Kristin Qu, Temasek Junior College

I first met Ms Ruby Ng when I signed up for her J2 Math Tuition. At that time, I was not confident in my math at all. I had never passed Math before in school exams. Seeing how brilliant my classmates were, I was even more pressurised. However, Ms Ng had faith in me that I could do well, and it was her motivation that drove me on. Ms Ng is the most inspirational tutor anyone can ask for. She explained every math question in great details, which enabled even borderline-pass students like me to fully grasp the concept. Despite being detailed in her explanations, her lesson was still very efficient and she could manage to go through all the questions we attempted in every single session. She was good at balancing between her smart and average students. She gave the fast learners more chances to practice their mathematical skills while she attended to the slow learners. Most importantly, she clarified my doubts and rekindled my interest which was almost diminished in learning Mathematics as a subject.
Ms Ng is dedicated to teaching and nurturing her students. I will never forget how she would sacrifice her precious lunchtime and go back-to-back from Jurong East to Kembangan, just to be on time to start our lesson. Ms Ng is willing to reach out to her students and befriend with them, which I find rare among tutors. After class, I saw her as a dear friend whom I could talk to about practically anything, from pop cultures to real-life issues. She enjoys spending time and she takes care of her students’ well-being outside merely studies and giving her valuable opinions when necessary. She also has a great eye for seeing the strengths and potentials quickly in a student, thus helping him or her develop them.
I have never regretted a single time for signing on this journey with Ms Ruby Ng. I learned a lot from her and will have more to learn in the days to come.
