. Most of the time, she wears expensive clothes and uses items such as LV and Gucci bags but occasionally can have a more casual appearance.
Personality
While she is a loving mother, Sylvia also has quite a fiery temper and can be very emotional. She’s quick to get angry at JianHao and Nicole for very little things but she can also cry easily due to simple reasons like JianHao not greeting her. She also gets angry at Zhi Kai for bullying his siblings.
She’s very brutally honest and strict with her children, getting angry if they fail and questioning how they’ll handle the family business if they are like that. She also shows them tough love by telling them to take the bus and even walk.

Trivia
- Although she is shown to be very rich and dresses in what seems to be very expensive clothing, she dressed more like an 'auntie' in "Back to School: Expectations vs Reality" (S2E1), "12 Types of Students During Recess" (S2E4) and "Good Teachers vs Bad Teachers" (S2E7). However, she retains the same amount of fierceness.
- Her first name is revealed to be Patricia in "13 Types of Students Doing Homework". However, it is still unknown whether her full given name is 'Sylvia Patricia', 'Patricia Sylvia', or it is just a nickname.
- She once sacrificed Louis Vuitton bags for JianHao to do better in school.
