Testimonial
Q: What results did you get for A Math and Combined Physics in the Sec 3 EOY exam last year and the WA1 this year?
I scored B3 for A Math and A2 for Combined Physics in my EOY exam last year. Knowing that I can achieve more, I worked hard for the WA1 this year and my efforts paid off with double distinctions A1 for both A Math and Combined Physics.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA1 this time round and how was it different from last time?
For the A Math WA1 preparations, I would go through the tuition notes and the school textbook thoroughly and redo some questions from the tuition materials to be sure that I could understand and recall how to apply the methods accurately when solving the questions. Next, I would select some random questions from the ten-year series (TYS) to practice on and test myself in analyzing the questions as well as broaden my knowledge on the proper methods used to solve the exam-based questions.
For the Physics WA1 preparations, I would collate the notes from tuition and school. I also created mind map for each topic to have a stronger understanding of the topics to be tested. I would also redo the questions that I did wrongly last time to ensure that I was on the right track in terms of understanding and application of core concepts.
As compared to my previous preparations, I feel that now I have additional notes thanks to the tuition centre which I can use them to verify my other notes. More helpful is that I can approach the tutors for more clarification which enables me to be more prepared and confident for the upcoming O level exam.
Q: What did the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The Physics tutor gave a lot of real-life examples and simulations which made the lesson interesting, thus it helped me to gain a better understanding of the concepts. He would always prompt the class with quality hints and tips that would set me thinking on how to answer the tough questions using the relevant concepts and keypoints.
The A Math tutor would constantly remind the class of the proper revision techniques and is also very approachable, welcoming questions before or after tuition. He is very detailed in his explanation of the effective methods, always advocates clarity in our work through systematic and step-by-step approach every time we do the questions.
Q: What is your target for the O level exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
Definitely double distinctions A1 for both A Math and Combined Physics in the O level exam.
I will clarify more questions regularly with the tutors and not hide any doubts. I will do more questions from the past year prelim papers and the TYS to gain more exposure and experience to a larger pool of questions that may be similarly tested in the O level exam.
What Team Einstein says:
Spectacular result, Jun Hao! Your performance is highly impressive yet outstanding, continue your excellent form all the way to the O level. We will work closely with you to bring out your best to achieve what you set out for in the O level, double A1 for A Math and Combined Physics!
Einstein Smartie: Natalie
2025 WA1: Sec 3 EX E Math Grade A1
Natalie’s Success Motto: “It’s POSSIBLE!”
Q: What results did you get for Math in the Sec 2 EOY exam last year and the WA1 this year?
I didn’t make it for the EOY exam last year with F9. I was determined to do much better this year and I shone through my WA1 with the best grade A1!
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA1 this time round and how was it different from last time?
Previously, I was unable to recall the formulas and the concepts despite my revision. For the WA1 this time round, I did a thorough revision by studying the tuition notes in depth especially on the methods and the steps. As the tuition notes were comprehensive, I could remember much better the effective methods including the proper steps. Thus, I was more confident when I did the questions from the assessment books before the WA1, knowing well what methods to use and what steps to show in the answer.
Q: What did the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
In the Achievers’ class, the E Math tutor taught the current topics in line with what I was learning in school. He explained the methods clearly in a step-by-step manner. The tutor also made extra efforts to reinforce the methods and the steps by testing me consistently every lesson. This helped me to remember them more effectively. Along the way, he would identify the errors that I made and drilled me with similar questions until I could apply the correct steps without repeating the errors. That was how the tutor cleared my doubts and grew my confidence in E Math.
Q : What did the tutor in the Focus class do to help you in this subject?
With the smaller class size, I feel that the Focus class was able to target my weaknesses better. The misconceptions that I had from the previous topics were identified and rectified by the tutor through intensive drillings and testings. I finally made sense of the previous topics after learning the proper methods with the correct steps. More importantly, my confusions were thoroughly ironed out and it helped me to understand much better the current topics since they were built up from the previous ones. The Focus class also addressed my critical errors as well as the habitual errors, thus improving the accuracy and confidence in my work. It also increased my exposure to other school exam papers which pushed me to analyse the questions deeper and think more thoroughly from a wider range of topics instead of throwing in the white flag.
