This is Kelvin’s mummy. I am very happy to inform you that Kelvin scored A1 for Add Maths and an A2 for his E-Maths.
My heartfelt appreciation for your excellent coaching for the whole of last year without which he will not have made such amazing progress!! I still remembered desperately searching for a maths tutor to help him prepare for his O level.
He was faring so poorly (failing his A-Maths and just managing to pass his E-maths) inspite of tuition. I am so glad that I saw the article in The Straits Times on “Super Tutors” one day and you were one of the tutor featured. What impressed me was that it was written you will fire any student who is lazy!! “Wow” I thought, that is one serious tutor!
Thank God, under you, he begins to make steady progress and also did not make any excuse not to go for tuition, unlike in the past!
Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart, Miss Loi, for helping my son to achieve his potential. Keep up your excellent work!! Your students and my son are blessed to have a ‘Super Tutor’ like you.
With deepest appreciation,

I still remember when I was in Sec 3 and my A-Math teacher pulled 3 students out of the class after they scored between 2-4 marks for a test. One of them was me. She made us sit outside the class and reflect on our grades. All 3 of us were one of the worst students (academically) in the class, and maybe in the whole level. At that time, I really thought I was just doomed forever not being able to do math. I always thought I was just naturally bad at math (probably because I hated algebra since Sec 1 and could hardly pass math ever since algebra was introduced).
So you must be wondering what happened to the 3 of us. One got retained, the other didn’t get promoted but nevertheless got advanced eventually thus she dropped A-Math so it was only me left standing to face A-Math in the Os.
But just one fine day during the holidays I stumbled upon your website and I think I was very, very lucky to get a slot in your busy schedule and even luckier to still be able to attend beyond the school holidays even though you said I might not have a slot after the holidays.
Ever since I started attending Jφss Sticks, algebra and everything else seems so much easier! I really want to thank you for re-teaching everything all over again and for specially making time for me - it must be really torturous. Thank you for all the late night lessons just before the O levels and the wonderful notes! Thanks for all your awesome explanation and for putting up with all my careless mistakes. And thanks for the sour sweets that kept me awake even when I felt sleepy (I’m addicted to it right now, bought many many of it in Malaysia) and for rushing out the answers for the O level scripts! I really owe it to you for my grades right now and I enjoyed all my lessons at Joss sticks, it was very fun! Btw, everyone was pretty shocked when they found out I got an A1 for both A-Math and E-Math. So, THANK YOU!

I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Miss Loi for her constant help and guidance. My EMath and AMath grades were slipping, but thankfully, I could find such a GREAT teacher! Miss Loi is a dedicated teacher and she helped me whenever I needed her to explain a question. I really appreciate her support and encouragement.
I started out with little confidence in Math, feeling nervous before every Math test. However, I was confident for the ‘O’ Levels as I knew that Miss Loi had prepared me very well. I ended up achieving A1 for both EMath and AMath. This is all thanks to Miss Loi for giving me so much practice and allowing me to come for many extra classes even though sometimes her class was already full.
I’m really happy to get such great results so THANK YOU MISS LOI

Click to enlargeMs Loi is someone who knows the math syllabus (both additional and elementary) like the back of her hand. Trigonometry, logarithms, probability, et cetera the ‘O’ level syllabus is practically at the tips of her fingers. She is able to convey the crux of the topic to any student in the simplest manner ever.
I was struggling in my maths, the turning point came for me when Ms Loi became my tuition teacher, after which my maths grades improved significantly. Although the ‘O’ levels are over, and come what may the results, i would just like to say thank you to Ms Loi for being such a wonderful teacher!
The journey is what most matters, and you have been absolutely sensational!

