Sec 3 2023 WA3 Grades: A Math A1
Hock Yew’s Success Motto: “Never back down, never give up!”
My grades were back and forth between C5 and B4 in the WA1 and WA2. I was concerned about my shaky results.
I dedicated more time at home to cover more questions from the past year school exam papers. I was able to attempt and complete more questions in my revision for this WA3 as compared to last time because I mastered the effective methods in tuition, therefore it significantly cut down my time needed to recall the methods to solve the questions. At the same time, this increased my exposure to questions and provided me with more opportunities to clarify the challenging questions with my teachers before the WA3. In the previous WAs, I was not familiar with how to begin the questions during my revision. I took too much time to solve them, hence limited questions were attempted. I tried to refer to the school notes and textbook but I would still have difficulties applying the methods onto the questions.
I used to take considerable amount of time to think of the methods when I was doing the questions. After attending the tuition class, I realise that the methods taught to me are useful. I am consistently drilled in both the understanding and the clarity of the worked solutions. The tutor will also share effective tips in learning A Math which benefit me. What I master in tuition has improved my processing skills and answering techniques especially in pin-pointing the correct methods to solve the various types of questions during the A Math test.
My target for A Math is A1 in the EOY exam.
I plan to do a mock test once a week to identify the topics to be targeted in the topical revision. During the topical revision, I will work on my accuracy and speed so that it can raise my competency in managing different types of questions during the EOY exam without having to rush through and lose unnecessary marks. Instead of just doing questions from the school textbook for revision, I will accomplish more questions from the ten-year series and other school exam papers. This adds on to the library of questions and solutions in my mind which will in turn help me both to analyse the questions deeper and apply the correct methods during the EOY exam.
A turbo-charged performance that we fully recognize and appreciate, well done Hock Yew!! Bring it on, bring out your best in the EOY exam! Hardwork and determination will lead you to SUCCESS!!
Einstein Elite: Sin Yi
Sec 2 2023 WA3 Grades: Math A1
Sin Yi’s Success Motto: “Never give up!!”
I did not perform up to satisfaction in the WA1 and WA2. I only got C5 in both tests.
For this WA3, I set my sight on getting a grade much higher than my WA1 and WA2. I started preparing 2 months in advance for the WA3. During the June holidays, I read up the new topics in advance that would be taught in term 3 to have a better understanding of them. Furthermore, I did questions on a daily basis from the school textbook and the Math materials handed out by my school to build up my problem-solving skills and consistency. This was more effective than all my previous preparations. Last time, I started my revision for the WA only 1 month in advance and 3 times per week which was probably not enough for me to do well in the WA.
In the Math Achievers’ class, the tutor will explain the entire topic very clearly, with detailed emphasis on the proper methods used to solve the various types of questions in a step-by-step approach. If I am having trouble understanding, the tutor will not hesitate to reexplain the question and concept in a simplified manner which makes it easier to understand. Every now and then, the tutor will also test me on the core concepts and the problem-solving methods from the previous topics to ensure that my understanding and problem-solving skills of the previous topics are not diluted over time.
In the Math Focus class, the tutor reinforces to a great extent on the previous major topics especially algebra. As I tend to forget the important details needed to be shown in the steps, the tutor consistently sets relevant questions on the spot and keeps testing me on the critical details to help me remember concretely especially for the questions that I have difficulties doing. From there, I can fully grasp the major concepts and apply them readily when I come across similar questions including my schoolwork as well. What also helps me is that the tutor will do a thorough revision with me on all the topics to be tested in the WA, hence I can feel that I am more prepared for it.
My goal for Math in the end-of-year (EOY) exam is A1. Besides continuing my current efforts, I will step up by doing more questions from past year exam papers. I will also start to bring questions to clarify with the tutors which I have not done so in the past.
A marvelous achievement, Sin Yi!! We are absolutely impressed by your elegant display of success. Keep up the excellent form and superb effort, our team of tutors will continue to give you the fullest support to bring out the best in you for the Math EOY exam this year!!
Einstein Elite: Ray
P5 2023 WA2 Grade: Science 84% (AL3), English 90% (AL1)
Ray’s Success Motto: “Just do your BEST!”
He attended more lessons at the tuition centre. More importantly, he allocated more time on revision by going through the learning materials thoroughly from school and tuition. I also gave him more past year papers to attempt before he sat for the WA2. Previously, he did not spend as much time on revision as compared to this WA2.
