Testimonial by Rachel Chan 2015

My math has never been good, and I have been failing math since P4. Hence I found it quite miraculous when I passed math in psle with a B. Then everything went downhill from sec 1 onwards once again. Because of my 18.9/100 (F9) for math at the end of Sec 2, I was denied the chance to take pure sciences and amath, hence went on to take combined science in sec 3. In Sec 3 I realised I really needed help for math and hence joined a particular tuition for 1 year plus, but my grades seemed to remain or even deprove a little. Then I went onto Sec 4 and once again failed my Prelim 1 with a F9 and that was when I enrolled into WJE by word of mouth. I was barely left with 4-5months towards Os but my math had improved to a B4 by Prelim 2. It was the first time I had felt hopeful for math. Before Os our school had let us try a TKSS math paper for mock exam and I got an A. The first A for math I had ever gotten in my whole entire life. I then went on to getting an A2 for my emath O levels. What I also really like about this tuition is the after class tests. I feel like the tests help me to review whatever I have learnt in the lesson and helps me to grasp the concept even better. We can also text wayne whenever we are stuck with a question. This is really not your typical tuition. At my previous tuition the teacher just rambled on and on because the boys were fast in grasping the concepts, while I lagged even further behind. At WJE, we are encouraged to speak up whenever we have doubts and his explanations is really clear and precise!! To improve our grades, Wayne also tells us that we need to have the right mindset, so after I finally believed that I could pass math, I went onto getting further than a pass. Math even became one of my favourite subjects towards O levels!! Finally I want to say, thank you Wayne for making me realise that math is actually quite simple and enjoyable!!! :)
