I have recently graduated from
Raffles Junior College and would like to give tuition to JC1/JC2
students (or the IB equivalent).
Let me now introduce myself a
little:
I was in the Gifted Education
Programme from 2000-2006.
Formerly from Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary), I won the Raffles
Top Scholars Award for Excellence in Academic Performance and the
Guthrie and Shaw Scholarship for the top student in mathematics and
science in 2006. I have consistently been getting As for math and
science, even in the 91-100 range in junior college. I have made
the dean's list for Knowledge & Inquiry, H2 Mathematics, H2
Economics and H2 Physics (for the top 5% of students) in Raffles
Junior College. For every major exam, one of my Knowledge &
Inquiry essays would always be photocopied for distribution as a
sample essay. I was part of the national training teams for the
International Math and Physics Olympiads. In Raffles Junior
College, I won the JC1 Promotion Examination Academic Excellence
Award and the Special Scholarship donated by 1965 RI Pre-U 2
Science B Class, the latter of which was awarded to the top student
in Science stream not in receipt of a scholarship (I was not
eligible for scholarships because of my subject combination of two
sciences and two humanities. I was therefore pleasantly surprised
that the school had considered me for such a prestigious Science
stream award.). I took 2 H3s in junior college – H3 Math (MOE
syllabus) and H3 Economics (Game Theory at Singapore Management
University).
I hold conditional offers to read Economics at Cambridge
University, Mathematics with Economics at University College London
(UCL) and Financial Economics at St. Andrew’s, starting in
September ‘09.
