“Before joining Norman Tien Mathematics, Caleb had always been very careless in his work. He cannot focus and has short attention span. His marks are always around 70+ to 82.

After a 10-day intensive training, his focus was still not there but he has acquired the techniques of countering his carelessness. He has to be reminded to apply the techniques and, as parents, we worked with him consistently. He went through the 10-day intensive training in the beginning of Primary 5 and by the end of Primary 5 he started achieving results. He scored 94 for his prelim.

Ever since he joined Norman Tien Mathematics, Caleb becomes more confident in himself. He starts to like Math and always wants to go for the tuition. He loves Norman’s jokes and the way he brings out the concepts to them. It was so much easier to understand. Besides enjoying the fun in the class, his mental calculation has improved. His teacher even commented that Caleb has begun to put more attention and thought to his Math work.

As parents, we are happy to know that he is able to perform and most important is that he loves Math and is confident about himself.“

“Hannan managed to achieve a B grade.

We are pleased that he was able to achieve such a result in consideration that he had been struggling to pass his SA1 and Prelim papers.

We are very thankful to Norman and your team of tutors for the great encouragement and challenges given to Hannan to help him grow with confidence and self-esteem. And of course, the interesting techniques learnt.

Once again, THANK YOU.“

“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.“