Q: What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target is to maintain my current grade A1 all the way to the EOY exam this year.
I will continue to study the tuition notes in greater detail and practice the ten-year series and other school exam papers consistently. I will continue to clarify my doubts with the tutors by taking more initiatives to bring questions to ask the tutors whenever I am not sure.
What Team Einstein says:
Natalie, what an INSPIRING performance, U have defied the odds to achieve the BEST result! Our team of tutors @Einstein are ABSOLUTELY PROUD of U. Keep your drive for excellence going strong, we have your back and will chart the path to success together!!
Einstein Smartie: Kaleb
2025 WA1: Sec 2 EX Math Grade A1
Kaleb’s Success Motto: “Do the BEST you can. Whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave your all!”
Q: What results did you get for Math in the Sec 1 EOY exam last year and the WA1 this year?
I only managed to score C5 in the EOY exam last year which was unsatisfactory. I turned the tide in WA1 this year and was duly rewarded with a top grade A1 and a perfect score 20/20.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA1 this time round and how was it different from last time?
I underestimated the EOY exam last year and did not prepare thoroughly for it. For the WA1 this time round, I kickstarted my revision early. I made serious efforts to revise the notes inside out with specific focus on the methods and the steps used to solve the important types of questions within the topics. My next phase of revision was to apply these methods to solve similar questions on the assessment books and the past year exam papers, making sure that the steps were proper and my habitual errors were reduced to 0. This really helped to sharpen my skills, I could also familiarise myself with a wider range of questions that could be tested in the WA1.
Q: What did the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The tutor explained the methods and the steps in details during the tuition lessons, highlighting the importance of showing all the steps clearly for the questions that I did both in class and homework. As a result, I developed the good habits of solving the questions in a step-by-step fashion as well as checking my work thoroughly for errors. From time to time, the tutor would not hesitate to clarify my doubts which helped me to understand better the topics. More importantly, he would consistently reiterate the need to be meticulous when I was doing my work so as to build my consistency and competency in Math.
Q : What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target is A1.
I will take the EOY exam this year more seriously because it will affect my subject combinations for Sec 3 next year. I will prepare well for it by doing my revision regularly. I will also take more initiatives to bring questions to clarify my doubts with the tutor every time I am unsure.
What Team Einstein says:
5-star performance, Kaleb! We are absolutely impressed by your perfect result and super proud of U! We will bring out the best in you, keep up your excellent work and continue to ace your way through this year!!

Imtiaz’s Success Motto: “RISE after you fall!”
Q: What results did you get for E Math in the Sec 3 EOY exam last year and the WA1 this year?
I underperformed in my E Math EOY exam with grade U. I did not give up but worked very hard this year to outperform in the WA1 with an outstanding grade 1.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA1 this time round and how was it different from last time?
Last time, I rarely studied for my WAs and exam because I could not understand my school notes. For the WA1 this time round, I made efforts to study the tuition notes and understand well the methods needed to use to solve the questions. I also paid attention to the extra details in the tuition notes on the common errors that I should avoid from making when doing the questions. I would study consistently 3 times a week to fully understand the methods and the steps before I went on to do the questions from the ten-year series.
Q: What did the tutors in both the Achievers’ and the Focus class do to help you in this subject?
The E Math tutors in both the Achievers’ class and the Focus class taught me the effective methods to solve the questions within the topics. They explained very clearly how the methods worked and how to use them in a step-by-step manner which I could understand very well. If I was unable to understand, the tutors would reteach and reexplain in a more simplified manner and give more relevant examples until I was able to string everything together. The tutors would also ensure that I stayed focus in all the lessons by giving me frequent reminders on what I need to do and show them during the lessons and not be distracted by other stuff. To help me improve my Math, the tutors would identify the problems that I have and consistently set questions both in the class and homework to strengthen my capabilities to solve the questions which used to give me problems.
