Testimonials of Mr Donnell Koh | Testimonials of Dr Doreen Teo
I cherished the tuition opportunity that I had in preparation for the GCE
A Levels Examination. Tuition had helped to reinforce the concepts that
were being taught in school, and this enhanced my learning process. I
especially valued the numerous A Level Past Exam papers and practices
given by Dr Teo, as they were instrumental in preparing me for the
examinations. More importantly, Dr Teo was very nurturing and patient
in her teaching. She was clear and concise in her explanations, and
would always prepare her lessons well. Dr Teo was also readily
available for consultation whenever I had doubts. Her teaching style
catered to my learning needs, and that made my tuition experience very
worthwhile and enjoyable.

I would like to thank Dr Doreen Teo for guiding me in Chemistry
throughout my JC years. I am a slow learner and could not really catch
up with the pace of teaching in school. Luckily, I was recommended to
Dr Teo while in the search of a tutor. She was really patient and did
not mind going through concepts over and over again till i got them,
answering all the questions I had, sometimes overrunning the
lesson time in the process. Her utmost dedication towards making sure
that I grasp the subject well was what touched me most. Dr Teo is a
very knowledgable teacher who knew her work well, not only in my A
Levels H2 Chemistry, but also my H3 syllabus. My A for H2 and
Merit for H3 are really the fruits of her labour and I am really happy
and fortunate to have her as a tutor. Thank you Dr Teo, you are really
awesome!(:

Dr Teo has been an excellent chemistry teacher throughout my A level
preparation. She consistently drilled me in the chemistry concepts and
cleared my many misconceptions. Furthermore, she never gives up on her
student and would always strive to encourage me when I was lost and
out. Thank you for being such an excellent teacher, a mentor and a
friend.

Before I joined Dr Teo’s tuition classes, Chemistry was one big
confusing mess to me. I remember not doing well in both minor and major
exams during my JC1 year - I felt as though my Chemistry would be
unsalvageable. But after I enrolled in classes late in my JC2 year, I
saw improvement that was apparent and immediate. Core concepts became
clearer to me and that really boosted my confidence in the subject. Dr
Teo’s precise, detailed and personalized teaching style is
effective and helped me tackle difficult topics in a short amount of
time. Moreover, Dr Teo ensured that I understood the ideas and theories
behind the questions in practice papers instead of just memorizing what
was in the textbook. This was a great help when it came to overcoming
challenging questions I encountered during my ‘A’ levels.

Dr Teo is a very attentive teacher who cares for the well-being of
her students. Even on the eve of my Chemistry examination, she never
fails to go the extra mile and answer my questions promptly, helping me
to clear my doubts and show care and concern by gently reminding me to
stay calm for the paper. Under her guidance, I have gained so much
newfound knowledge for Chemistry, and developed a stronger interest for
the subject, inspiring me to work harder and improve my Chemistry
results. Dr Teo always uses innovative methods to simplify complex
Chemistry concepts for her students to better understand the basic
principles, so that we are able to avoid common mistakes made by
others. She is also a very friendly and amicable mentor who never fails
to engage me in the learning process, making every tuition session
enjoyable. It has definitely been a rewarding and enriching experience
to learn under Dr Teo.
