      One of my students failed Maths from Sec 3 to Sec 4 (have never passed a single test or exam), but with constant effort and self-motivation managed to get A2 for E Maths at O level. The level of self-motivation was so high that he even requested for extra homework by himself, not by the parent. (Very few students will do that.) Currently doing well in JC.

      Such stories give me hope for my son. 🙏

      I am glad the story is helpful and gives you hope!

      Some other inspiring stories include students who are very strong in Humanities (right-brainers) who somehow don't do well in Maths. They are hardworking and with the right guidance are able to do as well as other students in Maths, even though they are not \"naturals\" in the subject.

      I do have one student, who is naturally strong in languages and humanities, but weak in maths. Almost forced to drop A Maths in school in Secondary 3, but passed the retest. With guidance and motivated practice on his part, he was one of the few who passed the A Maths Sec 4 Midyear in his class. (Students familiar with the current system will know how few people actually pass the A Maths Midyear Exam in Secondary 4)

      Just need to study the correct way with Maths, and practice with understanding. \"Never give up\" is the motto.

        I think the tutor can use different methods to explain to him how to do the questions.If he does not understand,request for another explanation. 😄

                Hi


                Can anyone point me in the direction of online higher order questions and answers in mean, mode, median and probability. Here in the UK it is done at P4 but not many good resources on it.

                      I need to find help for my niece. She failed her A Maths

                      . Now in Sec 3. Probably a mismatch of tutor so we thought of finding her a new tutor. Northeast, east or central would be great. Wkend class only. Anyone can help to recommend?

                        My mom made me practice for 2 hours everyday…sometimes 4 hours over the whole day. Concept is important.
