Has Your Child Realized his Potential?

Ai Ling — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:59:10 +0000

For the past few days, I saw many students with their parents walking out of schools with their report books. It’s the Meet-the-Parents sessions after the mid-year exams.

How did your child perform?

In any case, give him the credit for putting the effort regardless of how little or how much the amount. We must acknowledge studying is a stressful process in Singapore.

Given the amount of time students spend in their CCAs and outside school activities, many don’t have much time and even energy left for their self-study. This is certainly not an excuse for them to under perform.

And come this June holidays, they should have more time for their self-study but many students might have no idea how to start or simply lack the motivation to start their revision.

I’m here to help!

For the 5th year running, I’m conducting the O-Level June Intensive Revision Workshops to build students’ confidence and understanding on a topic by topic basis.

Being focused is the key to effective revision this June and we have proven it year after year to have worked out well for our students.

Visit our website to find out how your child can benefit from our Intensive Revision Workshops this June Holidays!

Call us at 9828 7357 to speak to us too!

I look forward to helping your child to realize his potential this June Holidays!

E-Maths: Problems on Compound Interest

Ai Ling — Wed, 09 May 2012 06:54:07 +0000

Formula to calculate total amount in a compound interest question is provided in GCE O-Level E-Maths examinations so students don’t have to memorise.

It is therefore important for students to know how to use the compound interest formula.

Notice in these two questions, the frequency of compounding affects the value of r and n so it affects the total amount as well.

I always share with my students to put themselves in the shoes of a banker who helps their client to grow their money. The frequency of compounding is just like the frequency they meet their client and at each meeting they need to inform how much rate their money has grown based on the frequency of compound.