I encouraged him to work harder and do better. To spur him on, I promised to bring him on a holiday to ski if he does well in the EOY (End-of-Year) exams.
Basically, in the English regular lesson, he is able to get more opportunities to practice, reinforce his understanding and improve his answering techniques. The English focus lesson helps him to craft his compo with more ideas and better time management. Previously, he used to get stuck on how to start the compo.
In the Science regular lesson, he is able to understand the theoretical concepts better with emphasis on the usage of important keywords in the written answers.
My target is to score AL1 for English in the EOY exam. To achieve it, I will complete more past year exam papers in both Paper 1 and 2 to raise my competency in English.
For Science, my target is also AL1 in the EOY exam. I will continue to spend time and effort to do the assessment books on a consistent basis and clarify questions that I am unsure of with the tutor. I feel that I learn a lot as the tutor can explain the answers very well.
Congratulations to Ray on his fantastic results in the WA2! We are delighted with his outstanding performance!! Since the start of P5, Ray has become more serious and focused on his work. Being an attentive student who takes the initiative to participate in class, Ray puts great effort into his work consistently. He does not shy away but more willing to clarify any doubts he has with the tutors. This excellent study attitude bodes well for Ray – to go far and achieve greater heights in his end-of-year examinations! Well done!!
Einstein Elite: Giselle
P5 Eng 2023 WA1 Grade AL3 (80%)
P5 Math 2023 WA1 Grade AL3 (83%)
Giselle’s Success Motto: “Strive to achieve greater heights!”
She did more revision from the assessment books as she was aware of the topics that would appear in the WA1. In the past, she did the revision books as well but did not have a full understanding of what she did. The tuition lessons helped to reinforce her knowledge and helped her to absorb and understand the content better.
She did the revision work mainly on her own. If she had any problem, I would give her some guidance and remind her to bring the questions to the tuition centre to clarify with the tutors so as to get a clearer explanation of the questions as well as the solutions.
The regular English and Math tuition lessons help to keep her on her toes as she is aware that she will be tested by the tutor every lesson, so she is more consistent in her revision. Furthermore, the Math focus lesson helps her to better manage the problem sums. She is taught the proper methods and structures whereby she can follow and use them to solve the questions more confidently.
My target is to achieve 80+ marks for both English and Math in the end-of-year examinations. I will recap more thoroughly the learning materials which my school teachers and tutors have given me. I will put in more effort and time on my revision by doing both the assessment books and the past year school exam papers. This will increase my exposure to the different types of questions so that I know how to solve them in the exam.
Giselle is a highly motivated student. She puts in extensive efforts and strives to achieve good results in her studies. With continued guidance and consistency in her academic performance, she will definitely excel in her studies. “Continue to work hard, Giselle! The rainbow of success will glow in U!!”
Einstein Elite: Kate
J2 H2 Math 2023 WA1 Grade A
Kate’s Success Motto: “Don’t drop the ball”
A: Previously, I only managed to score an E for my H2 Math for my Promos in J1. I had difficulty understanding the questions that were posed during the examinations. I did find myself being able to start some of the questions with the appropriate methods but I was unable to complete the rest of the question. Also, the recorded school lectures were confusing as there were several instances where the lecturer glossed over the concepts which I did not understand.
A: In order to prepare for my Math WA1 in J2, I started by redoing the old questions which I had either previously attempted or was given in my school tutorials and tuition notes. This exercise is important to me as it allows me to verify that I am able to recall all the important methods, concepts and presentation that is required for each type of question. I was delighted that, not only was I able to get more questions right this time, but I could complete them faster, which was a great boost to my confidence. I also attempted the new questions from the examination package issued by the school, of which I am elated that I was able to achieve a higher rate of correct answers as compared to J1.
A: The tutor for my Math class made sure that each question was explained step-by-step without glossing over any of the concepts required to answer the question. Her explanations were also a lot easier to understand as compared to my aforementioned school lectures. She also made sure that I understand every facet of the concept and is willing to clarify all my doubts before moving on.
I feel that doing well for this test has increased my confidence by an appreciable amount, but I too am mindful that past performance does not guarantee future results so I must continue to work hard and not rest on my laurels.
I will make sure that, unlike during J1, I will watch all the school lecture recordings on time so that I can catch all the parts I do not understand early and get them clarified in a timely manner. Also, I will diligently complete all of my school assignments instead of simply referencing the work of my peers.