Click to enlarge老师的任务是教育学生。但是，每一个学生的学习方式都不一样，而若想事倍功半，便须先了解学生，才能让学生更有效的学习。Ms Loi 便是这样一位老师。她愿意和学生打成一片，了解其个性与学习方式，然后才叫学生如何“对付”那些过去他们可能不理解的难题。 虽说学习没有捷径，但只要通过这样的方式巩固学生们的数学基础，那么学习进度也毋庸置疑的会跟着加快和更有效率。从我的角度看，这就是Ms Loi所采取的教育方式。
学生最害怕的应该就是“多做多错”，而因此给了自己懒惰的借口。不过，Ms Loi 却会坚持推翻这样的歪理。对学生来说，她扮演的是推动的角色。在适当的时候，她便优点给予鼓励，缺点给予建议，以及额外帮助学生的资料，好为学生们做好万全的准备，从容的应付大考。扮演着鼓励的角色也可使学生用更积极的态度面对排山倒海的功课。
中三时，我对数学已经心灰意懒，认为那是难以捉摸的科目。但是，在Ms Loi 的耐心教导下，面对中四离校考试时，我对两科数学以信心满满。而在稍早前的预考中，两科数学也拿了A1。

Click to enlargeMs Loi is a focused teacher who drives her students to their maximum limits. Personally, she has helped to raise my math grades to above average, with frequent As. Her teaching methods are exam orientated and precise and include giving out practice papers, issuing tests and making sure that concepts are learnt properly before moving on. She also has an easy going nature that makes it easy for students to interact and form friendships with her.
Thus, it is not an overstatement when I say that she has so far been the best tuition teacher I have ever had!!

Ms Loi is the best Maths tutor I ever encountered, whom both my children had the privilege to be under her tutelage. She not only knows her work well but is also very dedicated, exam focused in her approach and most importantly, produces results. For parents and students in search of a good math tutor, Ms Loi’s services come highly recommended.

Miss Loi is smart, efficient, helpful, friendly, pretty(!) and easy going! What more can you ask of a tuition teacher? I was a F9, E8 person for maths … But after attending lessons for a month (4 sessions, 8 hours!), I jumped to A1!
OMG! Unbelievable! Compared to my friends who have attended tuition for 1 year and still fail! Miss Loi is definitely so much more efficient and effective! I’m glad to have found her!
PS: There’re still sweets provided! What more can you ask for?

Miss Loi is a dedicated and focused teacher, who not only does her job well, but is also a friend to her students. She often encouraged me, telling me to not be defeated by the questions that quickly, and continue to persevere in the face of failure. Amazingly, when she speeds through the various topics, I can fully understand the concepts at once.
One thing that I like about her teaching method is that she will note all the important concepts and common questions likely to come out in the exam in a notebook, allowing me to revise with ease and convenience. She is also apt at pinpointing my weak areas, constantly working on them until I could even attempt the challenging questions!
And what she mentions about her ability to spot exam questions, it’s true!
Through her guidance, I became more confident, and even interested in maths. My grades improved consistently, from F9s to Bs during prelims. Her pleasant and likeable personality also provided a cheery environment for learning.
When I received my O Levels results, I achieved A1 for E Maths and A2 for A Maths. Thanks Miss Loi! You’re the best maths tutor I’ve had!

Exciting. Enjoyable. Enriching. These are probably three words I would use to describe Miss Loi’s lessons.
Her methods of teaching are concise as well as organized, following the O’ level syllabus very closely. This has allowed me to grasp the many mathematical concepts very quickly and also apply it to my daily work at school.
Lessons with her are never dull or boring because of her cheerful disposition when teaching. This allows me to feel very comfortable in terms of interacting with her or just asking questions when I do not understand the concept fully. Miss Loi’s patience and clear explanations truly benefited me in terms of both my grades and also character development.

A year with you has definitely been a fruitful one. I am so glad to have found you and I always look forward to your lessons. I find you different from other tutors: Pro, Jovious & Creative. Your dedication and patience to ensure every student and myself achieve As is beyond imagination. Furthermore, lessons have always been sweetened by your Sour Sweets.
I entered The Temple without carrying much hope, just like a candle without its light. As lessons went on, the candle lighted up and the fire in my heart ignited as well. This caused the electric impulses in my body to travel through the synapse into the relay neuron of my brain. [Miss Loi: this sentence is bit 离题.]
From weeks to months, I realize that I have been brightened up by your systematic lessons. You have caught my weaknesses and transformed it into my strengths.
With that, I just wanna say that I really appreciate your help and guidance and I hope that one day, I will be able to help others like the way you do.
Thank you sooooo much. (and oh yes I will miss you!)