Q : What is your target for the N level this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target for the N level this year is grade 2.
I will come up with a new study schedule to better manage my time especially for revision. I will do my homework consistently and revise more on my own. I will also bring questions to ask the tutors to clear all my doubts.
What Team Einstein says:
A superb breakthrough, Imtiaz! We are thrilled to see the amazing transformation in the way you study E Math now with more confidence and accuracy. Full credits for your resilience and the drive to achieve success! We are very, very proud of your achievement! Well done and continue to strive for excellence in the N level this year!!
Einstein Elite: Wen Ze
PSLE Science Grade AL1
Wen Ze’s Success Motto: “Never give up!”
Q: What results did you receive in your PSLE and the prelim?
My Science prelim did not go well, I only scored AL5. That was my turning point, I strived my best in the PSLE and achieved AL1!
Q: What did you do after the prelim to improve your results on Science?
I drew lessons from my prelims to increase the frequency and duration of my Science revision for the PSLE. I increased my revision routine to every 1 or 2 days with longer duration of 2 to 3 hours. I focused on all the P5 and P6 core topics, studied the tuition notes in depth of these topics and paid close attention to the highlighted key words. I went on to redo the wrong questions to learn from my mistakes and improve my answering techniques. I allocated more time to attempt the P3 to P6 Science assessment books as well as the past year school prelim papers to gain maximum exposure to different types of questions. If the questions that I attempted were wrong, I would redo them. If I still got it wrong after I redid the question, I would study thoroughly on that topic again. Through this, I was able to identify which topics I needed to further reinforce. Eventually, my understanding and answering skills of all the Science topics were well strengthened before the PSLE.
Q: What did the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The tutor would explain in detail on both the current topics and the previous topics. Along the way, he would check with me which topic I needed help in and revise it with me. From time to time, the tutor would set additional questions in class to test my understanding of the concepts and application of the keywords. At the end of every lesson, he would explain the important keywords of the topics and incorporate them as spelling for me to learn.
Q: What do you think of Einstein Education Hub? How is it different from other tuition experiences that you had previously?
For the other tuition centre that I attended previously, the topics that were taught were slower than what I was learning in school. There was no hardcopy learning materials, nothing to revise at home because no homework was given. At Einstein, the tutor would teach the topic ahead of the school, so I could understand the topic better in school. There were hardcopy comprehensive notes which I could revise at home while doing the tuition homework.
What Team Einstein says:
Wen Ze, your sterling performance have gone through the roof! Perfect score, we are exceptionally proud of U! Continue your excellent performance in your choice secondary school! U are a sparkling role model to others how efforts can produce success!! HIGH FIVES!!

Shao Liang’s Success Motto: “I didn’t get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it!”
Q: What results did you get for Combined Science, E Math and English in the Sec 4 prelim exam and the N level exam?
In the prelim, I did well in E Math and Combined Science with Grade 1. However, I struggled in English with Grade 6. Knowing that I could do better, I stepped up on my revision. In the N level exam, I aced E Math and Combined Science with Grade 1 and outperformed in English with Grade 4.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the N level exam? What did you do after the prelim to improve your result on English?
After the prelim, I increased my revision intensity by extending the duration of my revision. I went on to do more practice papers (both school prelim papers and N level yearly papers) to increase my exposure to different exam-based questions. As for English, I made extra efforts to analyse more model essays to pick up more ideas that could be used in my N level Paper 1 exam.
Q: What did the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?
The English tutor assigned me tasks to brush up my vocabulary knowledge which helped me to understand better of what I was reading. The tutor was also patient in training me up on the answering techniques as well as explaining the questions that I was not sure of.
The E Math tutor was approachable, so I always felt that I could ask for guidance when I was unsure. There was comprehensive revision with emphasis on step-by-step approach that enhanced clarity of my work and accuracy of my solutions.
The Combined Science tutors would always welcome my questions which really helped to clear my doubts. They would consistently test me on the core concepts from all the topics and teach me how to apply the relevant concepts onto the questions.
Q: What does the tutor in the Focus class do to help you in English?
