I was first introduced to Ms Ang’s tuition class when I was in secondary 3. My sister, who was also in her class for A-Maths two years before me, suggested that I seek help from Ms Ang, I was failing my A-Maths and barely passing my E-Maths. I was falling behind the school’s syllabus and did not really pay much attention in class. Ms Ang did not give up on me. She assured me that my grades would definitely improve as long as I am willing to put in effort in my studies.
During my secondary 3 mid-year exams, I failed all of my tests and exams for A-Maths. I did not pay much attention to my grades. It was only a few months before my secondary 4 prelim examination that I realised how little time I had before my ‘O’ Levels. During this period, Ms Ang did not lose faith in me. She encouraged me not to give up and I started put in effort in my studies. My grades improved in the preliminary examination. I realised maths wasn’t really as difficult as it seemed to be and thus gained interest in learning.
Two months before my ‘O’ Levels, Ms Ang patiently taught me from the basic by focusing on ten-year series papers. I attained an A2 for E-Maths and B3 for A-maths in my ‘O’ Levels. Though my result may not sound impressive, I am contented as without the help and encouragement from Ms Ang, I am pretty sure I would have failed or given up on A-Maths. It’s been more than 2 years since I graduated from secondary school, Ms Ang is one of the best teachers I have had. I am really grateful to her. The time, effort and patience she had put in to coach me during my ‘O’ Levels is beyond words.
Thank you, Ms Ang, for all that you have done for me!
P.S. To all the secondary school students taking ‘O’ Levels : As long as you have a positive attitude towards Maths, Ms Ang would be more than willing to help you to excel in Mathematics.
