Should I attend tuition for faster academic improvements?

pilley SG

what about maths/a maths?
how do you actually grasp the knowledge?
or sciences like bio,chemistry or even physics?
i cant seemed to study them well.
must you really practise on tys as though its some kind of holy bible to do well?

I grasp maths by spotting patterns. Just show me how its done, and I'll do it. Laughing The rest is by reading widely and common sense. Yes, you want to ace in o levels, do TYS till you know it like the back of your hand. I regret not doing so and end up with all Bs.

For Maths, do more PRACTICE. TYS often helps quite alot... It's one of the BASICs.... To SCORE, have a GOOD UNDERSTANDING of your FORMULAS and how they work...

For SCIENCES, REMEMBER and UNDERSTAND your FACTS well... Know what points are 'SCORERS'... If you can find 'GOOD BOOKS', often can HELP ALOT... TYS are ok but don't weigh as much as for MATHS...

Math is mostly about concept grasping and application. This comes with practice and understanding and the good thing is, you can actually employ a tutor to help you with the understanding if you feel that you cannot grasp them by yourself.

On the other hand, it's harder to get help with language because a lot of it is about interest and innate talent. Confused

Well thank you for your kind suggestion.

I am not a A maths student because in the exam then it is unfortunate that I did not score enuff for a maths and can only settle for design and tech.......

Maths.....now quite ok needing improvements.

for any language, it's a matter of using the language...

incorporate english into ur daily life... communicate with ur classmates/friends in english... although it will be difficult at first as the tendency is to speak ur mother tongue...

read english books... pick up books of ur personal interest... like if u like buses (if i recall one of ur earlier threads), go library and select such books to kickstart ur reading habits. read newspapers also.

as for maths, there's really only one method. practise & u'll get the hang of it.
