Yu Xin Yu, Eunoia Junior College

Dear Mr Chow,

If you told J1 me slightly over a year ago that I would be getting an A in biology for A levels, I might have honestly snorted. Back then, I didn’t and couldn’t hope for anything close to an A for any of my subjects, especially not in Bio. I was barely passing quizzes in class and my grades teetered between a U and an S.

When I first started taking lessons, this was the second bio tuition I was trying out. I was tired, disillusioned and only hoped to salvage what I can when I only had half a year left to turn the tides. Yet even with that type of time constraint, with my type of disposition towards As, you still managed to pull my grades up to a height I couldn’t have dreamed of at a time where it mattered the most.

You were generous with your help, patient with your teachings and always did your best to answer questions and guide the class along. You balanced personalised, focused help with class-based collaborative learning and left no student behind.

Thank you, I will always appreciate the faith you had in everyone and the care you took to make sure our efforts paid off. All the best with your future students and thanks again for helping me believe in myself again!
