Students Say...

I was really bad at Maths all the way until sec 2. Only in sec 3 then I decided to seek help and attended Miss Toh's Maths classes at Marymount. She was patient with me because of my weak foundation. She will explain concepts and my doubts slowly and clearly until I could understand. With only 4 lessons before my Mid Year exam, I managed to PASS my Maths exam for the FIRST TIME in secondary school! From then on, I made steady improvement and got A for my year end exam. Thanks Miss Toh!

Jonathon (St Andrew's School)

Hi Miss Toh, I would like to say THANK YOU for all the help you have rendered to helping me achieving my ALL A1 target in O Levels. :p It was always a joy to attend your class. You make Math so easy to understand and fun to solve all those challenging questions from The Maths Cafe. The small test every week is also very helpful to help us gauge where we stand in major exam. The colorful summary is concise and handy when we do revision.  Thank you for making this journey so much easier.

Fabiana Low (Crescent Girls' School)

I was averaging around a B grade since sec 3. I was never able to hit the 70 mark. With only 5 months to O level, I decided to seek help from The Maths Cafe. I was recommended to Miss Toh by my friend from another school. Miss Toh's short cut method and concise summary of all the topics is really useful during my revision. It makes the concepts easier to digest. And it is also extremely helpful when we were doing drilling of the many many challenging exam papers (be it from school or from The Maths Cafe; it was a total madness!!). It saves us the time and effort to search through our notes for the formulas. All in all, I am thankful to have joined Miss Toh's Maths class before my O level. A big Thank you to you Miss Toh! ^.^

Zhou Rou Ling (Chung Cheng High Yishun)

I have been attending Miss Toh's lessons since sec 2. Without her help, I think I will not be able to do well consistently in Maths. Thank you Miss Toh. All the best with The Maths Cafe.

Pauline Chen (St Nicholas Girls' School)

Miss Toh is simply awesome! I started tuition in the middle of sec 3 and managed to catch up by the end of the year. I was able to help my friends when they can't solve their homework questions. By Sec 4, I was like a maths expert in my class. It was really amazing how I could improve so much in such a short period of time!! Thank you Miss Toh! Cheers,

Jervin Wong (Catholic High School)

I was introduced to Miss Toh's E Maths class by a friend, at the beginning of June, last year. Before joining her tuition class, I was a D7 to C6 student and I never enjoyed Mathematics. It was always a nightmare. Miss Toh has her very interesting techniques to tackle different questions and problems. This shed light to many sums I could not solve before. Her topic by topic lessons during the beginning were extremely useful and it helped to build a solid foundation which was critical in every aspect.

What's more, she provided the class with her little graphical formulae chart.. How could I live through my O levels without that?! :D I begin to love Mathematics and it wasn't as bad as it used to be. My grades improved tremendously within just 2 months. (from C5 to B3) During Mid-September, like every teacher, Miss Toh started her 'Practices papers thrown at you' campaign. Although tiring, it gave me the practice I desperately needed.

Her passion for teaching and her energetic personality brightens up every room and never fail to put smiles on our faces even after a long and tiring day. She was also very patient and made sure the class understood everything before she moved on to the next question. I would not have done as well as I did for Mathematics if it wasn't for Miss Toh's support and guidance and I owe it all to her. I am truly thankful to her and the friend who had introduced me to this tuition class.

Wu Su Yuan(Orchid Park Sec School)

I never thought I needed maths tuition until I was in sec 3. I couldn't understand a thing in class! I was so frightened and lost at that time that I asked my mum to help me look for a tutor. That was when I first met Miss Toh, I was amazed by how she can compressed what my school taught in a month in just 1 lesson. She highlights the main concepts and go through several examples before giving us the commonly tested exam questions. It was so clear and concise that I felt so relieved that I found her. Without her help, I guess I will still be one of the lost sheep in class. Thank you Miss Toh for taking me in.

Chan Yi Lin (St Margaret's Secondary School)

Miss Toh has her own unique way of making us remember our careless mistakes. She actually gives 'names' to the things that she wants us to remember. Honestly, it was kinda funny at first but I soon realized how effective it was. It was like I knew careless mistake like one of my friends. Hahaz.. another thing I like about Miss Toh's lessons is that she gives us many challenging questions to stretch our tiny brains. ;p these questions really help us feel smart and of course do well in exam. Hee… thank you miss toh! :D

Joanna Lim (St Nicholas Girls' School)

Ms toh is very patient and always try to help you understand things you don't before she continues with lesson. The topic tests and exam practices nearing the o's helped SO much(to the extent i can't explain.) She comes up with interesting and very-easy-to-understand methods to maneuver around problems. The 2 hours of lesson with ms toh every wednesday was probably the best thing i did last year. Thank you ms toh! I owe it to you!! XD

Wu Su Yuan (Orchid Park Sec Sch)

The notes that Miss Toh prepare is concise and good. They are my exam-essentials since sec 2. The small booklets make it seems like there is really nothing much to digest. I will always refer to the first page for all the formulas, concepts and useful examples to do my homework. Thank you Miss Toh for nanny-ing me for 3 years. Zheng Hui Min, St Theresa School

Zheng Hui Min (St Theresa Convent)

I was introduced to this tuition center, Maths Cafe by a classmate in the beginning of the year. At that time, My maths was terrible to a point where i scored F9 for all my math tests. After enrolling in Maths Cafe, the teacher, Miss Janelle Toh taught me the basics of mathematics like algebra. As i get better with my foundation, i learnt more new things all thanks to miss toh. My grades improved from F9 to C6 in the prelims, then lastly, to B3 in the GCE O LEVELS. I have enjoyed my classes with miss toh and it was indeed a fun journey. THANKS MISS TOH!

