Tutoring Methods / Style
From attending my lessons, the students will learn how to:
(a) Which targeted topics to focus on.
(b) Connect different concepts and connect them together (Even from different subjects! Learn how to study subjects holistically instead of on a subject-by-subject basis),
(c) Master answering methods and techniques in exercises and past year questions,
(d) Recognize patterns/recurring questions that can appear in the actual yearly test.
