I am always thankful to The Annexe Project and Alvin for standing by my side and rooting for me during the N and O levels.
I never thought of aiming for an A for my A Math until Alvin suggested me to join his class back in 2016, when I was still preparing for my N levels. I eventually scored an A that year for both my E Math and A Math for the N levels! This not only gave me the confidence to continue with O-Levels the following year, it also provided me a strong foundation that eventually got me an A for both my E Math and A Math for the O levels as well!
Secondary 5 was definitely a struggle for me but the stress level definitely reduced thanks to Alvin’s effective ways of teaching. He believes in creating a lively teaching atmosphere by cracking jokes during lessons, and that brought much joy and laughter to our class. Because he is such an approachable person, I am never afraid to reach out to him for extra consultations, ask questions on “Whatsapp” or raise my hands during his lessons to clarify concepts. This is something that I do not do often with my tutors in school. His lessons are always enjoyable and enriching as well. With his detailed explanations, unique solving methods and just-right paced lessons, I was able to get myself back on track to get that coveted A I had been dreaming of eventually!
Alvin’s willingness to go far and beyond for his students can be seen through the endless consultations he provides, even if it means staying beyond his working hours. I vividly remember the number of times I met him after lessons for consultations, sometimes even late at night, and the numerous questions that I put in front of him, which he patiently solved them without any hesitation or complain. His support and words of encouragement motivated me to push beyond my limits. He made me realised that the term “NA” shouldn’t be a barrier that stops me from believing in myself and achieving higher goals in life.