I joined this tuition two months before the ‘O’ level examination. I was a F9 student all along but miracle worked on me after a few weeks of tuition. My mathematics grade improved and I am no longer the last for any mathematics test and examination. Because of this, I now have more confidence than before.
Ms Loi, Thank You! I am really blessed to know you as my ‘miracle healer’. Haha
I love you!

Maths is a taboo topic for me and has been the bane of my life since Primary 5. It’s a struggle for me to attain any thing above 60 marks and when the crucial Secondary 3 dawns on me, my mother decided to take quick action. I have had other tutors before but I needed a Good One desperately.
She met Miss Loi at a business group meeting and made arrangements for her to tutor me for A maths. Till today, I am still astounded with my first results just after 5 lessons with Miss Loi. I scored the highest in the test! Well, as the saying goes … the rest is history.
Miss Loi is both resourceful and comprehensive. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. In many instances, she was able to highlight probable questions and pinpoint areas which most students tend to have problems with. This is culled, I believe from years of experience and being focused on the subject.
With Miss Loi’s help, I have been able to score top marks ever since.

Out of the 12 math teachers I’ve had in my whole life, I’ve hated all 12 of them. Ms Loi is the only math teacher that I like!! After attending these tuition sessions at Jφss Sticks, I realized that I can actually do math! The formulae / equations /
cheatingor secret techniques that Ms Loi had taught me were really helpful. The only bad thing is her face and her voicehaunts meappear in my mind at nights especially the 2 nights before my Paper 1; I totally couldn’t sleep because Ms Loi’s voice kept repeating “when intercept at Y, X equals WHAT?!!?” It’s really scary but nevertheless thank you Ms Loi!!!Jasmine Lim

She has saved me from the evils of F9s which I have been getting since I started secondary school. For the 3 months that I have attended her class, I have done more than I thought I was capable of – LIKE PASSING MY PRELIMS. Her hilarious comments that she makes randomly in class, as well as her awesome teaching methods make her lessons something to look forward to.
I ♥LOVE♥ MATHS

Ms Loi’s math tuition classes have been beneficial, without a doubt; evident from the fact that my perpetual U-grade / F9 Math scores improved to a decent pass within a few mere weeks of lessons during my Prelims. Her lessons are very well-structured, and she has a strange ability to make you remember complex formulae within minutes. Her lessons are very effective as she manages to cover all the fundamental principles and crucial stuff WITHOUT FAIL within 2 hours! Her lessons are a virtual savior to the Math-handicapped. MISS LOI ROCKS!

Miss Loi has taught me how to love math again. She has exposed me to different types of math questions and widen my knowledge in math. Over the short span of 3 months, my math has improved tremendously and I am capable of doing more questions with much ease. Miss Loi is a great teacher and she is highly regarded and respected among her students. Miss Loi has also sacrificed her daily meals and personal time for the benefit of her students and she is always willing to go the extra mile to help the weaker students. Miss Loi is indeed a fantastic teacher and friend. She has truly blessed me richly with her brilliant teachings.
I’d have to admit, for a math teacher, she’s really a gem.

I really have to thank Miss Loi for helping me out in my math and making me realise that I have potential in doing math.
I’ve seen so many math teachers but the perfect and the most positive math teachers out of all is Miss Loi. She is very patient and positive. When I don’t know how to answer a sum, she will explain a thousand times till I understand. The way Miss Loi teaches makes life easier as she uses many many
shortcutmethods and smart techniques to understand math topics fast.Ms Loi has been more of a great friend than a teacher as she is understanding and makes sure that I don’t give up on math. At the same time, her practice papers and notes have been really helpful. After attending her lessons my interest on maths has increased by a zillion times compared to the rest of my P1-Sec 5 life.
Thank You Ms Loi for being a great friend, helping me to a great extent to understand math and being very patient with me. I will really miss you so much after my ‘O’s. Thanks! Love you … =) All of the credit goes to you Miss Loi!!!

