REVIEWS
What to Expect
I specialise in simplifying content-heavy subjects and imparting efficient exam strategies. I create a customised lesson plan for each student, with topics and materials adapted to the school's teaching style and student's abilities. Regardless of background, my primary objective for each student is to equip them with the necessary techniques and content at a suitable pace.
I pay close attention to each student's progress. Extra lessons and consultations are available on request. I limit my number of students and reserve several time-slots each week for this purpose. Prospective clients should therefore secure their slots early as I tend to restrict enrolment in Term 3/4 to focus more on my current students' exam preparations.
I am responsive outside lessons as well - students can text me with any subject-related questions and I will respond within 24 hours (or sooner for urgent matters). While I cannot guarantee distinctions, students who are consistent and cooperative have always seen steady improvement.
Notes and practice papers are provided as reference material (please refer to the respective subject pages for more details) - these materials are sourced from various schools and centres. I provide my own notes that have been extensively proofread by others in the industry. I have also been compiling an extensive library of resources since my JC days in 2014, and everything is updated regularly to ensure relevance with current trends and syllabus changes.