I will continue the good aforementioned revision practices that I had used for this test and I would also begin on doing timed practices to make sure that I am able to complete the questions under exam stress conditions.
I will not drop the ball again.
Kate is an attentive and enthusiastic student who has shown improvements in Math through her hard work and bright mind. “Well done, Kate! You have proved what you can achieve through great effort. Keep up the consistency all the way to your A level! Together, we will not drop the ball!”
Einstein Elite: Alisha
O Level E Math Grade 2022 A2
Alisha’s Success Motto: “It is never too late to be what you might have been!”
A: My 1st WA was a mediocre E8 followed by an improved grade C6 in the WA2. I pressed on but my prelim was still hovering at C6. I gave my all in the O level and my effort was duly rewarded with a distinction A2!
A: I surrendered my gadgets and laptop, firmly resolved to focus completely on my revision in E Math without the usual distractions. Next, I redid both the topical and yearly TYS. The topical TYS enabled me to pin-point my strengths and correct my weaknesses. It also widened the spectrum of questions that I would be expecting in the O level, keeping myself better prepared in terms of the respective problem-solving methods that I could effectively apply to solve the questions. As for the yearly TYS, it enhanced my time management and mathematical reasoning skill. I was able to utilise my time wisely, streamline my thinking process to solve the questions from all the topics in a steady and clear manner.
A: The learning materials from Einstein are very detailed. The E Math tutor in the Achievers’ class is very helpful in reinforcing our understanding on the topic and how to solve the various types of questions within the topic. The tutor will explain the content in depth, go through every question before letting us try on our own using the same method. I feel that this approach is very effective, a contrast from what my school teacher is doing which is to skim through the E Math lesson.
A: In the Focus lessons, the E Math tutor is very approachable and I can always bring questions to ask to clarify my doubts. For the major misconceptions, the tutor will not hesitate to set additional questions on the spot for me to practise. The tutor will assess thoroughly if my habitual error and misconception are completely rectified before moving on.
A: Personally, I am very happy with Einstein Education. I wished I had joined earlier.
The tutors here make sure that we completely understand the lessons before moving on which is very different from the previous centres I joined where they mostly left us on our own to do the questions.
.
We are extremely pleased with Alisha’s well-deserved distinction in the O level E Math exam! We could see the huge transformation in her learning attitude towards the subject since she attended the tuition classes. Her desire to excel and confidence grow over time with our lessons and she takes ownership and pride in her E Math learning journey. “We are SUPER PROUD of U, ALISHA!! Keep up the superb form and achieve more in poly or JC! Bravo!!”
Einstein Elite: Janelle Liau
Sec 2 EX Math 2022 EOY Exam Grade A1
Janelle’s Success Motto: “Live life to the fullest!!”
A: As I was slow in learning and understanding, I could not understand what my Math teacher was teaching in school. To aggravate the problem, I did not have the chance to ask questions since the class was very big. Furthermore, there was no extra help provided to me because the teacher was busy all the time.
A: Last time, I did not prepare for my exam at all. I only revised the day before the exam. However, for my Math EOY exam this time round, I actually started studying for it a few months in advance. I went through the tuition notes in full details, redid both the school questions and tuition questions that I had problems with previously. I spent time memorizing the formulas from all the topics, making sure that I could remember them well and know how to apply them correctly onto the questions. I would also focus more in my school Math lessons and tuition lessons as well as my personal revision at home. Whenever in doubt, I would muster up the courage to ask teacher questions in both school and tuition.
A: I become more attentive during the tuition lessons. I also learn to be more responsible in both my school HW and tuition HW. As the tutors are able to explain thoroughly with the relevant examples, I can understand the new topics better and faster. Furthermore, I am able to do more mental calculations and work out the steps systematically to derive the correct answers. As a result, I have more time to do checking during the school tests and exam. This is a stark contrast from last time whereby I took a long time to do the questions and ended up not finishing the exam.
Yes. I can do more questions correctly as I can understand the topics much better. I am also braver to present my answers instead of wasting time hesitating whether my answers are correct especially during the school tests and exam.
My mom’s friend recommended her. My elder brother also attended the tuition at this centre before me.
Janelle has been in amazing form since the start of the year with significant progress in her Math. We have witnessed at first-hand how Janelle displays a high level of consistency in her understanding and quality of work. “A brilliant performance, Janelle! Continue to forge ahead and scale greater heights in Math!!”

