Einstein Elite: Hock Yew
Sec 3 2023 WA3 Grades: A Math A1
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: Ray
P5 2023 WA2 Grade: Science 84% (AL3), English 90% (AL1)
Ray’s Success Motto: “Just do your BEST!”

Q (Parents): What did Ray do in his preparation for the Science and English WA2 and how was it different from last time?

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.

Q (Parents): What did you do to help Ray in his revision? What encouragement did u give him?

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.

Q (Parents): How do the tuition lessons @Einstein help Ray in both Science and English?

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.

Q (Ray): What is your target for this year? What will you do to achieve it?

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.

What Team Einstein says:

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!”

Q (Parents): What did Giselle do in her preparation for the English and Math WA1 and how was it different from last time?

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.

Q (Parents): What did you do to help Giselle in her revision? What encouragement did u give her?

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.

Q (Parents): How do the tuition lessons @Einstein help Giselle in both English and Math?

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.

Q (Giselle): What is your target for this year? What will you do to achieve it?

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.

What Team Einstein says:

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”
 

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:

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!”
 

Q: What results did you receive in your O level, prelim and the last few WAs?

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!   

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?

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.

A: I only did assessment books.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: My older brother attended tuition lessons here previously.

Q: What difficulties you had in Math previously? 

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.

Q: What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending Einstein Achievers’ Tuition Classes?

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.

Q: Do you feel that tuition helps you to understand better your school lesson?

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.

Q: Do you feel more confident now and believe that you have the ability to achieve more in Math as compared to last time?

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.

Q: What did you do in your preparation for the Math exam?

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.

Q: How was your preparation different from last time?

A: Last time, I did not do much revision or study for my Math.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: My father’s friend recommended this tuition centre as he said it’s very good.

Q: What difficulties you had in A Math previously?

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.

Q: What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending Einstein Acheivers’ Tuition Classes? Do you feel that it helps you to understand better your school lesson?

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.

Q: Do you feel more confident now and believe that you have the ability to achieve more in A Math as compared to last time?

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.

Q: What did you do in your preparation for the A Math exam?

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.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: From my mum.

Q: What difficulties you had in Chemistry previously?

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: 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.

Q: How was your preparation different from last time?

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.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: My aunt’s friend recommended the tuition centre.

Q: What difficulties you had in E Math previously?

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.

Q: What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending Einstein Acheivers’ Tuition Classes? Do you feel that it helps you to understand better your school lesson?

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.

Q: Do you feel more confident now and believe that you have the ability to achieve more in E Math as compared to last time?

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.

Q: What is the difference between the Einstein Focus Class and the Einstein Achiever’s Tuition Class?  How does it help you?  Do you feel that you are more prepared for the exams with the focus class?

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.

Q: What did you do in your preparation for the E Math exam?

A: Revise formula.  Main preparations come from the focus class which boost my confidence.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: Father’s friend’s recommendation.

Q: What difficulties you had in Physics previously?

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.

Q: What is the biggest difference that you realise after attending Einstein Acheivers’ Tuition Classes?

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.

Q: Do you feel more confident now and believe that you have the ability to achieve more in Physics as compared to last time?

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.

Q: What did you do in your preparation for the Physics exam?

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.

Q: How was your preparation different from last time?

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.

Q: How do you know about Einstein Education Hub?

A: My elder brother came here for tuition first.
