What our students say
"Jia Yi made Chemistry more fun and easier to understand, which was especially helpful after the huge leap from secondary school to JC. He is approachable and always willing to help. Having Jia Yi throughout my Chemistry journey in JC definitely helped me improve and enjoy the subject more. With his guidance, I managed to improve from a D in J1 to eventually achieving an A at A Levels."
- Keely, D to A, RI
"When I first entered JC, I struggled with H2 Chemistry and achieved sub-par results for my first Chemistry Lecture Test in J1. I decided to join Jia Yi’s Chemistry class at Marymount and stayed on until the end of the A-Levels. Jia Yi is probably one of the best tutors I've ever had. He's extremely knowledgeable about the H2 Chemistry syllabus, as demonstrated by the chemistry guidebook he authored, which compiles all the RnCs and other essential information that greatly supported my exam preparation. Another great thing is that he is easily contactable via WhatsApp and usually responds very quickly, which I found immensely helpful whenever I had questions or doubts to clarify.With the help from Zenith and Jia Yi, I was ultimately able to score an A in the A-Levels"
- Yi Xian, Grade A, ASRJC
"I joined Jia Yi’s class at the start of Sec 4, when I was scoring Bs and Cs for Chemistry. Jia Yi is extremely patient, he always takes the time to explain concepts clearly before moving on. During lessons, he asks questions to ensure we are following along and that we truly understand the content, helping to reinforce our learning. Outside of class, he is also very responsive and replies to questions I may have regarding the subject very quickly, regardless of the time. The support and guidance he provided greatly improved my confidence and understanding of the Chemistry subject, which was reflected in my O-Level results."
- Shermay Lee, A2, Class of 2025
"I joined Jia Yi’s classes after attending his trial class, where I realised the support provided by him was sufficient in helping me address my weaknesses in Chemistry. Jia Yi explained concepts clearly and patiently during lessons, allowing me to be able to understand the subject much better. He provided many past year papers for us to practice during lessons, reviewing them immediately afterwards. I found this method very effective as it helped me to identify my mistakes and learn from them quickly. Jia Yi was also very responsive and replied promptly whenever I had questions. With his guidance, I was able to jump five grades."
- Woo Ling Hui, A2, Class of 2025
"Ever since I joined Jia Yi’s classes, I became more interested in Chemistry. I used to struggle with specific concepts which affected my overall understanding of the subject. However, Jia Yi made the effort to continue consultations outside of lessons, which greatly improved my learning. The lesson materials provided in class were also well-structured and easy to understand. I improved from a C in Secondary 3 to an A2 in my O-Levels."
- Mieka Tan, C to A2, Class of 2025
"After joining Jia Yi’s class, I went from failing Chemistry to achieving an A1 in my O-Level exams. Jia Yi was always willing to answer my questions during lessons and would even stay back after class to help me understand more difficult concepts. Jia Yi breaks down topics into bite-sized and more easily understandable pieces, making them much easier to remember."
- Rachel Lee, F9 to A1, Class of 2025
"I joined Jia Yi's class in Sec 4 and he quickly helped me rebuild and strengthen my foundation in the Chemistry subject. He actively asked questions and regularly checked in on our understanding during class. Jia Yi is very patient and attentive to his students. Outside of class, he responded to questions very quickly and guided me towards finding the answers myself. Through this process, I gradually gained confidence in Chemistry and it eventually became my favourite subject. As the O-Levels approached, he also provided countless practice questions and highlighted key points that were extremely useful. I improved by six grades from when I first started tuition with him, an achievement I never thought was possible!"
- Peiqi, A2, Class of 2025
"I remember scoring a C5 for my WA2 in Sec 3 before joining Jia Yi’s class. After joining his lessons, I was able to improve from a C5 to an A1 in my subsequent weighted exam and have consistently scored A1 in all my exams since, including my O-Levels. Jia Yi’s classes are both interactive and effective. He focuses on building strong fundamentals before drilling us with plenty of practice questions in preparation for the different questions the exam might test. Thanks to Jia Yi's guidance, I became much more confident in Chemistry and am very grateful to have been taught by him."
- Nicole Tan, C5 to A1, Class of 2025
"I was struggling with Pure Chemistry and decided to join Jia Yi’s classes. With his guidance and patience, he helped me to understand concepts more clearly and apply them effectively in my exams. Over the past five months of being in his class, my Chemistry grade improved from a C5 to an A2 in my O-Levels. Jia Yi has definitely boosted my confidence in Chemistry through his engaging and enjoyable lessons."
- Janice Lam, C5 to A2, Class of 2025
"Ever since joining TJY, our chemistry has improved alot. On normal days and also exam seasons, he will always reply asap to our questions and patiently explain to us what the question wants."
- Dione Bong, O-Level Science Chemistry A1, Swiss Cottage Secondary School
"Thanks to my awesome tutor TJY, I was able to score decently for my Os! I joined his tuition in late Sec 2, and my Chemistry has improved tremendously since then. He also replies to messages promptly, which helps a lot whenever I get stuck on questions or concepts back at home. TJY also goes the extra mile to source for additional papers for us to practice with. Most importantly, I find his lessons enlightening and enjoyable!"
- Jensine Lim, O-Level Science Chemistry A1, Swiss Cottage Secondary School
"TJY has definitely helped me to improve my chemistry in sec 4! Ever since joining his lessons after I failed chem earlier in the year, I find myself being able to understand once challenging chapters, and even enjoying the subject as a whole. He explains concepts clearly and also provides my class with many useful notes, resources and exam papers to practice with, which we can then ask questions to clear any doubts that we have. All in all, his classes are enriching and have certainly benefitted me!"
- Hannah Tan, O-Level Science Chemistry A2, Swiss Cottage Secondary School
"I joined Jia Yi's Chemistry lessons since J1 and I really enjoyed every lesson as he would simplify the concepts to ensure that we understood them. He will always stay back after class to clarify my doubts and will constantly ensure that we were prepared for each test and exam. Throughout my 2 years in JC, I scored well in my exams and I am grateful for his guidance."
- Noelle Tan, A, TMJC
"I joined Mr Tan's chemistry lesson because I was struggling with stochiometry. I also heard from many people that he was an extremely capable teacher. I was not disappointed, Mr Tan made heavy contents digestible with his easy to remember notes that were organized. Moreover, he would stay back to help go through concepts with us as well as give us more practices to enhance our answering skills. I went from a B3 in chem in Y3 to an A1 in O level"
- Ioan Lim, O-Level Science Chemistry A1, ACSI
"Joining Mr Tan's Chemistry tuition in J2 was one of the best decisions I made in preparation for the A levels. Every lesson with Mr Tan felt comfortable and stress-free, not only because he is a brilliant and easy to understand tutor, but also because of his welcoming and friendly nature. Through the many tuition sessions with Mr Tan, I was able to build my confidence in Chemistry over the year and did well in my A level Chemistry exams, I am truly grateful to have been taught by him."
