What our students say
"I joined Zenith at the start of J2 as my GP grade started dropping and my essays constantly hovered between Cs and Ds, but I had absolutely no idea what went wrong and how to improve 😭 My tutor Zach made lessons well structured and easy to follow, the writing and answering techniques he taught gave me a clearer sense of how to score better for GP. His lessons were engaging and made the subject less daunting for me, and I started finding GP interesting and enjoyable! Zach was always very approachable and patient whenever I had questions. During my consult with him after prelims, he gave directed and personalised help, with specific techniques to help me break that barrier between the B and A grade. Getting an A for GP in my A levels was unexpected for me but I’m grateful for Zach’s support during my time here at Zenith 💪"
- Tricia, D to A, Class of 2025
"GP felt like an obstacle that wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I tried. I struggled to understand concepts, answer comprehension questions, and failed to unpack essay questions. These struggles slowly faded when I joined Zach’s class. Within a short three months, Zach helped me fully understand answering frameworks for the comprehension paper. His classes were always engaging and informative, as he always thought of ways to present his ideas so that they were easier for us to understand and apply. Not only did I learn how to answer questions, I also acquired the habit of thinking critically and considered different stakeholders, an important skill to have. During the peak exam season, Zach accepted my multiple consultation requests despite his busy schedule. Every consultation session I had with him helped me improve, filling the gaps I had missed out on. Overall, my time at Zenith was a fruitful one. Thanks to the guidance of Zach, I managed to achieve a good result for my General Paper!"
- Harold, E to A, Class of 2025
"Before joining Zenith GP in J2, I was very discouraged by GP in school. I had zero direction or concept of how to write good essays nor how to structure my AQs. However, Zenith provided us with clear structures to follow for our essays, simplifying the thought process for us. This was especially important for me as a science student who has always been comfortable with structured answers. Furthermore, the content covered in Zach’s classes were always interesting, allowing me to look forward to every tuition lesson. After joining Zach’s class, I genuinely started enjoying GP as a subject when I realised I could actually produce good quality essays after much practice. Despite consistently scoring around an S to C for GP, I managed to score an A for A levels, with much help from the Zenith content and Zach’s help! 😊😊🙏🙏🙏"
- Siow Qi En, S to A, Class of 2025
"Throughout my JC life, I’ve always struggled with GP as I’ve never had a flair for the English Language. I joined Zach’s classes in April of JC2. Though the duration I had for tuition was relatively short as most students start early in JC1, I benefited immensely from Zach’s GP lessons. His classes were engaging and helped me to learn GP through structured methods. This really suited me. With this approach and my school’s resources, I managed to gradually improve in my GP skills and eventually attain a better grade for it. Lessons with Zach touch on very recent world happenings, as recent as events that happened in the past week. For a subject that requires understanding of the current world, this is highly relevant and useful."
- Javier, D to A, Class of 2025
"At the start of JC, GP felt like a subject that was almost impossible, which was really discouraging. I wasn’t very familiar with what the different components of the subject required, and the thought of memorising case studies for essays felt quite overwhelming. However, under Zach’s guidance, GP gradually became much less daunting. The techniques he taught us, often explained through simple acronyms that were easy to remember, helped me approach questions with more confidence! The weekly newsletters also helped me build up my example bank, which made it much easier to remember and apply examples in essays.Joining Zenith is definitely something I don’t regret. I’m really grateful for Zach’s guidance, as well as the many enjoyable lessons (and welfare!) along the way. 🫶🏻"
- Shi Qi, D to A, Class of 2025
"I was fortunate to have started and ended my General Paper journey with Zach. While it was a subject I struggled to grasp initially, Zach has been a great source of help. Living and breathing GP, Zach constantly encourages his students to practise critical thinking beyond academic work. His meticulous approach to lessons enabled me to fine tune my techniques to the smallest detail, such as brainstorming and evaluative argumentation. Learning GP with Zach also goes beyond the classroom as he shares social media content that prompts us to form an informed opinion on current issues. Zach is also extremely approachable and humorous. Personally, I vividly remember the many yap sessions we shared over global politics and social issues, where I was able to hear different perspectives. Most importantly, Zach goes above and beyond for his students, answering DMs late into the night and even entertaining a GP consult with me till as late as 11pm! Overall, not only have I gained academic support from Zach, but I have gained a life mentor and developed intellectually in the way I view the world’s affairs. I highly recommend Zach to any juniors who want a uniquely meaningful GP experience!"
- Jonathan, Grade A, Class of 2025
"I never expected a tuition center to have the ability to make a student passionate about learning, but I found myself doing exactly that with Zenith’s GP class. GP itself is objectively a hard subject to learn because it doesn’t have a fixed syllabus. It should be daunting, but my tutor, Zach, made it easy. There’s an indescribable joy in discovering what we would be learning each week, and his pace was just right to ensure conducive learning without losing my interest. His way of teaching is structured, patient, and approachable, making it well-suited for those who may be lost when it comes to GP. I had an amazing time, and I especially enjoyed the snacks and occasional free food from Zach. Thus, I highly recommend trying out Zenith GP—it helped with my grades, yes, but more importantly, it gave me really good memories too."