The English tutor in the Focus class zoomed in to my Paper 1, requesting me to bring a model essay every lesson. He would analyse the good points with me in the model essay and I would be tested on these good points on a weekly basis. Over time, I was able to recall the important ideas across various writing topics which I could use them confidently in my own essays.
Q : What do you think of Einstein Education Hub? How is it different from other tuition centres?
The tutors at Einstein are very helpful and approachable. They always encourage the students to ask questions. They will not hesitate to go the extra mile to explain the concepts, questions and answers in greater details until the students can understand well.
I did not attend other tuition centres before, but I had a private English tutor whom I did not really enjoy the teaching style.
What Team Einstein says:
Definitely the BEST result and effort, Shao Liang! Our team of Einstein tutors is truly proud of U! We see so much drive in you willing to learn and achieve more, we are confident that it will lead you to greater success in life!! A standing ovation to your excellent achievement, WELL DONE!!
Einstein Elite: Jun Wei
Sec 4 2024 Prelim Grade: EX Pure Chemistry A1 and EX Pure Physics A1
Jun Wei’s Success Motto: “Your dreams are the blueprint while your determination is the architect of your success!”
Q: What results did you get for Pure Chemistry and Pure Physics in the WA2 and the prelim this year?
For my WA2, I achieved A1 in Pure Physics but only scored B3 in Pure Chemistry. I went full steam ahead for my prelim and emerged with double distinctions A1 in Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the prelim this time round and how was it different from last time?
For the WA2 preparation, my revision was less frequent. I did not go through any notes for the topics to be tested and only attempted a few papers.
After the WA2, I stepped up on my revision. During the June holidays, I dived into the Sec 3 and Sec 4 topics again by going through all the school notes in greater details, understanding and remembering all the core concepts from the different topics. I tested myself these concepts by applying them onto the questions in the topical TYS. After the June holidays, I worked on the prelim papers from other schools to raise my competencies on the more difficult questions as well as to increase my exposure to a larger variation of questions.
Q: What do the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?
The tutors in both the Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry Achievers’ class do not hesitate to explain clearly the learning content. They also provide interesting information from time to time on the core concepts which pique my curiosity and strengthen my understanding. The tutors know exactly when to set additional questions during the lessons to reinforce the major concepts to ensure that every student in the class can follow well before they move on.
Q : What is your target for the O level this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target for the O level this year is A1 for both Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry.
I will press on with my revision, do prelim papers on a daily basis by alternating between Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry. For the questions that I am unable to do or I am still not clear of even after looking through the model solutions, I will seek help from Chat GPT. I will key in my own answers and Chat GPT will tell me if I am correct. If I do not get the correct answer, I will improvise my answer and try again and again until Chat GPT verifies that my answer is correct.
What Team Einstein says:
Awesome performance, Jun Wei! We are extremely proud of you and 100% confident in your capability. Keep up the fantastic drive for excellence, do your best in the O level to pull off the double distinctions in the double Pure Science! We believe in U!!

Ryan’s Success Motto: “1% luck, 99% HARD WORK!”
Q: What results did you get for A Math in the WA1, WA2 and WA3 this year?
I started on the wrong footing with a F9 in the WA1 but I fought my way back to A2 in the WA2. I doubled down my efforts and was rewarded with A1 in the WA3.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA3 this time round and how was it different from last time?
As compared to last time, I attempted more past year exam papers to increase my exposure of the different types of exam-based questions and reinforce my knowledge of the various problem-solving methods. Every time before I did the past year exam papers, I would spend time to review both the school notes and the tuition notes thoroughly to ensure that I knew what the effective methods and the relevant steps were and how they were being used to solve the different types of exam-based questions. For that, some of the questions which appeared in the WA3 were similar to the ones that were gone through during the tuition lessons.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The A Math tutors do not rush through during the tuition lessons, they always explain step by step. They make the effort to double check that I can understand and apply the methods and concepts proficiently. They never fail to clarify my doubts and misconceptions no matter how big or small the problems are. Moreover, I find that the tuition notes are much more comprehensive than my school notes because it include relevant examples which clearly show how the methods and formulas are being applied.
