Achevas Education
Jack has been a great teacher and friend through my O level year, and though I joined him last minute, he made the learning experience for A Math fun and interesting. My interest in math grew and my grades also improved tremendously. Also, when O level was round the corner, he allowed me to stay at Achevas to do my work and clarify my doubts, which normal tuition teachers will not do for you! In the past, tuition was just a "boring" affair that I was forced to attend every week, but when I attended Achevas, I actually looked forward to attending tuition. Thanks for making the "torture" of studying so much more fun and personal! Also, thanks for giving me value added service by lending me your books and taking extra time off to help me! (:

I do not know how lucky I am to meet Jack during my A level preparation. His approach towards maths was different from what we used to learn from school - He used TOP™ to guide and show us overall understanding of each and every chapter of maths. I used to consider maths as another memorizing subject that we have to keep memorizing the same formulas and types of questions. However, he changed my approach towards maths and taught me how to broaden my understanding and apply concepts that we learnt to all the different types of questions. His lessons never fail to enlighten me as his analytical and extensive explanation always allowed me to clear my doubts.
Jack has always encouraged students to ask him questions and he boosted our confident in maths by guiding us step-by-step. All I can say is that he was not just another maths teacher for me and my classmates but he is also our friend, parent and senior who always help us in maths, many other subjects and school-life too. We could learn a lot from his positive attitudes and strong belief in oneself to excel in our studies, and he constantly cheered us to stay strong during A level periods as well. Last but not least, he proved the importance of good cooperation between student and teacher as “A” cannot be solely achieved by either good teacher or smart student but only when both of them work together as one. ACHEVAS ALL THE WAY!

Tuition has always been boring to me. Math tuition was the worse and I have always been failing my mathematics. To me, it was a torture and I disliked it so whenever possible I would avoid it. When I first started JC I struggled with Maths for the first 3 months, failing consecutive tests. But one day I chanced upon Achevas, hesitant in the beginning but I still decided to give it a try. "WOW" - this is the word I would use to describe the experience! After learning Math from Jack, I begin to view it as a fun and exciting challenge. And with the aid of Achevas' unique learning process, I began to do well for my tests. However I did badly again during my mid-year but Jack continued to guide and mentor me, correcting my exam techniques and changing my mindset, and within the next two months I experienced a five-grades improvement for my end-of-year! Jack is an amazing teacher and motivator!

Through lessons with Achevas, I learnt the importance of understanding Math concepts. Previously I had disliked Math and had thought that memorizing formulas and the method of answering would suffice. Now that I have understood the concepts and the basics, I am able to do Math questions with more confidence. Lessons are also interesting, with Jack using analogies to help us understand certain concepts better. This has definitely changed my mindset that Math lessons are boring, and has helped with my absorption of lessons. There is also no fear of having problems with understanding, because Jack is very approachable and we can clarify our doubts with him without feeling pressured. He would also give us suggestions to change our way of presentation or to make some notes so that we were able to see the question and see our train of thought more clearly. Thank you Jack! :D

When I just entered Junior College, I thought I would be able to cope with Mathematics. But I was wrong. Though I managed to pass it every single time, my scores were always borderline. Then I attended tuition at Achevas. I personally felt that my concepts for Mathematics strengthened, and my results had proven it too. After attending just a month of lessons, my Math grade jumped from E to B.
During my learning journey at Achevas, I have learnt countless things from Jack, be it something within the classroom or out of the classroom. Whether the results were good or bad, Jack never fail to be positive and he doesn't stop encouraging his students. Jack would give his utmost effort to help his students whenever they are in need.
If you are looking for a very dedicated, patient tutor (and friend), he's the one you're looking for!

Jack’s Thorough Tutlining Process (TOP™) learning methodology has greatly strengthened my fundamental understanding of math concepts especially in topics such as Vectors and Calculus. By dissecting complex formulas into basic core concepts, I can understand and apply. Jack provides concise notes that are great studying material. He is a jovial and encouraging tutor who is akin to a friend. He does not stress us but provides us as much help as he can during the A level period. His interactive and enjoyable lessons are something I look forward to every week :)

I started math tuition with Jack when it was nearing prelims and through his guidiance and encouragement, I was able to discover math in a different light and able to fully comprehend what was required of the demanding A'Level syllabus. Jack was able to provide sufficient and essential notes and practices to aid in my preparation and ensured that we were equipped with key skills in time management and strategies to tackle the Mathematics Paper. He was also amazingly able to spark the slightest of interests even within the most dreaded topics. My experience with Jack within a short period of 3 months was exceedingly fruitful and definitely boosted me in my pursuit for mathematics excellence.
