Reflections of Year 2011

To be honest, Wayne was rather apprehensive how Wayne Jones Eduhouse would turn out. It has been our 3rd year running this educational services today, and 95% of the students came to us through word of mouth.
When we started back in 2008, little knew about us, not to say that many people know us now. Wayne Jones Eduhouse was not officially named then. There was no proper study facility, just a dining table.
Our students saw improvement in their results and slowly more students came trickling to us in the hope of improving their much devasted results.
So the year 2009, when Wayne Jones Eduhouse started operating officially with a proper classroom facility, was a crucial moment when we had O levels students who jumped grades from C6 to A1, eventually becoming one of the top students in their schools, PSLE students who jumped from B to A* in their Maths grade, also students who got Top in Mathematics in their schools. We knew we had a teaching Method which would work. Every lesson was designed to be as engaging and as entertaining it could be, so that students would never be bored. Materials were also painstakingly prepared for each term. We do not overpromise- we engaged students in lessons, and make them understand that they contribute the bulk of their results, in a way we are like catalyst which help them speed up the process of attaining their desired results.

Right now, 2011, as im typing, i have just gotten news from my PSLE students, and I'm pleased to announce that 100% of our Maths PSLE students obtained at least an 'A" Grade, and they improved from their previous B and C grade. I'm hopeful that our "O" level students will be able to match last year's batch of at least 60% distinctions in E.Mathematics.
At Wayne Jones Eduhouse, we strive to constantly redefine "Learning", and trust me, we are going to make it better each time. ^_^

Testimonials

"Wayne, or Uncle Wayne, as termed affectionately by his students, is not your ordinary Math tutor. Instead of spoon-feeding his students with endless amount of assignment and notes, he believes that Math lessons should be enjoyable as much as possible and emphasizes in learning more than studying. Which is why Wayne Jones Eduhouse seems more like Wayne Jones Playhouse.

Wayne compiles notes and assignment for his students, facilitating learning by organizing handouts according to chapters, known as the 'edubites'. Always pursuing innovation, he embarked on a project to revolutionize the notion of 'learning' through various ways. Staying relevant to the ever changing landscape, he inculcates videos into his lessons.

He also advocates in fostering strong relationship with his students. Apart from providing mentally stimulating lessons, he organizes parties and activities, enriching the academic lives of his students."

"Before I joined Wayne Jones, my grade for Elementary Mathematics was a borderline pass, C6 and Amaths was failing. I joined this tuition only 3-4 months before 'O' levels, just hoping that I can get a good pass for my Elementary Mathematics, but after the meticulous teaching and motivation from my teacher, Wayne, I achieved an astounding A1 for my E.M!! I also got a satisfying B3 for my A.M. What is particularly good about Wayne is that he could spot my weaknesses quickly and the questions and papers he gave me to practice allowed me to counter them easily together with his guidance. Not only that, he gives us VERY helpful bookmarks which are specially designed, where there are formulas on them to help us in memorising. No words can describe how grateful I am for his devotion in teaching and believing in me. :D "

"My Maths was failing before I joined Wayne Jones. Because of all the dedications and extra help that was given everytime even outside class time and all the extra practice was given, I managed to pull my my grades to a very decent one in the short span of two months.
The good thing about Wayne Jones is that all the practices given are help build foundations in concepts and at the same time explore all the different types of questions that can be asked in that particular subject.
Also at Wayne Jones, it is not just about cramming, derivation of formulas or concepts as a form of extra knowledge are also being introduced which are normally not taught in school. This allows better understanding of the particular concept instead of mindless cramming."

I'm from an average neighborhood school. I started attending Wayne Jones in Secondary 2. I always got an average score of 50+ for my Mathematics so i decided to go for tuition lessons at Wayne Jones so that I can improve on my Mathematics. Thanks to Wayne Jones, I got an A2 for my Mathematics and a B3 for my Additional Mathematics at "O" levels. Studying there will definitely make you feel welcomed because the environment there is warm and comfortable. Besides the environment, the studying materials are also well-organised and neat. Last but not least, I love their creative bookmarks which are a great help in my studies! Wayne Jones is also a humorous teacher which never fails to make every lesson as lively as possible. Despite being humorous, he also has a stern side which ensures that you maintain your studies and does not slacken. His effective teaching methods are one of a kind, it is not like any other ordinary teacher that only follows the syllabus. He teaches miscellaneous stuff that are essential for your future and also shortcuts that are easy to remember which are beneficial in your studies. Joining Wayne Jones is definitely a right choice!

"My maths standard like always getting a B4 before i first started attending maths tuition at Wayne Jones. And after a few lessons, I began to understand and started loving maths. That is when my math grades started to improve. I am pleased that I have got a A2 for both my Emaths and Amaths for O'levels.

Wayne Jones has a good timeline on what topics that is to be covered. The edubites/edunotes/eduexams are all specially designed to cater to all needs. Just by following thru all the examples, practices and listening to the tutor,Wayne, it will be easy to ace Maths!

I like the way the notes are prepared with every lesson being planned beforehand. There are also ample of practices/exams papers prepared for us to do. After all, Practice makes Perfect. :D Wayne Jones will also provide the students an Edupad which will allows the students to do their homework there. It will be easier to refer than having a stack of loose notes! :D"

"Before joining WJ, my Maths grade was terrible! At WJ, it's not only about studying Maths and getting good grades, but having fun with Maths! I was pleased to get a distinction at "O" Levels. The strong thing about WJ is the different learning environment which is unlike other tuition centres. WJ also provides you games and sweets :D You just have to experience it yourself! :)
