National Junior College (NJC)  Year 2018

Mr Roland helped me tremendously in my GP journey towards A levels. For the whole of my first year in JC, my GP grades were a consistent E. Despite my school's remedial programmes, my grades did not seem to be improving. Through the recommendation from my friend's mother, I enrolled under Mr Roland's tuition. From then on, my grades in GP steadily improved. At the end of As, I ended up scoring a B which was surprising, considering the huge jump from E to B. As we all know, GP is very subjective to mark and Mr Roland understood that. He was patient and knowledgeable in various GP topics, encouraging me to explore the topics I am interested in. He gave me ample amount of content and vocabulary for the essay components, as well as the necessary skills needed to tackle the comprehension component. I was particularly weak in my essays in terms of finding the right content and using appropriate vocabulary. From the first few lessons, Mr Roland identified my strengths in certain topics and told me to focus on these few topics. He helped me hone my diction and content for the topics that I am particularly good in. This helped me gain confidence in essay writing which translated to better marks in my essays.
