"Wayne Jones Eduhouse has always been one of the most interesting, innovative and interactive tuition place! Having first entered when I was encouraged by my friends, I felt skeptical as I doubt any tuition would be able to pull up my F9 A math grades and mediocre barely passing physics grade with just 4 months before O levels in August. Having previously attended various tuitions, I found it a drag and a waste of time, furthermore, my grades weren't improving. Wayne Jones Eduhouse changed all that. With Wayne's dedicated and passionate willingness to teach us, by teaching us to fish and not giving us fishes, I completely O levels with two A1 for my E and A math and A2 for my physics. What I felt so special with Wayne's method of teaching was how he enforced and pushed us on, encouraging us and acting as a spur and always never failing to check on out work to ensure we have no doubts! The weekly tests that we received also ensured that we knew well what he was teaching and become more exposed to questions that we have never seen before, making examinations in school seem like a breeze. Despite joining Wayne Jones Eduhouse at such a late timing, the comprehensive revisions that Wayne personally prepared for us really helped us to breeze past O levels. Furthermore, Wayne acts more like a friend to us then a teacher, causing us to open up to him and enabling him to teach and motivate us much more! He try his best to help us in whatever problems we face despite his hectic work schedule! On another plus side, his newly renovated house gives us a homely feeling which has a very conducive learning environment atmosphere. Lastly, I have to say that although Wayne helps to push us a lot, to be up for this tuition you have to be willing to put in your best efforts too, only then will your results truly improve by leaps and bounds! ~ Josiah, Presbyterian High School.

"Before I joined Wayne Jones Eduhouse, my grades for A Math was F9 and Combined Science was C6. I was just hoping for a borderline pass for all subjects but after joining WJE, I didn't expect myself to improve so drastically and even start to like A Math which i thought was tedious and also, a chore. I scored a double distinctions for both the subjects during GCE O Levels and I want to thank Wayne for guiding me through this journey. The way Wayne teaches his students is different from what an ordinary teacher would do as he puts in the extra effort in making his students really understand the topic instead of spoon-feeding them. By ensuring that his students really understand the topic fully, he sets test papers for his students to sit for after the lesson. This exposes the students to different kind of possible questions during O Levels and also allow students to gain confidence by practicing and learning. As a slow learner, he had the patience to teach me until i really understood the topic. He also allowed his students to study at his well furnished living room to revise and consult him whenever he is free and also gave complimentary lessons to students who really need help. The extra effort that Wayne puts into decorating his house, making really cool and unique attendance card, the creative and handy bookmark, and also the mini tests, exams and also "Hunger Games" are greatly appreciated by students. It was definitely a different and an extremely enjoyable tuition experience in WJE =)" ~ Yeo Yee Xuan, Orchid Park Sec Sch.