Promoted from Sec 1 NA 2022 to Sec 2 EX 2023
Celyn’s Success Motto: “Believe in yourself! Don’t give up!!”
A: For my PSLE, I received a score of AL23. However, for the WAs in Sec 1, I had been scoring more As and Bs. To top it off, I achieved straight distinctions A1 in English, Math and Science in the EOY exams. My school recognised my outstanding performance and promoted me from the normal academic stream to the express stream in Sec 2.
A: After my PSLE, I decided to practise more using the assessment books. I realised that some questions were similar to the ones in the tests and exams, so I had an easier time understanding and answering them. In addition, I read more English novels to gain more exposure to English as well as acquire many new vocabulary words and descriptive phrases that helped me in my writing.
A: The English tutor goes through in details the vocabulary words that I do not know. The guidance rendered to me by the tutor during the essay writing lessons helps me to brain-storm quality ideas for my compositions.
The Math tutor consistently tests me on the formulas and concepts so that I can remember them at my finger tips and apply them correctly onto the questions. With the encouragement from the tutor and being approachable, I can always clarify my questions freely without having second thought.
The Science tutor explains in depth the scientific concepts and teaches me the answering techniques especially for the structured questions. Thus, I am more conscious of the nitty-gritty of my answers during the tests and exams.
A: Increase my frequency of revision via assessment books, tuition learning materials and school worksheets. I will not hesitate to ask more questions during the lessons in both school and tuition so that I will be able to understand the topics thoroughly.
Celyn is a modest student who has shown huge improvement through her willingness to work hard for her goals. We are extremely pleased and proud of her achievements!! “Well done, Celyn! Keep up the excellent performance and strive for more in Sec 2!!!”
Einstein Elite: Bryan
JC1 H2 Physics 2022 School Promo Grade A
Bryan’s Success Motto: “There’s no such thing as too late!”
A: For the Term 1 and Term 3 common test, I got grade E. For the mid-year, I received a U grade but for my promo, I was laser focused and went on to achieve a distinction A.
A: After receiving a U grade, I realised that I was in big trouble. I was determined to carry out an in-depth revision on all the topics and pushed myself to complete many topical tests to make sure that I grasped the concept of each topic thoroughly. Furthermore, I attempted the past year promo papers which allowed me to gauge my application skills and pin point the topics and areas of weakness that I needed to strengthen before my actual promo exam.
A: The tutor in the Achievers’ class helps me understand better the current topics that my school is teaching. Not only does the tutor clarifies all my doubts or queries on the topics, he is also very helpful and always stays back with me to go through my personal questions..
The Focus class really helps me deepen my knowledge of the previous topics and gives me more confidence in managing a wider range of questions. It helps me a lot as the tutor in the Focus class strengthens my weak foundation to understand better the previous core topics.
In J2, I will definitely keep on doing more papers and after each topic that the teacher goes through in school, make sure that I really understand it and constantly ask questions during my tuition classes as well to clear my misconceptions.
We are thrilled with Bryan’s distinction in Physics! We will like to congratulate him for his hard work and outstanding achievement, not only in the promos, but also his consistency in the revision process. It is truly a remarkable display of solid determination and consistent efforts in his success in Physics. With his good learning habits, we are confident that Bryan will continue to do well in J2 and the A level!

Sec 4 EX E Math 2022 School Prelim Grade A1
Jerrell’s Success Motto: “Achievers were not born achievers, they learned and practiced before achieving the result!”
A: My mid-year exam result for E Math was not satisfactory as I managed to get a B4 only. However, in my prelim, I worked my way up to score an A1!
A: My preparations for the mid-year exam was less than ideal since I did not practice as much as I needed. However, things changed after the mid-year exam result was released. I did more practice consistently in the form of other school’s past year prelim papers and the TYS. Furthermore, I would take initiatives to clarify questions with my school teachers and tutors.
A: The tutor covered extensive revision on a wide range of topics including the ones that I learnt in school. This helped to clarify the doubts that I still had from school. Moreover, the tutor could explain the concepts and the methods in a clear fashion that I could understand easily. Most important of all, I was able to apply the same methods when solving the questions in my school work as well as the prelim exam.
A: My goals in this O level are to attain a distinction A1 in E Math as well as pursue my favourite diploma course in culinary and catering management successfully in a local polytechnic of my choice.
