Student’s Testimonials

Ms Lim is understanding and has good knowledge of the common errors and mistakes of students. She is able to explain complex concepts clearly in an interesting manner.

Ms Lim’s passion for teaching chemistry engages any student and encourages them to work hard in chemistry as well.I’ve only been with Ms Lim for a month before A levels had begun. At that time, I was not doing as well as I liked to. I was getting Cs and ads when I should be getting As and Bs. I figured going to a chemistry tuition would help me. After joining Julian Chemistry, I am certain that whatever Ms Lim had taught me in that short time was extremely beneficial. She closed up many of the gaps in my learning, gave many tips to be exam smart, and constantly check in with my learning. In the end, I have gotten A for Chemistry. It was a huge improvement and I could not have done it without Ms Lim.

Ms Lim is very patient and caring, she even gave consultations outside of class time. Thank you so much for your help!

“I first attended Ms Lim’s class with various weak topics and misconceptions, but under Ms Lim’s guidance, I managed to improve by leaps and bounds, receiving an ‘A’ grade in the A’Level examinations despite having failed in school examinations. Ms Lim provides many resources such as handwritten notes and practice worksheets which I have found extremely useful. During lessons, Ms Lim is detailed, patient and thorough with her teaching. She breaks down complex concepts and challenging questions into simple digest-able information to help me learn better.”

Furthermore, she ensures that the concepts taught have been fully understood and is quick to clarify misconceptions and rectify mistakes. She is also dedicated as she takes time to mark all submitted work and go through the mistakes made. She pays attention to my weaknesses and needs such that the learning feels personalised.

Lessons with Ms Lim are never dull as she is engaging and makes the seemingly dry subject of chemistry interesting. Chemistry became an enjoyable subject to study and learn. My huge improvement is a testament to Ms Lim’s tutoring skills. I highly recommend Ms Lim as a tutor.

“Ms Lim is one of the most dedicated teachers I have ever met. Her passion for teaching is unsurpassed. She always offered to mark my work and added loads of comments to ensure that I got the right concepts as well as numerous tips and tricks to increase my efficiency in answering questions.”

She even helped handwrite a summary on all the important points for each of the topics for me in a short span of time of a few days to help me study 'smart'. If this does not display her dedication to helping her students score well, I don't know what does. Any student would be blessed to have her as their chemistry tutor.

“I came to Ms Lim as a private candidate retaking my A-Levels. The support that she gave me during my few months with her was invaluable and extremely helpful in helping me score A for H2 Chemistry. She made and shared with her students notes on how to answer the different question types organised by individual concepts for every chapter, which was incredibly useful for revision just before each Chem paper.”

She clarified my doubts well with visual techniques and helped me to close most, if not all, of my gaps in Chem to the extent that I felt confident in Chem and actually started liking Chem. She also created a study schedule for me for Chem and gave great tips for the Practical component and time management for papers, which was of immense value to me as a private candidate without regular school exams. Other than being an extremely competent Chemistry tutor, she was also very encouraging and friendly which made me look forward to our Chemistry lesson every week. Thanks for helping me see Chemistry through a new lens! :)

“I have always been weak in chemistry. During my 2 years in AJC, I struggled to pass my chemistry tests even after I have tried my best to memorise my notes many times over. In the end, I got a D (chemistry) for my A levels. Refusing to give up, I decided to retake my A levels chemistry exam again as a private candidate, this time with the recommended help of Ms Lim. I feel so much more confident for my paper and I give all the credit to my chemistry tutor.”

Upon realising just how weak my foundation knowledge in chemistry was during the first lesson, Ms Lim gave me simple advice on how to approach the subject effectively and she patiently guided me through all the basic concepts. There was so much that I didn't know and I am glad Ms Lim was there to help me identify and solve my many issues and misconceptions. I appreciate how her vast experience in teaching chemistry allows her to make difficult and (initially) intimidating concepts so much easier for me to digest. She would also often alert me on the commonly made errors her students had made in the past so that I will not commit the same mistakes. As a student, I find that this truly accelerated my learning and deepened my understanding of the subject.

She never fails to thoroughly check the work that I give her and return them to me riddled with red ink telling me exactly how I can improve my answers to score better during my actual exams. By the time my chemistry exam came, I felt more confident than I have ever felt before. As an ex-student of hers, I strongly recommend her as a chemistry tutor!

“Ms Lim is a highly dedicated teacher who will go above and beyond the responsibilities required of a teacher. She puts in tremendous effort into guiding and teaching me and never stops pushing me forward even when I was unconfident and demotivated. She was also very patient and did not mind giving me recaps on chapters that I did not fully understand or even forgotten.”

She would also mark practice papers that I had done sacrificing her own free time so she would be able to go through and helped improved on areas I was weak on or help clear up any misconception I had by the time I came. She took her time to write an extremely comprehensive summary as well as a checklist which helped me greatly before my 'A' Levels as it enabled me to study smarter. Thanks to her clear explanations, which helped made intimidating concepts easier to understand, as well as her vast experiences which helped her to identify my weak points and common mistakes, I was able to achieve a 'B' - a huge improvement from the 'S' grade I had gotten in Prelims. I am extremely thankful for her help as without it, I am sure I would not have been able to grasp the difficult concepts in time for my A Levels and would definitely not have done as well. I highly recommend her as a Chemistry tutor!