Hi Miss Loi. I would like to thank you for your help and effort you have given Shi Hui. She did very well for her A-Maths class test. I’m very happy for her. I can see that she is more confident now, especially when she has been previously suffering from lack of confidence and kept on telling me that she “can’t do it”. Now she says “Yes! I can do it!”.
Thanks and appreciate it!

“He has shown significant improvement in Maths” - this was written by my son’s teacher in his report card for the recently completed end-of-the-year Sec 1 exam. We were fortunate to have Miss Loi take my son under her wings in June this year and in a matter of four short months, his grade jumped to an A2. His achievement is due, in no small part, to Miss Loi’s excellent teaching efforts and patience. Apart from her wide experience in teaching the subject, I have also found Miss Loi to be a pleasant, responsible and flexible teacher and have no qualms in recommending her to parents seeking a good and effective Maths tutor for their children.
Thanks, Miss Loi, for working with Daniel. And although Daniel may not say it, I am sure he is grateful to have you as his tutor.

Ms Loi is a very good teacher. She makes sure she helps you especially in your weak areas and teaches you fast methods to overcome these maths problems. Ms Loi is also very spot-on (experienced), in that she chooses the correct questions or topics to go through such that you are well-prepared for any test or exam.
Her lessons are always enjoyable as she tries to make the lesson interactive so you enjoy what you are learning. Although I used to dislike maths as i never did well in that subject, Ms Loi helped me overcome that dislike and gave me lots of practice that made me more confident and eventually helped me do well in my O’ levels.
It’s been a pleasure having her as my tutor.

Click to enlargeI first came to Ms Loi barely a month before my preliminary examinations. I needed a tuition teacher badly, for my Amath and Emath results were unsatisfactory, and I was intending to count these subjects in my L1R5. Initially, I was hesitant about having a tuition teacher as my previous 2 experiences with private tutors had been bad ones.
I might as well be honest in saying that I suffer from an inferiority complex, and more often than not, I seek to please others too hard, for I am afraid of what others might say if I don’t live up to their expectations. Because of this, when it comes to private tutors, I find myself hesitant to answer questions or do sums during lessons, for fear of getting the wrong answer and incurring the disapproval of the teacher.
With Ms Loi however, everything was so different. From the very first lesson, she strived to make me feel at ease and even confident with my own ability to do math. Both my Amath and Emath results had dropped to a C6 then, and during lessons, Ms Loi painstakingly went through everything again, sometimes even returning back to the basics and working from there. I find her an excellent teacher who knows the syllabus well, for her expertise is evident from the way she is able to accurately spot exam questions and provide students with sufficient practice on popular exam topics.
Most importantly, during lessons, any fear I ever had about getting sums wrong was dispelled for Ms Loi made it so “okay” to make mistakes. I never feared to say the words “I don’t know”. Not for once did she launch into a reprimand of “I thought I taught you this before!” or “You should have known this already!”. Without question, she would once again re-teach and give me related questions to do such that I would know the topic intimately. Even when I felt that I did horribly during tests, her encouragements to persevere always served to motivate me.
Needless to say, under Ms Loi, I progressed tremendously and in my preliminary examinations a month later, I actually scored A1s for both my Amaths and Emaths. With these results, my L1R5 was 6 points and I managed to get into Raffles Junior College. I must say that I really have Ms Loi to thank for such excellent results and I do hope I won’t let her down when the O level results are out.
Once again, thanks so much Ms Loi!

Miss Loi is AWESOME! Before I joined her tuition class, practising maths problems always seemed to be a chore. I would rather study Chinese than study Maths. But after I joined Miss Loi’s tuition, under her guidance, I found my love for maths. Maybe it’s coz of her enthusiasm, or maybe it’s coz her passion for teaching maths is ‘contagious’, that led me to finally change my opinion of Maths. Sometimes when I feel down and start to hate maths again, Miss Loi is always there to help me. My wish would be that Miss Loi will teach maths on the JC level too, so that I won’t have to worry about my maths then! =D *hints to Miss Loi* =D

Well, it is that time of the year again and we will be back in Singapore for the summer holidays. I am wondering if you could spare time in your busy schedule to coach my son in Math again? He told me last year that you are one of the best teachers he had and he had really learnt a lot from you. Even though the time was short last year, it did gave him a good foundation in his school Math. I am really pleased and glad that we found you even though we were in Beijing at that time - the wonders of Internet!!