I will be more determined and focused in my revision with no place for complacency. More practices have to be done to deepen my familiarity with a wide range of questions and sharpen my problem solving skills. I believe that I will be more prepared and confident to give my best in the O level.
Jerrell has been exceptionally outstanding in E Math propelled by his drive for success. We are pleased with his remarkable performance but not forgetting to continue our preparations with him in greater depth. Beyond his prelim, we are rooting for him in the O level to hit all his targets!
Einstein Elite: Kian Ting

Kian Ting Success Motto: “To be the 1%, you must do what the 99% won’t!”
A: I failed my mid-year exam with a F9 grade but clinched a distinction A1 in my prelim for Combined Chemistry.
A: I did more consistent practice. Before the mid-year exam, my revision was only once in two weeks by reading up the Chemistry notes. However, after my mid-year exam results was out, I did an overhaul to my revision regime. I was determined to put in daily revision on the subject and I pushed myself to doing that without slipping back to my old and ineffective study habit. Since then, my new revision regime is more inclusive in a way that I get to do a lot of practice papers which improves my answering techniques and accuracy of answers.
A: The tutors in both the Achievers’ class and the Focus class ask very relevant questions to ensure that I understand what is taught during the lessons. When I have questions, they are able to explain in details and clarify my doubts. The tutors will not hesitate to give me very useful tips so that I know how to manage the similar questions in the exams. They are very concerned of the quality of my classwork and homework, making sure that the relevant concepts are applied correctly with the important keywords written down. To raise my learning efficiency, the tutors give good advice on creating a timetable for my revision.
A: I have 2 goals:
1. Score an A1 for Combined Science in the O level
2. Achieve a respectable O level aggregate score in order to secure my EAE (Early Admission Exercise) placing in poly to pursue my desired course in cybersecurity.
I will continue with what I am doing so far. I will allocate more time in my revision and step up my preparations for the O level to achieve my goals.
Kian Ting’s Chemistry has improved tremendously for the past few months, owing to the fact that he has been revising his work regularly with consistent practice on the exam-based questions from the TYS, school worksheets and tuition materials. We are delighted with his outstanding performance and we will continue to work very closely with Kian Ting to achieve his goals in the O level!
Einstein Elite: Elisabeth Lee
J2H2 Math 2022 CA2 Exam Grade A
Elisabeth’s Success Motto: “Don’t give up!”
A: I didn’t understand the concept, never clarify with anyone. I also made a lot of careless mistakes.
A: During the lectures in school, the lecturers provide an overview of the topics including the methods to solve the questions but I have difficulties applying them. During tuition, the tutor will ask me questions consistently to ensure that I understand the concepts thoroughly. Even if I answer wrongly, the tutor after correcting me, will solidify the knowledge and emphasize the error such that I remember and not repeat it.
A: Yes. During tuition, the examples are taught in a comprehensive way such that I can master a variety of problem-solving skills well and apply them usefully on the questions.
A: Yes. I can understand the topics much better and answer the questions more accurately.
A: I went through the past year papers. It was not about just getting correct answers, but more on understanding what is needed in the question to derive the solution.
A: I did the questions for the sake of practice. When I got stuck, I did not bother to find out the techniques needed to solve the question. I merely copied the answers over without thinking through the skills needed.
A: In the Achievers’ tuition class, the tutor is covering the current topics and clearing my doubts while in the Focus class, the tutor goes through the older topics extensively. It helps me to reinforce the topics that I may have forgotten previously, keeping me prepared for the exams as overall revision is being done consistently in the Focus class.
A: My friend’s parents recommended me.
Elisabeth’s rise in her mastery of H2 Math is well displayed in her quality work during the lessons. Constant hard work and consistent guidance are the keys to her success. “Elisabeth, keep up the exemplary performance and remain focused all the way to your A level! Many thumbs up!!”

A: I realised that the formulas were not difficult to remember and apply. With the tutor’s help, I was able to manage questions on my own easily.
A: Yes it does. When my school teacher teaches a topic that the tuition centre has gone through before, I find that I can understand what my school teacher is saying better. I don’t get lost so easily and am able to follow the lesson.
A: I am a bit more confident now. The questions done at the centre are similar to the ones from my school and I can do them easier now.
A: I revised the test topics, memorising the formulas properly. I also did the revision materials my school gave me as well as the previous questions gone through in the tuition centre.
