Teacher Ruth is always propelling me towards accomplishing more and I had miraculously completed Sec 4 syllabuses in both E.Maths and A.Maths when I was still in Sec 3 last year. By Sec 4 term 1, I am already finishing all the TYS exam papers, getting ready for my O Levels instead! My parents are so amazed and impressed because most Sec 4 students are still struggling through the new topics in term 1! I know I wouldn’t have such accelerated progress if I hadn’t Ms Ruth’s dedication in teaching me Maths since I was in P2! Ms Ruth has helped me to be consistent and be the top in school and even ahead of my peers! 

~ Elizabeth Low, Sec 4 CHIJ 2025


This is the first time that Reagen scored 24/25 in Sec 1, highest in his class. He was so happy and his confidence for math has boosted! He always failed his math in the past. We are so glad we have engaged teacher Ruth to tutor our son. She has a lot of patience although my son was not a fast learner. She was recommended by my niece who was also taught by her. Not only is teacher Ruth professional in her tutoring, she is also a loving tutor who cares for her student. 

~ Connie, parent of Reagen, 2025


Ms Ruth has transformed my fear into confidence. I'm very glad I had achieved A1 for my O-Level E.Maths. My grades improved so much from C6 to A1! My A.Maths was also a miracle. I managed to obtain A2 from D7. Ms Ruth was very determined to help me achieve my desire results. Because of her, I managed to go into JC! Thank you Ms Ruth!