Q : What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
I aim to score A1 for A Math in my EOY exam.
I will continue my revision routine which includes doing past year exam papers and reviewing the notes on a consistent basis. I will analyse all my previous tests to learn what my weaknesses are and readily seek help from the tutors to address them.
What Team Einstein says:
Ryan, you are on fire with this brilliant result! Your A Math have grown from strength to strength, keep up the impressive form and strive for excellence in the EOY exam! Superb effort, WELL DONE!!
Einstein Elite: Rachel
2024 WA3 Grade: Sec 2 EX Science A1
Rachel’s Success Motto: “Just study and memorise the keywords!”
Q: What results did you get for Science in the WA2 and WA3 this year?
My Science faltered in the WA2, I only got B4 which was unsatisfactory. I was determined to make things right in the WA3, studied hard and scored A1 out of it.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA3 this time round and how was it different from last time?
For the WA3, I increased the frequency of practices on my assessment books. I stepped up my efforts in revision by studying on a daily basis. When I was going through the important concepts within the topics, I made sure to test myself repeatedly so that I could remember them at my fingertips. Previously, I used to spend lesser time doing the assessment books for revision which was not enough to help me in the WA2.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The Science tutor will test me consistently during the lessons to ensure that I can recall the core concepts and more importantly, understand what they mean and how to apply them onto the structured questions. The tutor will set questions during the lessons or ask me verbal questions to train me up on both the application skills and the answering techniques. The tutor also gives me good advice on how and what to revise for my school WAs as well as how to improve the quality of my answers in the structured questions.
Q : What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My goal is to score A1 for Science in the EOY exam this year.
I will cover more in-depth revision on all the topics that are tested in the EOY exam. I will start doing past year school exam papers in addition to my assessment books, increase my exposure to the exam-based questions and raise my competencies in answering the standard questions commonly tested in the exams.
What Team Einstein says:
A top performance, Rachel! Excellent result! We are immensely proud of your achievement. Keep up the consistency and superb effort, our team is committed to bring out your best in this EOY exam!!
Einstein Elite: Ian
2024 WA3 Grade: Sec 3 EX E Math A1, Combined Chemistry A2
Ian’s Success Motto: “SUCCESS isn’t achieved overnight but by consistent efforts!”
Q: What results did you get for E Math and Combined Chemistry in the WA2 and WA3 this year?
I did not perform well, I only scored B4 in both E Math and Combined Chemistry in the WA2. I was not satisfied at all with this result, I geared up and pushed myself in the WA3 to produce a glittering distinction A2 in Combined Chemistry and A1 in E Math.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA3 this time round and how was it different from last time?
Previously, I only spent 1 hour on my revision daily which was insufficient. For E Math, I only read the textbook and did not do many practice questions. For Combined Chemistry, I just read the notes. All these revisions were ineffective and they did not work out in the WA2.
For the WA3, I extended the revision time to at least 2 hours daily. This gave me more time to revise more content and better grasp the topics.
For E Math, I would study the tuition and school notes in-depth on the topics tested and allocated more time to do a lot of ten-year series (TYS) questions.
For Combined Chemistry, I made my own notes on the important concepts to help me understand and remember them much better. I was able to apply these concepts more precisely when I was doing more questions from the TYS.
Q: What do the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in both subjects?
Both the E Math and the Chemistry tutors explain the concepts and questions in an effective way that I can understand easily. The questions from the tuition worksheets are more challenging which I feel that it helps to push me to analyse more and think harder. The tutors will not hesitate to provide guidance and hints to lead me to think in the right direction so that I can derive the solution eventually. Since I can do the difficult questions, I have no problem with the simpler questions in school.
The tutors will also set additional examples and questions during the lesson to test my understanding and answering techniques. This helps me a lot to the extent that one of the examples actually came out in the WA3 and I scored full marks in it.
Q : What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target for both E Math and Combined Chemistry are A1.
