Testimonial by Toni Cuhadi

"I started to have my tuition at Wayne 2.5 months before the actual O lvl . The mid-year examination held on the August was a wake up call for me when I earned a F9 for amath . I still remember clearly that during my interview , Wayne's face went terribly shocked when i told him that i couldn't do a simple inverse matrix and yet i was already that close to O lvl . Yes , it was indeed a last minute decision but I never regretted it . Throughout my tuition , i sometimes asked basic questions that could trigger laughter in the class , but Wayne is a calm and patient teacher who wouldn't ignore my questions . Furthermore , he recognize each of my improvement . Like how i improved from F9(mid year) to D7(2nd prelim) and 1/25 to 10/25 for his ''killer'' test . '' It was 1000% improvement'' , i still remember what he told me (: . Wayne to me is beyond a teacher, like a friend. i felt very comfortable learning from him and voice out my opinion. In the very end , I am very happy that I cleared the O's with a A2 for my A math . Truly , without Wayne's consistent help , i wouldn't able to gain such wonderful results."


What I remembered of Toni:
Toni could be an inspiring student to many people who gave up on Amaths long ago, and also to people who would not believe they could actually do Amaths. During the first meet-up, Toni did gave me a shock when he said he has problem with Inverse Matrix (which is one of the easiest topics in Amaths!) However, i told him all i need is 15 minutes to make him understand it. It was like after he found that topic so easy, it kind of unlocked the deadlock of Amaths in him. And adding to the fact that Toni has a strong foundation in Mathematics, his pace of learning Amaths was phenomenal. I had only about 10 weeks to work with him before his O levels. That was indeed a challenging task. Toni has an acumen for details, perhaps of the love of Photography, every week when tricks and techniques on solving certain questions were imparted, he would learn them well. We are talking about a student who once never knew he has the great potential for Amaths and was waiting for that one chance to unleash it, which he made it in the end with distinctions for both Mathematics.