"Wayne Jones Eduhouse. In many ways, that title has become synonymous with any Mathematics work I have done in the last 5 years. I started out with Wayne back in 2009, when my Mathematics grades were in a dangerous place, especially when PSLE was mere months away. Things were different back then. His house was normal, with minimal decoration. It did not look like a learning centre then, apart from the main study room that we have grown accustomed to. But the essence of the Wayne Jones Experience was already present, despite the lack of an iMac computer, EduPads and most of the conveniences that have been introduced in the learning centre in the years to come. We were a much smaller group - There were only 3-4 of us in the class and we often had snacks and refreshments (I used to bring chips to class for everyone to share). However, it enabled me to observe something that is distinct about Wayne compared to any other learning centres I have been to. His teaching style is unique. He does not employ much "professionalism" in the class but instead opts to socialise with his students, often making jokes in class and in general, is very down-to-earth. It explains why students rarely doze off and pays close attention most of the time without derailing off the lesson completely. His method of teaching mathematics concepts is also surprisingly effective, despite its simplicity. He has the uncanny ability to drastically simplify any complex concept such as Binomial Theorem and Logarithms and explain them in such a way that it makes it very easy for students to grasp them completely within one lesson's time. It may be inappropriate to say this but I strongly believe that Wayne's ability to make his students, even the weakest ones, to understand difficult Mathematics strongly rivals any other full-time Mathematics teachers out there. His persistent teaching style has paid off for me in the 5 long years I was with him. Never in my Secondary School years did I ever get a Mathematics grade that is not an A1. I can imagine the same kind of results have been achieved by many of his students. In the end, I believe the unique point of Wayne Jones Eduhouse is the Wayne Jones Experience itself. Being one of the pioneer batches in WJE, I have had the opportunity to observe the evolution of the learning center. After PSLE 2009, the results from his students gave him the confidence and conviction to stay on with WJE, ultimately deciding to do a makeover in the learning center. There were more tables in the living room for starters! In the study room there were now pictures and motivational quotes, as well as mathematical formulae pasted on the walls. There was an extra table with more chairs, his whiteboard is decorated on the borders and there was a brand new iMac on a desk. Wayne also introduced a new generation of learning materials and the EduPad, the two things that have become symbols of WJE. It became very clear that he was preparing to take in many new students and became more adamant in his efforts to ensure that every single student in his class can achieve the A grade that many in secondary schools strive to achieve. From there, WJE was no longer just a learning center - it became a family, a community. No one ever stepped in for Wayne, and that is perfectly understandable. His teaching style and hospitality is unmatched and that is his ability to blend in teaching and socialising into one concoction - The Wayne Jones Experience. Perhaps that is what I will miss most about Wayne. It was not always the mathematics that I looked forward to when attending lessons. It was Wayne himself - his down-to-earth demeanor, his way of making learning fun in the classroom and the brotherly support he offers to all his students. He never gave up on any of his students unless the students gave up on themselves and firmly believed that they all had the ability to perform. I've seen my classmates in my school perform terribly in mathematics and when they joined WJE, they became the leading bunch of students in the cohort. It was magical to see, that one person can impact so many. I get the feeling that I will not meet many future teachers that have the same impact as he did. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Wayne for nurturing me and staying on with me for so many years and always believing in me when I am about to take my exams. We had difficult moments but we got through them just fine. Maybe his positive attitude rubbed off on me. I remember my last day at Wayne Jones Eduhouse, it was an evening in July 2013. I told Wayne that I could no longer come for lessons because my dad has faced a critical point in his financial crisis due to my graddad's death a week earlier. I left that lesson in advance of everyone else as I have finished my work and he dismissed me from class. He told me I have officially graduated from WJE and wished me luck for my 'O' Levels. It was a quick but heartwrenching moment, knowing that it was the last time I would be in his class. All the memories, of me in Primary 6, having just joined the learning center, flashed back to me. I wish it could have been a better goodbye but nonetheles, it felt like the longest walk back home I ever had. So many memories I had with Wayne. The impact he had on me in my 5 years with him was much greater than I ever anticipated. It has been truly an honour being your student and I wish you the best of luck for the future of WJE ahead. You have done an outstanding service and have positively impacted students everywhere and we are very thankful for your support in our times of need." Renzo, Northbrookes Sec Sch, obtained the honour of achieving A* for PSLE Maths and double A1 for O Level A&E Mathematics.

"Before joining WJE, I remember my additional mathematics score being constantly at a B4 grade, not improving at all, and my physics score was always a just pass score, probably one or two marks above 50. I realised that these were not the scores I was aiming for my O levels so I joined WJE at the end of secondary three through recommendation of my friend who was already attending tuition at WJE and her amath results was improving. All thanks to Wayne's guidance in amath and physics, i attained triple distinctions for my E and A math as well as physics in my O levels. The unique part of WJE is that they have the ability to motivate students to push themselves to work harder, and this allows students to produce good results. Also, i like WJE for having a test after lessons because it helps students to apply what they have learnt and this strengthens our learning on every topic. Thanks Wayne!" Teng Yanwen, Nan Hua Sec School. Obtained the honour of getting double A1s for both Mathematics.