I will spend even more time on my revision as more topics will be tested. I will pay closer attention during my lessons both in school and tuition. I will not snowball my doubts by taking active actions to ask more questions to my school teachers and the tutors to clarify with them.
What Team Einstein says:
Ian, an OUTSTANDING performance with STRONG results! We are extremely proud of you and are equally determined to be your strongest ally in your quest to excellence in this EOY exam!!

Jason’s Success Motto: “You cannot spell IMPOSSIBLE without I–M(am)–POSSIBLE!”
Q: What results did you get for Combined Physics and Combined Chemistry in the WA1 and the WA2 this year?
In the WA1, I excelled in my Combined Chemistry with a distinction A1 but took a tumble in my Combined Physics with E8. I was not done with this result, I put up a strong performance in the WA2 with straight distinctions A1 in both Combined Chemistry and Physics. I came in 1st for Combined Physics in my class with the highest score of 89% in the WA2!
Q: What did you do in your preparation specifically for the WA2 this time round?
I made sure that I prepared thoroughly by reviewing all the relevant notes and exercises in advance before sitting for my WA2. I would make special emphasis to remind and test myself the important concepts and the effective methods to answer the standard questions plus providing the proper explanations to the typical structured questions in the exam.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?
Both the Physics and Chemistry tutors place great emphasis on what is important in each and every topic. Not only that, the tutors also bring up several common misconceptions that most students tend to make, that really helps to clarify my doubts to a big extent. During the lessons, the tutors will go through each and every question in details so that if a certain concept is to be expanded on, I will not be confused or caught unaware.
Q : What is your target for the O level exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
I am looking forward to score A1 in my Combined Science (Physics and Chemistry) in the O level exam.
I will continue to review my notes diligently with consistent practices on the TYS and other school prelim papers so as to check if I can apply my knowledge effectively.

Caz’s Success Motto: “Work hard now, play hard later!”
Q: What results did you get for English and Math in the PSLE last year, the WA1 and the WA2 this year?
Last year, my PSLE performance in both English and Math was sub-par with AL7. Starting this year, I promised myself to shake it off, channel all my efforts into studies and worked my way up to a distinction A in Math and B in English in the WA1. I continued to focus and my efforts were paid off with full distinctions in both English and Math in the WA2. To reward and recognise my achievements, my school promoted me from NT Math to NA Math starting from term 3.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA2 this time round and how was it different from last time?
Last time, I was distracted during the lessons in school and I did not practise much for the PSLE. For the WA1 and WA2 this year, I paid more attention and was more focused during the lessons both in school and tuition. I would make sure that I did not miss out on the important concepts that were covered during the lessons. My mom had also bought assessment books and past year exam papers for me to practise regularly before I sat for the WA2.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?
The English tutor provides clear and in-depth coverage of the grammar, vocabulary as well as the answering techniques for the comprehension. The tutor will explain the meanings of the words that I am unsure of and gives me additional spelling of the words with the meanings to increase my vocabulary knowledge.
The Math tutor also explains clearly the methods. As a result, I can understand much better how the methods and the formulas work. Therefore, I can apply them properly when I am doing the questions. Every now and then, the Math tutor will test me and reinforce what I learn in school to ensure that I fully understand and know how to solve the questions from the topics taught in school.
Q : What is your target for the EOY exam this year? What will you do to achieve it?
My target for both English and Math will be A in the EOY exam this year.
I will step up on my revision by doing both the assessment books and past year exam papers as well as review my textbook more often. I will continue to stay focused during the lessons in both school and tuition to absorb the most knowledge from the teachers and the tutors. I will also bring questions to clear my doubts with the tutors.
What Team Einstein says:
A very strong and impressive result, Caz! We are exceptionally proud of your achievements. Keep up your good study attitude, continue to work hard and shine in your quest to success in the EOY exam this year! You are an inspiration to others!!

Yi Bai’s Success Motto: “Failure before SUCCESS!”
Q: What results did you get for Combined Chemistry in the Sec 3 EOY exam last year and the WA1 this year?