A: Last time, I did not memorise the formulas properly, I also had more difficulties previously doing practise questions.
A: My parents looked around when my grades were dropping in P4.
Cyrus is a responsible student who gives his all every lesson. Initially a quiet boy, he has grown in confidence and has shown marked improvement in his Math. With sustained effort, Cyrus definitely has the capability to excel in his studies.

A: For composition, my vocabulary was not strong. Tended to use filler words in my speech. For comprehension, I would overthink and complicate the inferential questions.
A: I think it helped that there were a lot of practice papers that were similar to my school’s papers. The tutor went through the vocabulary words from the comprehension passage which helped me to understand it better.
A: Yes. Before attending, my English grades fluctuated and before the tests, I would feel anxious about how I would perform. I am now more confident as I feel like I have done more practices to help me better manage the tests and exams.
A: I did assessment books on my weaker components like visual text. Memorise the structure of the model answers. Look through the practice papers on my weaker components.
A: A friend attended and recommended to me.
Einstein Elite: Tin Full
Sec1 Normal Technical Math 2021 School WA2 Grade A1
Tin Full’s Success Motto: “Don’t give up because you won’t know what you will become and who you will inspire!”
A: I could not focus on my Math because I was distracted by my phone. I used my phone a lot and had no time to do revision. When I received my P6 prelim Math results last year, I was very disappointed but I realized that I could not catch up with my basics.
A: In the NT Math tuition lesson, the tutors will teach the basics in details. I can catch up in my Math as the concepts and topics taught are more manageable. Besides that, the Math tuition is ahead of my school lessons which helps me to understand better my school lesson. More importantly, the methods taught in the tuition lesson are easier to understand than the school methods.
A: Yes. Last time, I failed my Math very badly and my confidence was low. However, I am more confident now. I am not shy to share my grades now. I have got the basics right, not stressed up, pushed myself more and applied the methods learnt from tuition in my school tests.
A: I took out all the Math notes from school and tuition and redid all the questions. I also did online questions and used the same methods learnt in tuition to do the question because it is simpler to understand, easier to remember and apply to the question.
A: The focus class focuses on my weakness within the topic, clarify my doubts and redrill me with similar questions to get rid of my mistakes. Therefore, I can remember the methods better and apply them correctly during the tests in my school.
A: My Mom’s friend.

A: Firstly, my lecturers in school went through the content too quickly. I could not catch up and understand what was covered. Next, I was not consistent in doing my tutorials, homework and revision for Math. Therefore, I did quite badly for my tests and exams.
A: My Math tutor teaches very in-depth and at a more comfortable pace according to my learning needs. He makes sure that I understand before moving on. In the lecture hall, we are not able to ask questions directly and we might have forgotten the questions after the lectures. During the tutorials, it can be difficult as everyone is also waiting to ask questions. However, with a smaller tuition class size, it is easier to ask questions and I can understand the content much better.
A: Yes, definitely. The tuition centre constantly covers topics that are being tested and taught in school, so what I learn here can help me understand what’s going on back in school. Whether it is a topic that is not covered in school yet or a topic that is currently taught in school but I could not understand it well, tuition has helped me to clarify my doubts and confusion. When I go back to school, I know what the teacher is teaching and I can follow the lessons well.
A: Yes, I do feel more confident in my Math. At first, I was struggling quite badly in Math. Although my school teacher was nice, he only had so much time for me. After coming for tuition, I find that I can understand what is going on in school. I feel better about my ability in Math both in terms of understanding and performance during the exams.
A: Other than doing the usual homework, there was a revision package that was given by the school and I tried to complete as many questions as possible. I also practised the topical worksheets given in school. If I have any questions, I will either ask my school teacher or the tutor when I come for the Math tuition.
A: Last time, I did not do much revision or study for my Math.
A: My father’s friend recommended this tuition centre as he said it’s very good.

Lucas’s Success Motto: “Chill Now. Work Hard Tomorrow.”
A: Before coming for tuition classes, I did not understand what was taught in school. I didn’t feel that my school teacher explain the concepts well. Hence, I was unable to follow the lessons. I tried to do the homework questions given but I was not able to do so. There were too many things I did not understand, hence I give up after trying to do the questions.
A: The concepts were taught clearly during the lessons. As the topics taught here are ahead of my school, it allows me to understand the lessons in school better. When my teacher is teaching in school, I was able to multi-task and do more practice questions too. With tuition classes, I am more aware of the different types of questions that are tested in exam.