When I was informed by my sister that I have been enrolled for maths tuition I was really annoyed. Although I knew that I required extra help for my Mathematics, I never liked tuition, as my friends have always complained about their experiences with their freaky tuition teachers and the piles of extra assessment papers which had overloaded them with stress.
However I soon started to show much eagerness towards my Maths after I joined the tuition. I gradually started to improve in my Maths, as the tutor, Miss Loi, showed much care and patience towards me and was often kind enough to understand my time constrain at times and granted me extra time to complete my work.
I would really like to thank Miss Loi for helping to create an interest in me towards Maths!
Cheers =)

MISS LOI has been an awesome teacher and has taught me math concepts over and over again without any grouse. She’s very patient and her lessons are fun with her seemingly endless supply of sweets to perk us up when we feel tired!
From her, I learnt a lot of math concepts I previously did not understand at all. Now that lessons are over, I kinda miss them! Anyway, Miss Loi is one of the best teachers out there and I’m forever grateful to her for helping me. Thanks a lot, Miss Loi!
Little Miss Loi is the most patient teacher I have ever met in my life. Even if I forget some of the things she has taught me previously, she would still teach them all over again without any complain. She has helped me to increase my knowledge in Chemistry and Physics tremendously and I’m truly grateful for that.
Little Miss Loi works tirelessly for her students and always does her best to ensure we grasp our concepts properly, so as to enable us to achieve great results. Therefore, I would like to take this chance to thank her now. THANK YOU, LITTLE MISS LOI! I’LL MISS YOU!

Click to enlargeAfter starting lessons with Mr Loi in June, I was able to understand why my Additional & Elementary Mathematics grades were consistently unsatisfying and worrying. The constructive feedback Mr Loi gave after reviewing my work were extremely helpful and lessons were productive. Hope and confidence in the possibility of finally doing well in both subjects we rekindled. Being honest, direct and blunt, Mr Loi didn’t paint fancy pictures and possibilities, but encouraged me to face facts and work hard for success.
I am truly fortunate and lucky to have found such a dedicated and hardworking Mathematics tutor such as Mr Loi at such a crucial time in my graduating year! Thanks, Mr Loi!

Click to enlargeDuring my secondary 3 year, I’ve had to face many new challenges with the introduction of new subjects. 1 of the subjects is A-Maths. At that time I was unsure of whether I could even pass, but with the guidance of my A-Maths tutor Mr Loi I had full confidence of scoring an A1 in the o levels. His methods were entirely relevant and catered to my style of learning. His moral support also made me determined to prove myself to be a top scorer in my school. Sure enough, my teachers were surprised at the rate I was improving on one of the most difficult subjects in school. Beforehand, my grades mostly ranged between Bs and Cs. But under his guidance, I managed to score As for almost every test given.
Besides being a good teacher, Mr Loi is also a friend to all whom he mentors. He frequently makes an effort to connect with his students such that they too will be motivated to do their best. Aside from this, he has vast knowledge about how secondary and junior college math techniques which in passing down to me gave me an edge my other classmates did not have. Indeed I would not be where I am today if not for his work.

I want to thank my mathematics tutor, Mr Loi. Since secondary one my math has been very weak and very often, my math exams results were F9s. I was extremely worried about my math for my GCE O levels in 2008, But thanks to his fun, professional and most effective lessons I am able to miraculously obtain a pass in merely 4 months time. My mother and I would like to express our deepest gratitude to him through this testimonial. And lastly to my dear teacher and also friend, Mr Loi, I did it! =)

Indeed my math has improved since coming for Mr Loi’s lessons because he was really very approachable and gave us lots of opportunities to ask questions and clarify our doubts. The class size is also quite appropriate as a small group of 4-5 helps facilitate discussions as well as makes learning more effective. Overall, the lessons were really interesting and the practices given truly helps to supplement what is taught in school. Hence, ultimately, I did relatively well for my A levels after attending the lessons for a few months.
