What our students say
"My foundation for chemistry wasn’t very good for O levels, and I knew I needed more guidance and help to grasp new concepts in A level chemistry. I attended a few of Ryan’s trial lessons at Zenith, and I really enjoyed his teaching style as it was easy to follow and not overwhelming.During lessons, Ryan constantly checks our understanding of the topics and readily offers to stay behind after class to help any student who might need extra help. He is a very approachable teacher, which made it easy for me to ask questions, clarify doubts, or even seek advice whenever I needed help.Ryan emphasizes the important keywords and answering techniques for chemistry, and thanks to him, my tutorials became much more manageable and I was able to confidently answer questions during class. His lessons were always enjoyable, and his (bad) chemistry jokes made learning the subject a lot more fun.I went from feeling completely lost in all my chemistry lessons in secondary school to consistently getting As in my chemistry exams. I’m very thankful for his support throughout the journey and would definitely recommend his lessons to any student looking to strengthen their understanding of chemistry."
- Kelly Poon, Grade A, Class of 2025
"I used to struggle a lot with my answering techniques for chem which caused me to score less even after memorising all the content. Ryan’s approach of highlighting the keywords and how to analyse each question type helped me out the most. Nearing A Levels the time trial sessions also helped me really manage my time and build my confidence! At the end I managed to get a B which is a huge improvement from my previous U grade and it surpassed my own expectations also, all thanks to Ryan!"

"Earlier in J1, I was met with an unfortunate circumstance of having to undergo surgery on my knee due to an injury. As such, my foundation in the key ideas and concepts in Chem took a sizable hit, to the point that I struggled with promotion in J1, which was when I decided to join Ryan at Zenith in hopes of catching up with my work. The cheat sheets, online resources, and passionate teachers (my 🐐 Ryan) were what helped solidify my understanding of the concepts and filled in the gaps that tutors in school couldn't quite address. Throughout my JC life, I had never scored an RP higher than 50, nor anything higher than a C for Chem. With Zenith, I clutched an A for Chem, with a 66.25 RP along with it. I couldn't have done it without the help, and I'm really thankful for the support 🥶"
- Rayden Lau, C to A, Class of 2025
"Before joining Zenith Chem 2 months before A Levels, I felt very unprepared and struggled to understand certain concepts, especially from organic chemistry, which made me worried about whether I could score an A for Chemistry. When I started, they began giving out tests and going through them every week, which was really helpful as it forced me to stay consistent with my chemistry revision. With Ryan, he honestly made understanding and memorising organic chemistry so much easier with his tips and tricks. As a result, I felt so much more confident and prepared for the chemistry paper and managed to secure an A, which was a jump from a borderline B in my prelims. I would say that it is not about when you start tuition, but how effectively you use the time to lock in and focus on improving so that you can secure the A that you want for Chemistry."
- Jayden Neo, Grade A, Class of 2025
"I was really struggling with the mental aspect of tackling A levels especially with H2 Chemistry. During lessons, Ryan really engaged us in the concepts by frequently asking us questions to test our understanding as well as learn from other student’s mistakes. I can definitely say that at the end of 2 years of tutoring under Ryan, my confidence in chemistry had definitely increased progressively. With consistent efforts during lessons, I managed to maintain my chemistry grade at an A/B range throughout jc, and finally clinched the A for the A levels at the end."
- Balasubramanian Aaditya, Grade A, Class of 2025
"I was struggling to understand the content. What helped the most was Ryan explaining challenging concepts in a way that was easy to understand and remember, and the extra practices allowed me to apply what I had learned in my own time. My understanding and grades definitely improved after joining Zenith, and I never thought that I would have been able to improve so much in Chemistry."
- Haley Chan, D to A, Class of 2025
"Zenith played an integral role in my A-Level success. The structured lessons, extra practice sets, and intensive revision sessions helped break down complex concepts and made me feel ahead in school. Ryan's teaching made Chemistry much more manageable and even enjoyable, and he was always quick to respond to questions and motivate us when things got tough."
- Shlok Shilvant, Grade A, Class of 2025
"when i first entered ryan’s class, i treated chemistry as an ordinary subject, studying the bare minimum and simply aiming to clinch an ‘A’ grade and thinking nothing more of it. however, throughout the course of the year i was with ryan, his intrinsic attention to detail as well as his patience and understanding made learning complex concepts a whole lot easier. furthermore, he always comes prepared and utilises his various teaching techniques such as witty acronyms and memorable stories that are very effective in helping us remember key terms and answering techniques so as to not only be familiar with the structure and techniques of answering questions, but to also truly understand and grasp the concepts of chemistry. ryan not only excels at teaching syllabus, but he also makes learning chemistry fun and enjoyable, inciting me, amongst many other of his students to take up a greater curiosity and to have the willingness to learn more. moreover, he is an extremely friendly tutor that takes the initiative to go a step further and form relationships with his students, treating them like friends of his own, thereby reducing the stresses of tuition as a whole, and all in all making it a more relaxed and productive learning environment."

"ryan is an extremely patient and approachable tutor! during lessons, he would always ensure everyone understood the challenging chemistry concepts. he would also extend additional support to us outside of regular lessons to help with any difficulties we had faced whilst learning chemistry! :)"
- Natasha Tan, 2023
"Ryan is very helpful and concise in explaining concepts! I like his lesson structure of going through concepts + sample questions. It didn’t feel too overwhelming and made understanding and retaining Chemistry a lot easier. The extra practices and consultations he provided outside of lesson time made me much more confident for As :)"
- Inez Toh, 2023
"Zenith lessons helped me consolidate and reinforce my learning, and their well-organised and concise notes allowed me to understand concepts more clearly. On top of that, Ryan took the time to arrange for countless consults with me, and never hesitated to clarify my doubts. He made the effort to get to know his students personally, provided tailored help to each of us, and always encouraged us to keep trying our best. Over the 1.5 years, my Chemistry improved slowly but steadily thanks to the consistent drilling from Zenith, and I’m glad to have eventually done well for Chemistry at A Levels!"
- Taniel Lee, 2023
"I liked how Ryan’s classes are very interactive as he asks us questions to refresh our content while also checking in with our welfare and mental health. He also makes the atmosphere very casual by being very conversational and bringing in his corny jokes. It made the lesson more comfortable to go to and clarify my doubts."