- He Zhouqi, Grade A, Class of 2025
"From my experience, Zach has been an amazing GP tutor. During his lessons, I can feel his genuine passion for what he teaches, from the way he takes the effort to explain the little details in the notes to how he adds on his own examples to supplement our learning. His detailed comments when marking my work have allowed me to improve greatly. Zach often goes above and beyond, helping me to mark extra essay practices and offering consult sessions nearing A Levels, which helped me greatly and gave me that extra push to get my desired grades for GP."
- Wei Ki, HCI, Class of 2023
"If I were to describe him with 2 words, I believe “knowledgeable” and “brother” would fit the bill nicely. Zach is someone who displays his expertise in GP well through his lessons, guiding students to focus on the most important aspects of GP to score well. His lessons are also enhanced with his charismatic personality, able to personally bond with students from all backgrounds, making each lesson fun and rewarding for students."
- En Shuo, HCI, Class of 2023
"Zach helped me through these 2 years with my General Paper subject. He makes the lessons interesting and exciting by inserting his own personal anecdotes or takes on the topics discussed. He also takes time to cater to the weaker students by adeptly simplifying the language used in some of the passages. This not only helps us understand the passages easily, but also makes us more aware and prepared for the language used in the upcoming national examinations. He makes himself available for consultations if need be. Do not fret if he is your GP tutor for you will be in good hands !"
- Dylan, JPJC, Class of 2023
"Zach is an engaging and personable tutor who takes a genuine interest in his students’ lives. He’s knowledgeable and well-versed in teaching GP, and knows how to communicate the content in a way that’s digestible to us. Basically, Zach is slay ;)"
- Mikayla, JPJC, Class of 2023
"Before joining Zenith, I could not understand how to study for GP and consistently did poorly for exams. However, after attending Zach’s lessons, I started to learn answering technics to phrase my answers better and more coherently. Whenever I had questions, Zach was always willing to patiently explain to me my mistakes, even offering additional consultation.
Initially, a struggle I had was to remember and use relevant and impactful current affairs in my essays. However, with Zenith’s comprehensive and interesting current affairs notes as well as Zach’s engaging teaching style,6 I was finally able to apply concrete examples in my exams."
-Jia Xi, ACJC, Class of 2024
"Since the start of JC, GP was the subject I was the most afraid of as my writing ability was subpar and I struggled to answer comprehension questions accurately. When I attended Zach's lessons, he taught me various ways to structure my essay which helped me improve my writing substantially and equipped me with key answering techniques for tackling comprehension questions. The many essay content packages gave me a wealth of ideas and real-world examples that I could use in my essays. With constant practice and feedback from Zach, my confidence in GP soared. Zenith not only helped improve my grades but also sharpened my critical thinking ability and opened my eyes to the challenges faced by our world."
- Ethan, DHS, Class of 2024
"When I first entered JC, General Paper felt like an insurmountable challenge. Despite pouring in effort during my first semester, I hit a tipping point and knew I needed extra support, so I turned to Zenith. My tutor: Zach—the most patient and engaging tutor ever. He transformed what used to be tedious case study memorization into a bank of hilariously effective examples that made essay-writing so much easier. Even with the new syllabus and daunting exam format, his targeted practices and additional consults helped me clarify misconceptions, refine my thought process, and actually enjoy GP. But Zach didn’t just help with my grades. When I was overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout, he offered a listening ear and unwavering support, reigniting my motivation across all subjects. (Also, psst... he’s super generous with the monthly welfare, so there’s that too 😉) Jokes aside, I’m beyond grateful to Zach for being such a crucial part of my JC journey. If you’re struggling with GP, I highly recommend having him as part of yours too! 💯✨"
- Leora, RI, Class of 2024
"During my first trial lesson at the start of J2, I was surprised by how easily I grasped the answering techniques for GP P2— something I had been struggling with for an entire year. Lesson notes for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 were comprehensive yet easy to understand, and intellectual debates that were always encouraged by my tutor, Zach, expanded my perspective on many local and international issues. Although I faced setbacks in my GP journey, my tutor remained one of my biggest supporters, always offering me in depth, constructive feedback on my work that challenged me to keep moving towards success. Overall, my experience at Zenith helped me grow both academically and personally, thanks to the guidance of Zach who was not just a mentor but also a friend to everyone in my class!"
- Kierei, RI, Class of 2024
"Throughout JC, I was absolutely clueless on how to do well for gp, and my grades were hovering around C grade. However, under the guidance of Zach, I learnt about all the different techniques as well as the content required to do well. Most importantly, this helped developed my confidence in writing. The lessons are super easy to follow and I actually looked forward to going to class. As a very anxious person, I always bombard Zach with questions and he will be awake even at 3 am to answer your questions. I highly recommend Zach if you’re looking for GP tuition as he’s very dedicated and is willing to even out his personal time to host consultations."
