We all know that a good tutor is difficult to come by. That’s why I’m writing this testimonial, so parents who are feeling helpless and desperate know where to find help.

When I saw my girl’s mid-year results, I realized I had to find her a math tutor asap. In my desperate search, I stumbled upon Miss Loi.

It was definitely the right choice to engage Miss Loi as my girl’s tutor. Competent and dedicated, she was a large factor in the tremendous improvement in my girl’s math grades.

Mid-Year Results Before Tuition:
E-Math: D7
A-Math: E8

Year-End Results After Tuition For Three Months:
E-Math: B3
A-Math: C6

GCE O-Level Results After Tuition For Five Months:
E-Math: A2
A-Math: A2

So Hurry! Get Help! Don’t Wait! The sooner you do so, the higher the chance of good grades!

Ms 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!

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。

Ms 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 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.

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.

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.

I 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!