Dalton Wong (Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Sec)

Hi Miss Toh, Thank you for your guidance for the past 3 years. You have been the most wonderful teacher I could ever ask for. I couldn't have gotten my A without you.

Melissa (Methodist Girls School )

Miss Toh is Truly an amazing math tutor I ever seen!!!! She can explain the same concept in SOOOO many different way until I can understand. She is extremely approachable! It feels like you're talking to a friend than a teacher! Which made us feel very easy to ask any questions in class! She never scolds or get angry and willing to stay back and spend extra time for me to ask my huge stack of questions. Thank you Miss Toh for helping me get my A! :D

Kek Shi Jie (Orchid Park Sec Sch)

Miss Toh is able to relate what she teaches to daily life, so it becomes much simpler to grasp the concept. Lessons never end on time but I do not complain as I get to ask questions and clarify some stuff that I am unsure of. She stays back to help me out with whatever extra questions I have or concepts that I am not clear about as I am not a fast learner. She is extremely patient, and tries her best to help every student. Miss Toh's notes are detailed, which highlights important points. It is concise, brief and yet, hits all the important concepts and fundamentals for all the topics. She has done so much more than what she needs to do. She really helped me gain my interest in Mathematics back, and although my basics were very weak, I managed to finally pass A Maths and score a B3 in E Maths.

Emmanuel Phua (Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Sec)

Hey Miss Toh! F9 to B3!! I still cannot believe it. Thank you for helping me all this time. Also, thank you for having faith in me. I think you always have it more than I have for myself. Haha. The notes you prepared are formatted very effectively as it's size allows me to carry it around and revise anywhere. Its content is structured such that it's easy to understand. Besides that, your encouragement is also something I really appreciate too. By the way, you still owe us our Mac treat!!!

Danial (Montford Sec Sch)

Maths used to be my greatest problem. Although I can understand the concept, I could never score A in maths until I joined miss toh classes. After going through the major concepts, she will show us the common trick questions in exams. I feel that it is extremely helpful especially for students like me. I feel as though I saw the exam paper before I actually even sit for it. Miss Toh has helped me gain confidence and like maths again. Thank you Miss Toh for your wonderful lessons.

Liang Min Li (St Nicholas Girls School)

Miss Toh has a good knowledge of variety of exam questions. The extra lessons and worksheets provided were indeed very useful. Thanks for providing more worksheets in areas where I was weaker in. It was also wonderful that there was such great enthusiasm to help me in any way possible.

Nicole(CHIJ TPY)

Miss Toh is a kind and patient teacher who has helped me alot as my GCE O LVLS are approaching. I am very poor in maths when i first joined but she is always willing to go in depth of that particular subject topic. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. Her good temper is something I think is very important because it enable me to have lessons that are stress-free. The summary sheet that she gave us, helped me a lot. I can absorb alot of concepts from there in a glance :) Thank you Miss Toh, you really helped me a lot!

Marcus Lim (Nanhua High)

I joined Miss Toh after my sec 3 exam… I failed badly and needed to sit for a provisional exam to continue taking a maths. With 4 one-to-one lessons, miss toh gave me a quick crash course. She showed me all possible questions in each topic and caught all my bad habits... She made it sounds so simple that i cannot believe it!!! I was very happy when i pass the paper and regained confidence in a maths. Ever since then, I began to excel in maths… finally, got A for a maths in O level. Thank you miss toh for all your help! All the best..

Pravin (Commonwealth SS)

Miss Toh,
Thanks for all the guidance and help that you have given me these past 3 months. It was with your help that I managed to improve tremendously, and score a B for maths! Something which I have never achieved ever since in upper secondary. You are a kind and caring teacher, and you never fail to help me in any way possible. Hopefully I can score a B3 or perhaps an A to make you proud! I hope I won't let you down. : )

Ying Xiang (Hua Yi SS)

I have done pretty well for Maths this term and I am proud of it. At first, I have no confidence in Maths as I know that I am lazy but Miss Toh and my peers gave me lots of encouragement to work harder. I would like to give thanks to Miss Toh for her her moral support and lessons. I really appreciate Miss Toh's lesson. Thank you cher!! I will continue to work hard <3

Shahhidah (Christ Church SS)

Thank you Miss Toh. I didn't know I can do well for Math before you came to teach us. I enjoy your lessons because it is always very casual and we feel at ease to say or ask anything. Your overview of each topic helped the us understand the topic easily. Although we are always noisy and lethagic in the 3pm lesson, you are always understanding and patient with us. Thank you for teaching our class. :)

Hazwan (Christ Church SS)

If there are any words to describe Miss Toh, I think it will be gentle and smart. I can remember vividly how she whipped out her pen and a blank piece of paper to give me an overview of a chapter which I have missed cos I joined her class later. She clarified my doubts in mere 30mins. A monstrous chapter miracously turned into something so intuitive and easy. I guess this was one of the first few personal encounter with Miss Toh that strikes me with that impression. No wonder people says first impression counts. Haha.. ok, overall, Miss Toh is the best math tutor I have so far.. which explains why I have sticked to her until my big Os... Thank you Miss Toh... Keep in touch k?

Vivian (Kent Ridge SS)

Miss Toh, I will always remember your puzzled face when I don't do your homework. alwayz make me feel guilty.. :p your quiz was a little stressing initially but can be quite exciting too! your explanations are clear and to the point. I like it and I am sure many students do as well. Thank you Miss Toh!! Won't have gone to JC without your encouragement and teaching.
