Testimonials from Students and Parents

Our Students' Remarkable Achievements

With Knowledge Skills, success in GP is celebrated widely — over 80% of our students achieve A to B grades, and more than 90% see an improvement of two grades or more.

"Thank you so much for your help, guidance, and encouragement to Zeph! GP has never been easy for her, and she is grateful for all the extra time you have spent helping her. Her GP grades from E to A is a huge jump! We really appreciate your effort and teaching methods, which helped her fully understand the subject!

"Throughout J1, I had never gotten higher than an E for GP and was clueless about current affairs. After joining Mr Cheong's classes, I improved rapidly within a year and managed to obtain a B for GP. I even started getting 6-8 marks for my summary consistently when I used to only get 3 marks. He made GP interesting, and his notes were easy to understand and very useful. Thank you so much for all the help given to me.”

"Mr Cheong is a very dedicated teacher who helped me improve greatly in GP and obtain my 'A'. I truly appreciate all the feedback given to improve my writing. His lessons were highly effective and focused. He taught me how to apply the content learnt, and his notes were concise, which made revision easy. Thank you, Mr Cheong!"

"My 'A' in GP would not have been possible without Mr Cheong's help. I found Mr Cheong’s lessons extremely effective in dealing with many of my weaknesses and fears of General Paper. He provided concise and effective content notes on how to approach the essay questions and P2 in a systematic manner. The small class size also allowed me to have sufficient personal attention. Thank you, Mr Cheong!"

"Thank you, Mr Cheong, for your guidance! Mr Cheong was a great tutor who helped me correct my weaknesses, such as being too long-winded in my essays and provided useful techniques for Paper 2. He also marked any additional work I sent him and patiently went through them with me. Most importantly, his lessons were clear and engaging.
