Taking Bio in JC without having taken Bio in secondary school definitely caused me to struggle really badly with H2 Bio 😭😭. I was super lost and ended up flunking my first few bio tests. After joining Phoebe’s classes, my grades improved drastically from an S to an A in A-Levels! Eventually I made it into my dream course which was NUS Medicine! Bio is so much more than regurgitation and requires a firm understanding of the subject to ace A-Levels. I was super glad that I could text Phoebe with any questions I had!! Her lessons are always super fun and enjoyable, where we bond over funny bio memes and feel comfortable clarifying any doubts we have. The welfare is also super good!!! Getting treated to Playmade or Starbucks during bio lessons really helped me stay focused throughout the lesson 🧋

Biology had always felt like a subject that required endless memorisation, and for most of my school life, that’s all I did. But as the questions became more challenging, I realised that memorisation alone wasn’t enough. 😭😭 That’s when Phoebe made all the difference. She taught me how to turn all that knowledge into well-structured answers, understand exactly what each question was asking, and adapt my responses accordingly. 🧠🔥 Phoebe’s classes are incredibly comfortable, and I never felt afraid to ask questions. You can really feel how much she cares about every student, which made me look forward to lessons every week (plus, I got to see chiobu!! 😍). She even sent us an encouraging message on A-level results day to reassure us and make sure we were okay (honestly, I cried a little 😭💖). I’m so, SO glad I joined, and you definitely should too!! 😆

Biology has always been infamous among students — an overwhelming amount of content that seems impossible to memorise, along with the notoriously time-pressured Paper 2 component. These were exactly the struggles I faced before joining Phoebe’s classes. Phoebe has her own set of answering techniques that directly tackle what most students find challenging, making question analysis much more efficient during exams. Phoebe’s summary sheets were also incredibly helpful for last-minute revision before A-Levels (love the illustrations!! 🥰). Phoebe’s dedication to her students — like replying to my messages at 2 or 3 AM 😭 — and her ability to come up with unique analogies made concepts so much easier to understand (not to mention the crazy welfare every week before A-Levels). Joining Phoebe’s classes was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made — where else can you find such dedicated and funny teachers?! 😡😡

Before joining Phoebe’s classes, biology was probably my most hated subject 😭. I didn’t know how to properly study for it, so it always felt like wasted effort studying for bio. Since I joined quite late (literally like 1.5 months before As), Phoebe stayed back after lessons just so I would have everything I needed to study well. Phoebe also arranged many extra lessons to recap older topics and go through different question types, which I found super beneficial. Under Phoebe’s guidance, I finally learnt how to study for bio correctly, as JC bio required a lot more application and practice in order to do well. I’m super glad I joined Phoebe’s classes — I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I did without her help ❤️!!!

Bio is a subject that is so enjoyable yet so daunting to study, as it just looks like mountains of content that you have to swallow and regurgitate during exams. However, joining Phoebe’s classes made it much easier to grasp content with the notes and lessons! Phoebe’s notes are super bomb.com in how she simplifies content and makes it much easier to digest and understand. Her breaking down of question types also allowed me to strategically identify and answer them in exams. She’s also a super cool and chill teacher — 10000% recommend! I think it’s also extra heartwarming to be in an environment where Phoebe genuinely cares and is always there for you, with multiple 12-hour standby Zoom sessions on the eve of exams, which is when peak anxiety starts to form.

Phoebe’s classes are awesome!! Phoebe provides very clear and concise notes for every chapter in the syllabus that can easily replace school notes. She also goes out of her way to hold extra lessons so that every student is able to keep on task with school assignments and exams. Most importantly, Phoebe has been unrelentingly supportive in answering whatever queries I had, with detail and super promptly. The lesson structure was tailored to fit our needs, such as focusing on answering techniques during A-Level season. On top of all of these, Phoebe has a bright and radiant personality, keeping lessons fun and engaging!! She managed to turn tuition (which I used to dread) into something I looked forward to — Phoebe’s classes were a fun and amazing experience overall!!

Before I joined Phoebe’s classes, I didn’t know how to study for my bio tests. I kept re-reading my school’s notes but continued to fail, without understanding what I was doing wrong. That’s when I decided to join Phoebe’s classes. The lessons were clear and easy to understand, which was especially important since I joined close to A-Levels and needed to grasp key concepts quickly. Phoebe broke down answering formats for different question types and highlighted the essential keywords needed. The lessons taught me how to answer concisely, and I’m so happy to have achieved an A for A-Levels. I’d definitely recommend Phoebe’s classes to my friends — not only is the learning environment wholesome and supportive, but the lessons also provide crucial tips to help you ace your exams.

Phoebe’s classes saved my grades fr 🙌🙌🙌. I joined at the start due to panic upon seeing my first grade in JC where I got U. Seeing many of my friends joining, I also decided to give it a shot — and I don’t regret it!! Phoebe’s classes impacted me a lot. Frequent lessons and consultations with Phoebe were always available during stressful exam times or even normal school days, allowing me to clear all my doubts. As A-Levels approached, Phoebe put in extra effort to make sure everyone understood all the important concepts, even staying back late at night for us to ask questions, which I’m very grateful for. This pushed me to do better, and I secured my A 🧪🧪 all thanks to Phoebe 🥹🥹🥹.
