My HCI student improved from D in J1 WA1 to A in 2024 promo

My HCI J1 student joined my group tuition after Weighted Assessment 1. She improved from 50% in WA1 to 76% in 2024 J1 promo.

My TMJC student improved from D in promo to A in 2024 prelim

My TMJC student joined my h2 maths group tuition after D grade in promo. He improved to A (80-100) percentile in 2024 prelim

My VJC student got A (80-100 percentile) for VJC 2024 prelim

Instead of doing past VJC prelim to prepare for VJC prelim, we did the harder HCI, RI and NY prelim. She got A for VJC 2024 prelim (80-100 percentile)

VJC 2024 prelim results of student

So it is not compulsory to do past own school prelim. My TMJC student also got A in 2024 prelim by doing the harder HCI, RI and NY prelim in the same group tuition.

My NYJC student scored full marks for 2024 J1 WA2

My NYJC student scored full marks in J1 WA2, in vectors lines and planes, the hardest pure maths topic. He is doing online group tuition.

My VJC student scored A for 2024 J2 MYE

My VJC scored A (80-100 percentile) in 2024 J2 MYE. The cohort average is 52.9%. Before the MYE, we have already finished the syllabus and doing prelim papers.

My VJC student scored A for 2024 J2 Mar CT

My VJC student scored 60/80 (75%, A) for J2 Mar CT. Usually most VJC students don’t do well for J2 Mar CT because it was before the mar 1 week holiday, so most students don’t have time to finish all the school practice papers and topical revision. She only did 1 practice paper plus a few selected questions from the remaining 2 papers.

By 16 Mar 2024, we have covered until Discrete Random Variable in the group tuition. The plan is to finish the whole syllabus before end of June holiday.

How I teach J1 group tuition with students from different JC?

In 2023, I have one VJC and one NYJC student in the same group.

Common J1 topics: System of linear equations, inequalities, graphing, transformation, techniques and applications of differentiation, series expansion, conics, summation, APGP, functions

These are the topics that are tested in one JC’s promo but not the other:

VJC: integration techniques, complex numbers

NYJC: vectors

So I covered all the common J1 topics and also integration techniques, complex numbers and vectors in the same group tuition. The VJC student learnt vectors (VJC J2 topic), and the NYJC student learnt integration techniques (post promo J1 topic) and complex numbers (J2 topic). In order to cover more topics than their school promo, I have to teach at a faster pace than their school, with only two hours tuition weekly.

Both students managed to score A in promo and even learnt in advance J2 topics.

VJC student improved from E to A in 2023 alevel

I tutored a VJC student after he got 46% for J1 MYE, 20-40 percentile. Since 6 in 10 VJC students got A in alevel 2023, tuition helped him improved to at least 40 percentile to get A in 2023 alevel

He eventually got straight As in 2023 alevel

Over the years, I have tutored many VJC and TJC students. If they start tuition shortly after J1 MY or promo and their results are at least 20-40 percentile before tuition, it is highly possible they can get A in alevel.

How my VJC student topped her class in 2023 J1 promo

My VJC student improved from 69% J1 MYE to 85% in promo, topping her class. She was given 5 promo practice papers by her school. What I did is to select the more challenging questions from her promo practice paper to do, and then we go through J2 prelim questions that are relevant in promo.

Because from my past experience, if this year promo paper turns out to be much harder than the previous, then students who merely practice the promo practice papers will not do well this year. Doing just promo practice papers will give just average results since that is what the majority of students are doing. To shine in class, a student needs to master beyond the difficulty level in promo practice papers.