A: I am now able to do most of the questions independently which then motivates me to do more practices. I feel more confident that I am able to do the questions with proper steps.
A: For my SA1, before attending tuition classes, I gave up easily as there were too many questions I was unable to do. I flipped through the textbook without knowing what to focus on. For my SA2, I was motivated to prepare well for my exams. I did the practice papers that was given by the school and I bought additional practice papers to practise as advised by my tutors. I was able to do the questions with more confidence than before and I did a majority of it. I felt that I was not scared to sit for the paper and I was more confident about it. I also came for intensive classes which allow me to clarify the doubts that I had especially on the topics that was covered before SA1. It helped me to understand those topics better and I am aware of different types of questions that may be tested.

A: In school, I have difficulty understanding what was taught. I could not understand my teachers’ explanation as I find it hard to concentrate in school. My class is very noisy.
A: During tuition classes, I am pushed to remember and memorise important formula and concepts. I am regularly tested to ensure I can recall the concepts better. This helps me to understand and remember the concepts better. This also helps me to answer the more common questions in my exams. I was also taught the proper answering techniques, hence I am able to complete my homework and answer exam questions more easily with more details.
A: I understand the school lesson better. Sometimes my school teacher explained certain concepts briefly but I was able to understand it as I was taught in tuition while my friends do not. I was able to help them to clear their doubts.
A: Yes, I felt more confident as I was able to recall the concepts better and applied the relevant concepts to the questions.
A: I wrote my own notes on the important concepts. I referred to both my school and tuition notes to have a comprehensive revision. I re-do the questions from the exercises given by the centre to ensure I do not repeat my mistakes. My school also give out practice papers which I attempted to prepare myself better.
A: I feel more well-prepared for the exam as I was able to remember the concepts better and able to do the practice paper questions more confidently.
A: My aunt’s friend recommended the tuition centre.

Rui Hao’s Success Motto: “Work Hard. Play Hard.”
A: I previously didn’t understand what was taught in school. I felt that the pace of the lesson was too fast for me to catch up. As there were too many things I was unsure of, I had no time to clarify my doubts with my school teacher. I felt that the questions and practices that was given in school was insufficient for me to be able to do exam questions. I needed more exposure.
A: After coming for tuition classes. I am now able to understand everything that was taught in class. I no longer feel lost. I am also able to do the homework given by my school teacher independently. I am even confident enough to teach my friends when they are unsure or have doubts.
A: Definitely. Previously, before coming for tuition classes, when I sat for the exam paper, I felt clueless and the questions did not seem to be familiar to me. Hence, I do not know how to start the questions and do it anyhow. Now I am more confident to do the questions. The questions look similar to what was taught in tuition classes and I am able to attempt all the questions with confidence.
A: Focus class helps me on my revision on the topics that were previously taught from S1 to S3. Hence, if there is no focus class, I won’t remember how to do these questions. It also pushes me to recall and apply formula better by exposing me to common exam questions. There are also tests conducted regularly which trains my time management and the tutor will give me feedback and go through my mistakes on the spot so I am more aware of my mistakes and do not repeat it in exams. I feel more prepared for the exams as focus class pushes me to do consistent revision on everything that will be tested.
A: Revise formula. Main preparations come from the focus class which boost my confidence.
A: Father’s friend’s recommendation.

A: In Physics, the concepts can be very difficult to be understood. Hence, I am struggling to fully understand what was taught in school. My understanding of the concepts is superficial and not deep enough for me to do pure questions which require a much deeper understanding of the concepts and analysis of questions.
A: I am able to understand the topics better. I am also given a lot of tips on how to deal with application questions. My answering techniques also improved with more exposure to different types of questions given in the notes and exercises.
A: Yes. On my own, I am unsure on how to do my revision as I am unsure what to focus on and what type of questions I should be practising on. With the tutor’s guidance, I was made known on what are my mistakes and which areas I can improve further.
A: To prepare for exam, on top of revising the notes, I looked through again the mistakes that I did for both school work and tuition work. I re-did those questions to test my understanding.
A: I take my work more seriously due to the constant encouragement given by the tutors and I am more clear on what I need to revise on. During the exam, I am able to link the exam questions to the questions that were done in Physics classes. Hence, I am able to apply the techniques that was taught to the questions.
A: My elder brother came here for tuition first.
