INTRODUCTION: OUR TEACHING PEDAGOGY

90 - 10 EFFORT RULE

BUILDING AN INDEPENDENT LEARNER

It takes 2 hands to clap; mutual effort by both the tutor and student is required to achieve desired grades.

Tutors will put in their utmost effort to guide students in their understanding and mastery of the necessary theories and techniques. However, this is only a mere 10% of the effort that leads to a student's success.

We strongly believe in sustainable learning where students are equipped with the necessary skills to tackle their studies, and in time, become independent learners with outstanding results. To achieve this, we encourage students to take responsibility of their studies and put in the remaining 90% to achieve the desired result. This helps them to attribute their achievement to their efforts and motivate them to strive towards greater heights

GAINING MASTERY

KNOWING VS UNDERSTANDING

The "secret" to achieving outstanding results lies in having our students understand the knowledge gained and apply them to real world contexts or different situations of similar nature. Through our well planned and in-depth curriculum students are able to explore, learn and fully understand the concepts and techniques learnt, and thereafter put them to good use.

CONNECTING THE DOTS

VALUE THEIR LEARNING

By going beyond the textbooks to share on personal experiences or general knowledge, tutors can inspire students to understand the importance of learning and set goals for themselves. These sharing will also help students discover that the learnings they gained will not only impact themselves but also that of others.

Engaging Berwin was the best decision. My child had to close some gaps in math problem sums in P5 year end, was hovering around AL2. Requested for him to help my child achieve his goal of AL1 for math PSLE and they did it in a short 10 months.Throughout the lessons, he made sure that my child is able to understand and explain the concepts, built his mental calculation, taught different methods to solve higher order thinking questions.After every lessons, he would make sure to followup on my child progress and provide valuable feedbacks.Above all, he is a really a passionate educator and go all to help your child not just in education but overall in life.He have learned so much from you! Thank you for pushing, motivation and guidance! 👍😊

I engaged Berwin for Sec 2 Math and Geo tuition a few months before my daughter’s end of year exams. Amazingly she scored A1 for both subjects from an average of C. Berwin was able to identify and improved on her weaknesses.Very responsible and enthusiastic tutor.Highly recommended.

Teacher Berwin is a patient teacher who explains mathematical concepts clearly and on a deep level, he also looks out for my math weaknesses and attempts to tackle and solve them, which made me aware of my common mistakes and helped me improve in these areas. He also tries to make lessons more interesting by putting the questions to real world context, this made lessons more enriching and I definitely learnt a lot!

Berwin is a kind and patient coach who engages unconventional teaching approaches to help students! My daughter was with a few MOE-trained E, A Math tutors before, but did not gain much progress in the subjects. With Berwin, her confidence level in E,A math elevated and this propelled her progress in learning them. Berwin's patience and adaptive teaching approaches enabled my daughter to learn effectively at her pace and discuss her struggles with questions comfortably. This enabled Berwin to help her build stronger math foundations and close any concept gaps, beyond just solving the problem sums. We are thankful that Berwin was a part of her growth and journey in learning Math!

He has guided and taught me a lot during his lessons. Anytime there was any misconceptions or questions, he would take the time to clear it up. His teachings are also clear and easy to understand. After attending his tuition, my grades saw a massive improvement. I'm thankful to have him guide me through my O'levels:)

Berwin is absolute best! I would highly recommend him for any students who needs coaching in their studies.He was teaching my son for a number of years and did a great job, his knowledge of a wide variety of school subjects was immensely helpful towards my son’s success and kept him on track for his PSLE and O Level.He is a very thoughtful, puts a lot of effort into how he prepares the material, great teaching methods, very clear and concise.Lessons were conducted in a very engaging environment, his tips and technics in solving problems are useful.We can’t say enough good things about him.

Definitely a gem tutor! Berwin has taught 3 of my kids so far.. One has completed O levels and currently pursuing diploma. Under his guidance, 2 out of 3 kids have received best in progress awards before!Besides academic guidance (which Berwin is already doing an excellent job), he often goes beyond the mile by also giving my children advice on how to better manage their time/work. After every lesson, he makes time to brief me how my kids have done and also gives suggestions on how i can support them in their learning. This is something I don't see in other tutors whom I have engaged in the past.For my #1's poly course selection, or #2's sec 1 sch selection, Berwin has been very generous in sharing knowledge and guidance although it wasn't his scope.. Thank you Berwin for your passion and dedication in teaching!

Teacher berwin has his own way of teaching where he approaches u like a friend which made lessons more fun. His lessons were also well planned and engaging. I really enjoyed every lesson I had. He also explains concepts patiently whenever i struggled to catch it.Teacher berwin has also been really kind and patient in guiding me not only in academic ways but also life skills. For example how to shift my focus on doing stuff that i'm more skilled in as to serve as a motivation to do other things that i struggle with. This has helped me in sorting out my priorities in poly.

Berwin is patient and constantly adjusted his teaching methods to suit my learning style and challenges. He often helped expose my fundamental errors and was able to pinpoint the root of my problems, so that we could adopt a targeted approach towards my improvement in mathematics. He also provided me with many challenges and problems to test my skills, ensuring that I understood how to solve questions of that type. His lists of compiled questions for each topic are based on current exam trends and have helped me grasp the techniques of solving them.
