Dear Mr Phay,
I would like to thank my economics teacher at Learner’s Lodge, Mr Phay, for his unwavering confidence and faith in all of his students. I took a leap of faith and joined Learners’ Lodge only in JC2 after several recommendations from school mates, as I had been consistently failing economics in school, and my JC1 foundation had been extremely weak. The amount of content to cover had always been very daunting and overwhelming to me, and I didn’t quite know how to get started. Thus, the structured way Mr Phay broke down and summarised the concepts proved to be very helpful and effective in helping me choose what to focus the most time on, allowing me to catch up quickly on older chapters. In addition, Mr Phay’s lessons are always lively, his enthusiasm and passion for the subject helping to cultivate a very positive and hence conducive learning environment for me, which made waking up early on Sunday mornings bearable and a lot more worthwhile. My improvement was not at all immediate, but my confidence in him and his encouragement, allowed me to eventually see the effort pay off. I’d like to extend this message of gratitude to him, for he truly played a big part in my economics journey in JC. I’m glad I took that leap of faith. :-)
