Testimonial by SiJia Tiang

"Before I discovered WJE, I was always getting a F9 for my Elementary Mathematics.
For my C. Science, I was always a borderline pass, nothing above a C.
Just 3 months before my GCE ‘O’ Level, I decided to join WJE.

I thought that Wayne wouldn’t be able to help pull my grades up, but he sure proved me wrong.
I managed to jump 6 grades up for my E.Math and scored a B3!!!
As for my C.Science, I managed to score a B3 as well!

What is so great about WJE is that Wayne is not just an ordinary tutor; he puts in the extra effort to make sure all his students are able to cope well by printing Edubites, and setting test papers for us every alternate week.
Just weeks before our GCE ‘O’ Level, he even planned a Mock ‘O’ Level Examination for us to know our own standard & to set the studying mood in place.

Wayne is more than a tutor to all of us; he is like our role model, an inspiration to all.
All in all, I am extremely grateful to have chosen Wayne Jones Eduhouse!" ~ SiJia

What i remembered of Sijia:
Sijia was in my E.Maths class. She was extremely weak in Mathematics, probably one of the extreme cases i have encountered in my teaching career. Her foundation in Maths was terribly shaky. During the first lesson, I knew why she was desperate to seek help in Mathematics. At her standard, she couldn't possibly even get an E8, not to mention getting a pass. She couldn't manipulate the equations around to solve for X. She confessed she hasn't been passing her Mathematics her whole secondary school major exams. She came in July and i was only given 3 months to work with her. As Sijia was weak in her algebras, i put her in my secondary two Maths Class, it was complimentary for her. She swallowed her pride that she has to be in the same class as some of her juniors from her school. She put in her effort to attend every lesson and did the work given to her. Besides this, she is one of the few students who took the initiative to complete the mock exams prepared for them without any reminders from me. By prelims in September, she was already getting a C6 in school. Slowly, she built up confidence in Maths.
On the day of release of O level results, i paid a surprise visit to her school to visit her and other students from the same school. When she received her result, she came up to me with 2 parallel lines of tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. She was in a disbelief that she has gotten a B3 for Mathematics! I was extremely happy for her.
Maybe B3 may not be a huge achievement to many people, but i felt her B3 was as good as an A1 to her. Her Maths results was a juxtapose to the flashbacks of the first lesson with her in my mind. This was a student who once didn't believe she has the capability to pass Mathematics. I was touched by her positive attitude to learn and to excel.
