Failing since Sec 1 → A1 in Sec 2

“My son (Sec 2) started 2 lessons before WA1 and managed to get a B4. Before that, he had been failing Math since Sec 1, his foundation was very weak and he had no interest because he couldn’t understand anything. … By WA2, my son improved to an A1. … We’ve tried a few Math tutors over the past couple of years but never found the right one. Desmond is definitely different and is the kind of tutor many parents are looking for.”

E8 → A2 A Math · B4 → A1 E Math

“My child was struggling with AMath and EMath. With Desmond’s support, he improved from E8/B4 to A2/A1 respectively….Desmond truly cares, and his one-on-one sessions were not cheap but they were worth it. Mya and Jiarong also helped a lot with Chemistry and Physics to a B3 from a fail. It wasn’t just about academics…..their guidance really boosted his confidence and mindset too.”

Failing → A1 in Sec 2 Math

“In Sec 1, my son struggled with the subject, he failed two WAs and only managed a borderline pass in his EOY exam. Since engaging Desmond at the start of Sec 2, we have seen significant improvement. In the recent WA1, my son improved drastically from failing grades to A1. Desmond is patient and able to explain concepts clearly, which has boosted my son’s confidence in Math.”

★★★★★

C → A in Sec 2 Math

“When Ava was in Sec 1, Math was one of the subjects she struggled with, and she finished with a C grade. With the patience, encouragement and guidance from her teacher at Kahu Learning, we gradually saw a real change — not only in her understanding of Math, but also in her confidence. Now in Sec 2, she has achieved an A for Math!”
Angela Goh Parent · Google review, 2026
★★★★★

F9 → A2 in Math

“Desmond is a good tutor. With his help and teaching experience,my daughter, has improved from F9 to A2. It was a big jump bench mark of her results. Luckily, we made the right choice for engaging him as her tutor. A very big thump up to him. His teaching method really works on my girl as she understands better than what the teacher taught in school.”

★★★★★

D7 → A2 in Sec 1 Science

“Teacher Nimai is a very patient and diligent teacher who never fails to follow up with my son on his homework. He also helped adjusted his own timing to avoid clashing with my son's CCA which I deeply appreciate. Under the guidance of teacher Nimai my son's Sec 1 Science went from D7 to A2 in 6 months. Thank you for all your efforts!”