I struggled a lot in Combined Chemistry last year and did badly in my EOY exam with the grade F9. I was determined to prove to myself that I deserved better grades. I prepared thoroughly for the WA1 and emerged victorious with the grade A1.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA1 this time round and how was it different from last time?
I joined Einstein 3 months ago and took a thorough change in the way I studied. After my Chemistry tuition, I would revise the tuition notes in depth and make the extra effort to copy down the key concepts onto a separate notebook to help me remember them better. For the calculation questions, I would study and understand the methods taught by the tutor, apply them onto the questions, showing and simplifying all the steps clearly.
In the past, I did not really understand the Chemistry topics. I could only understand the superficial stuffs within the topics, so even though I did revision, I did not have a deep understanding and I would still run into many problems during the exam.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
The Chemistry tutor narrowed down the relevant and important keywords which really helped me to memorise the concepts much better. The tutor could skilfully simplify the concepts in a way that I could understand them more clearly.

This is done so by doing a wide range of questions in the TYS on a consistent basis for E Math, Combined Chemistry and Physics.
I would like to give a big shout-out to the Combined Chemistry and Physics tutor. Coming for the Physics and Chemistry tuition classes really made a significant difference to my preparation for the WAs and prelims. It helped me to better understand the topics since every lesson was laser focused on a specific topic with similar questions whereas for my school, the teacher did different topic questions in the same lesson which could get confusing for me.
Q: What do the tutors in both the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?
The tutors will explain thoroughly on the topics and not rush through, so it is very clear and easy for me to understand. They will give hints which help me to figure out the solution when I am stuck with a question instead of spoon-feeding me the answers. My Science tutors will impart the effective problem solving methods to me. At the same time, they will share with me my problem areas and point out where I can improve on. My Math tutor will not hesitate to provide additional guidance to me to ensure that I show all the steps clearly and ask questions to prompt me to think more and answer during the lesson.
Q : What is/are your goal(s) for the N level? What will you do to achieve it?
I am gunning for distinctions in E Math, Physics and Chemistry in the N level. My ultimate goal is to achieve a respectable aggregate in the N level so that I can be granted a placing in the polytechnic foundation program for the diploma course in Culinary.
I am more determined to make my efforts count to achieve my goals. I will continue to work hard to gain more exposure to exam-based questions and not hesitate to clarify my doubts with the tutors during my revision process.
What Team Einstein says:

Hock Yew’s Success Motto: “Never back down, never give up!”
Q: What results did you get for A Math in the Sec 3 WA1 and WA2 this year?
My grades were back and forth between C5 and B4 in the WA1 and WA2. I was concerned about my shaky results.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA3 this time round and how was it different from last time?
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.
Q: What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending Einstein Achievers’ Tuition Classes?
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.
Q : What is your target for this year? What will you do to achieve it?
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.
What Team Einstein says:
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!!”
Q: What results did you get for Math in the Sec 2 WA1 and WA2 this year?
I did not perform up to satisfaction in the WA1 and WA2. I only got C5 in both tests.
Q: What did you do in your preparation for the WA3 this time round and how was it different from last time?
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.
Q: What do the tutors in both the Achievers’ class and the Focus class do to help you in this subject?
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.
Q : What is your target for this year? What will you do to achieve 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.
What Team Einstein says:
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: Kate
J2 H2 Math 2023 WA1 Grade A
Kate’s Success Motto: “Don’t drop the ball”
Q: What difficulties you had in Math previously?
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.
What did you do in your preparation for the Math WA1 exam and how was it different from last time?
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.
What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending the Einstein Achievers’ Tuition Classes?
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.
Q: Do you feel more confident now and believe that you have the ability to achieve more in Math as compared to last time?
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.
What will you do in J2 to keep up your consistency and performance?
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.
What Team Einstein says:

Q: What did you do after the prelim to improve your results on E Math?
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.
Q: What does the tutor in the Achievers’ class do to help you in this subject?
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.
Q: What does the tutor in the Focus class do to help you in this subject?
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.
Q: What do you think of Einstein Education Hub? How is it different from other tuition centre?
