The O level chemistry tuition that changed my flair for chemistry

Since young, I had a passion for science and I used to see television programs and wondering why certain things work in a certain manner.

However, my experience at Jurong Secondary school was not what I expected as my grades were always E8 and D7. Then I realized the problem.

The problem was I cannot understand my chemistry teacher in school maybe because there are 40 students in a class in school or maybe because I have lost interest in Chemistry because I have been perpetually failing.

Achievers Dream: My Experience

It was a pathetic situation until I joined Achievers Dream where I heard there are many chemistry success stories… The tuition was fun and interesting. Coupled with concise notes, I start to see improvement in my chemistry assignments.

Unlike what I experienced in school, the tutors at Achievers dream are patient and use several teaching methods to impact knowledge into me. It becomes very easy to memorize stuff, this was very hard to do before, but the tutor I am working with has a unique way of encouraging me to master those complex equations, even organic chemistry, with its complex formulas are no longer scary to me.

The manner the chemistry tutor takes to explain the subject makes it be very simple to comprehend. I have not had chemistry this simple in my entire school life; the subject is not difficult to me again, thanks to hard work and dedication of my tutor.

My school performance improves

Since I joined the tuition, my progress in chemistry is noticeable in school as well. I used to be confused when our subject teacher in school used to take the class and I would not contribute, but the tuition as impacted confidence in me, I ask questions, balance equations and contribute positively in class activities, unlike before.

I’m beginning to see chemistry as the most interesting subject in school since, I stopped depending solely on what the school teacher is teaching, it helps me to be able to find my way around chemistry.

Class teachers are working to finish the subject outline, and in the process, some students may not be able to move at the pace that the general class is moving. I used to be in the category of students, which could not assimilate at the fast pace of the class; so when I enrolled for the chemistry tuition.  I received help from the tutor assigned to me, who is passionate, friendly and above all, is patient and never mind going over the topic over and again, in order to make me grasp the topic.

I once dreaded chemistry classes and was considering if I was doing the right thing with my career, but the story is different now. Achievers Dream is making the champion out of me, my confidence level is at all high level, I can solve chemistry questions more readily, even complicated organic chemistry is now fun to me, and there is nothing better to demand in my life than what I’m enjoying.
