“Gordon had been failing Math since P4 with marks around 40s. There were many basic concepts that he could not master. He was disinterested in Math and was extremely difficult to get him to concentrate on the subject. He would take hours sometimes just to complete 5 sums or so. He was also easily bored and had difficulty focusing in class as the teachers were teaching “above” his level.

After putting him in Norman Tien Mathematics programmes, it took about 5 months or so before I saw a glimmer of hope but he was at least interested in attending the classes which was much more than I could ask for.

Norman Tien Mathematics programme is very different from other tuitions. Gordon received much encouragement from his tutors and they were able to sustain his interest. I know they tried very hard as Gordon has special needs and has ADD symptoms. We literally ploughed through the 7 months and I could see him handling some of the sums which he never was able to. What was interesting was that the method used by Norman Tien Mathematics were captivating plus lots of humour thrown in.. He remembered the “stories” behind the concepts. His school teacher said he was showing improvement and some of the methods really work for him.

Naturally I was thrilled although I was apprehensive about him finishing the exam paper as Gordon struggled with time management. My son eventually got a B for math in the recent PSLE, something which I never expected, judging from his past exam marks.“