"I never thought it was possible to like Maths in my life. Well... at least not until I joined Wayne Jones Eduhouse during secondary three! My grades for Mathematics and Physics were nothing but terrible before having lessons at Wayne’s. With Wayne’s patience and guidance, my grades improved tremendously, eventually getting distinctions for E Math, A Math as well as Physics during my GCE ‘O’ Levels! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but now I actually LOVE Math. Short topical tests and mock exams provide also helped us further our understanding in Math and Science. Wayne had not only helped us improve our grades, but also taught us how to appreciate the beauty of Math. Besides Wayne’s awesome teaching, the newly renovated Wayne Jones Eduhouse is also a conducive, vibrant and comfortable environment that provides us with a positive learning atmosphere. Students can practice Math, study and chill out with friends outside the classroom, where chairs and tables are provided. Oh and air condition is available too! Wayne is a loving, patient and encouraging tutor who is always willing to help us with our homework and give us valuable advices. Joining Wayne Jones Eduhouse was definitely one of the greatest decision I have ever made. (:" Ang Yip Zao, Nan Hua Sec School.

"I joined Waynejones Eduhouse in 2012. Then, I was scoring really badly in my additional mathematics! One of my friends , Terence , who had been to Wayne's tuition introduced me to him. Terence would always praise that Wayne's a very good teacher . So, I decided to take up his tuition in 2012, February. My grade for my additional mathematics was then F9. I couldn't believe that I cannot even pass a simple test of simultaneous equations then ,due to my extremely weak foundation for maths. Wayne is patient and is very willing to explain things such that students like me could understand what he was teaching. What I remembered from the very FIRST lesson was that, he was starting to teach logarithms and I didn't know a single thing about it. So what he told me was, " Just pretend that you have lost your memory and you're re-learning this topic again." Which is a joke of course. Wayne likes to crack up jokes at any random time. His laughter would literally fill up the whole room , making the students laugh as well. He provides light snacks and drinks to keep us awake in class too! Wayne had provided me with the essentials I needed, such as the edubites (in house materials), edupads (in house notebook) and more . I used to not like mathematics before going to his lessons. However, after attending his lessons I found out that my love for mathematics grew as time passed. And of course, my grades eventually improved a lot. I improved from a F9 to a B3/B4 by mid year and by Final year, I had already scored an A2 for my additional mathematics. I was quite surprised then that I could score an A2 after putting in effort to revise, and do papers that Wayne provided. There is one important point that everyone has to know. It is that we ,as students, have to put in the effort to study and do the questions that he provides, else Wayne's efforts would go into vain. He had sacrificed much of his time for WJE students as well. No matter how tired he is, he would still continue teaching. At the end of every lesson, a test would be prepared for WJE students to put what they have learnt to test. Wayne would mark the scripts and return it by the next day and give comments about the test and he would go through the questions one by one , making sure that everyone understands before doing their corrections. This would apply to the homework that he gives too. He would ask us to clarify any doubts with him. He would also patiently explain what went wrong in our working too. In 2013, I was Secondary 4. My results for additional mathematics didn't go below an A2, for it was always at the top, A1. I owe it all to Wayne's guidance. Then I decided to join his Pure physics tuition in 2013 as well. My physics results back then were around a C6/D7. I always heeded his advice and did the questions and papers that he supplied hence , I gradually showed improvements for both additional mathematics and pure physics. I received my results on 2014 January 13, and I am glad to say that I got an A1 for my additional mathematics and a B3 for my Pure physics ! those were the desired grades that I wanted to see. Wayne cares about his students as well. On the day of O level results release, he called me through the phone and asked me about my results,I was pleased to say that I got an A1 for my additional mathematics and a B3 for my pure physics ! I've seen Wayne Jones Eduhouse grow too during the past 2 years that I've been with Wayne. My experience at Wayne Jones Eduhouse will never be forgotten ." Wilbert Kweh, Northland Secondary School

"Wayne Jones Eduhouse is truly one of a kind. Never have I had such a wonderful experience with tuition and 2 years spent with Wayne Jones was definitely worthwhile. He was the reason why I found hope in maths and science. Students here are able to get a headstart since we cover the topics a month in advance and I could use the extra time to revisit the topics. I didn't have to struggle as much with homework and even if I did, Wayne would gladly help me to clarify my doubts. Tests were also a weekly thing and it gave me an accurate assessment of what I've learnt so I would know what to work on. Due to Wayne's dedicated teachings, I was able to achieve A's for both my maths and science for O's ! I'm proud to be a student of Wayne's and I promise you will too if you give it a shot !" T.
