John Tan

What our students say

"Mr John, the absolute goat, is the most incredible tuition teacher I have ever had. He is a very down-to-earth, laid-back guy that I'm not scared of asking questions to. He gives comprehensive notes that he stayed up till 2 am compiling; oral tips, sample essays, past year questions, how to identify and answer every question type in P2, how to score well for editing instead of relying solely on “what sounds right”. Everything was in there. I had always wished to have collated notes for the respective skills and question types but was unable to create them myself because my knowledge and notes were all over the place. The biggest impact he had on me was when he taught me how to write essays. I completely banked on solely practising argumentative or discursive essays because I only knew how to do that. However, through Mr John's teaching, I discovered that I learnt best through examples. He showed me some example essays and and explained in such a way that I realised I was starting to get the hang of descriptive essays. Mr John and his teachings directly impacted me as I went from someone who had never written a descriptive essay before, to someone who chose to write one for my Paper 1 in English O-Levels. I even used many descriptive phrases from his sample essays which made me feel adequately prepared for my O-Levels, and I will forever be grateful for it. From scoring C grades for English, I managed to score an A1 in my O-Levels. I am so glad I found Zenith and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who struggles in subjects that Zenith offers — even people who think there's no hope. Just give it a try, I think you may be surprised. Many thanks to Zenith and Mr John!!!"
