“Chris is an unusual tutor – in fact, he is more than a mere tutor. He didn’t just shove worksheets after
worksheets into my face, like what my previous tutors used to do. I could tell that he genuinely cared for
my overall well-being and he often inspired me to think about my own future. He also helped analyse
and adjust my study methods, which dramatically cut short the time I had to otherwise spend on
studying the same material. Without him, I probably still would be wasting my time away playing
computer games today and I surely would never gotten accepted in the junior college of my choice!”

“I saw no purpose in doing boring secondary schoolwork, but Chris brought out the joy of learning that I
used to have when I was in primary school. He never ceased to make me laugh with his numerous
ridiculous analogies, which he applied to many of the dull and dreary Science topics. His wacky but
effective approach breathed life into Chemistry again for me and it was all the motivation I needed to
score distinctions in my recent O-levels examinations.”
Janice Chia
Chemistry student, 2018-2019.
“Having being diagnosed with ADHD when I was in Primary 3, my attention span was extremely short
and I easily got bored with almost anything that I had to spend more than 5 minutes learning. My peers
frequently poked fun at my mediocre results and even my school teachers marked me for “death” for
my O-levels. Chris was remarkably patient and he was always quick to read my moods – he would
change his teaching approaches every now and then to sustain my interest. Seeing things from various
perspectives allowed me to score distinctions for both my Sciences!”
Kieron Wong
Physics and Chemistry student, 2017-2018.
“I had been a rebellious student all my life because I had always felt that there was no way that I could
live up to my parents’ and teachers’ expectations. Chris taught me to strive to do my best, for my own
academic accomplishments would serve to benefit no one else but myself. His enthusiasm during our classes kind of rubbed off me as well and I began to reciprocate to what he was showing me. He
demonstrated how to first plan smaller goals to work towards my main ones and how to set up
timelines to achieve my objectives. I never realised that such simple organisation could be so
instrumental to help me realise my dreams."
Caden Chua
Physics and Chemistry student, 2015-2017.
“My eldest daughter was really frustrated with her subjects, especially Sciences – she could not
understand why she kept losing marks even though she had studied so hard for her tests and
examinations. We were so lucky and blessed to have found Chris in my daughter's time of need. He at once noted that she had flaws in her study methods and in the presentation of her calculation as well as theory-based answers. To my surprise, my absolutely obstinate daughter actually listened to him and she
corrected her ways. Consequently, she jumped 3 grades to score an A2 for her O-level Science examination! What is even more surprising was that after applying the same methods to her other subjects, my daughter improved
in most of them as well. Amazing!”

“My youngest son suffers from Dyspraxia and he is slow in processing information too. I have tried to tutor him by myself but it was like talking to a wall on most days. Several tutors that I had hired over the years actually quit rather hurriedly on the same grounds. When I hired Chris, I was half-heartedly thinking that he would likewise give up on him within a couple of months. Fast forward to 28 months later – Chris was still patiently guiding him to grasp new concepts, but it was so obvious that my son had built up his confidence level to a prodigious extent. Today, he no longer shies away from new questions and he believes that he can solve them no matter what. I am still in awe of how Chris did these!”
Mrs Shirley Lim
Parent of Bennett Lim, Physics and Chemistry student, 2016-2018.
“My son was scoring for most of his subjects except for Physics. At one point of time, I was desperate
enough to actually engage 3 different tutors to help my son cope with the same Science subject. Chris
was the third. Within 2 sessions, he observed that my son was bad at memorising key phrases that are
apparently needed for his Science answers and and he immediately introduced memory methods like chunking, mnemonics and memory palaces. I have seen with my own eyes that they work! My son can now memorise 2 pages of theory
under 45 minutes!”

Parent of Zack Low, Physics student, 2017-2019.
“Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak compelled schools to conduct Home-based Learning (HBL), my daughter has been complaining how sparse and boring the content is. Likewise, she had requested me to cancel most of her tuition classes, which all have to be live-streamed till this pandemic improves. I was pleasantly surprised that she continued with her Physics and Chemistry lessons that are both taught by Chris via Zoom. Out of curiosity, I spied on their sessions and I found Chris to be extremely engaging with his savvy educational tools. No wonder she seems to be having so much fun!”
