What Parents and Students Say About KLS

E8 → A2 A Math · C6 → A2 Pure Chem (O-Levels)

“I used to really struggle with A Math and Pure Chemistry and honestly thought I would never understand them. … In a relatively short time about 6 months, I improved from a E8 to an A2 in AMath, a C6 to an A2 in Pure Chemistry for O levels … The lessons are engaging and never boring and I can easily access everything including recording even with my busy CCA schedule and late school days.”

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.”

A1 E/A Math · A2 Chemistry · A1 Biology (O-Levels)

“The classes helped me significantly in both E/AMath and Science for my O Levels. I went from struggling with concepts to understanding them clearly and I’m very happy to have achieved an A1 for E/AMath, an A2 for Chemistry and an A1 for Biology. … I was initially skeptical but the teachers especially Tutor Desmond, were very interactive and felt like my older brother/sister which made the classes much more enjoyable.”

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.”

Science E8 → B3 · Math → A1

“At the time, my Math and Science were very weak, so I decided to give it a shot. After joining Teacher Desmond’s learning centre, my Science improved from an E8 to a B3, and my Math went up to an A1—all within just a month plus! His online classes were really helpful as they were conducted with clear visuals, colors, and recorded lessons that I could review anytime.”

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!”

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!”

5/6 → A2 in WA1

“Her Math and Science grades have improved significantly, and she recently achieved A2 for her WA1 exams (from 5/6). … I was initially a little apprehensive about the lessons being conducted on Zoom, but Teacher Desmond does an incredible job engaging each student and holding them accountable during class. It works well with my daughter’s tight schedule too, so it’s really been a win-win.”

U → A2 A Math · U → B3 Chemistry

“About 3 months ago, I started lessons with Tutor Nimai, and the results have been amazing. In just one month, my Combined Chemistry improved from a U to a B3, and my A Math jumped from a U to an A2. Nimai is patient, clear in his teaching, and genuinely cares about his students.”

Failing → A2 in A Math

“Tr Desmond has been an incredible teacher, and I’m beyond grateful for his guidance over the past few months. When I first joined his AMath class, I was struggling and barely passing. But thanks to his patient teaching, clear explanations, and constant encouragement, I went from failing to scoring an A2.”

A1 in A Math & E Math (O-Levels)

“After receiving my end of year math results in secondary 3, it left me in shock as it was not what I had expected to be. I had a just passed in Amath. … Desmond tries his best to connect with his students and ensures that they understand what he is teaching. By joining Desmond's class, I felt a sense of security and confidence in my math. This helped me to score well for my O levels, with a A1 in both Amath and Emath.”

C6 → A1 in E Math

“Ever since I joined Mr Desmond’s EMath tuition in November 2023, it has allowed me to improve my grades from a C6 to an A2 and A1. I’m really grateful as his lessons are detailed and allowed me to understand topics which I was weaker at in the past.”

D7 → A2 in A & E Math

The sessions were held online and the class size was just nice where the teacher was able to personalise content for each student. … Overall a very good investment and my son will be continuing regular tuition with Kahu. Thank you for making the sessions interactive and reigniting my son's interest in Maths and Science.”

June bootcamp · Sec 1 G2

“After going through the gamut of group classes, 1-1 home tutors, bootcamps etc I find Kahu’s June bootcamp a good match for my Sec 1 G2 son’s learning journey. The teachers themselves are highly relatable to the students (because of their age) and thus built good rapport and trust. Students are constantly engaged in class beyond just the usual name calling and question answering.”

Holiday crash course · Sec 1 & Sec 3

“Register both my boys sec 1 and sec 3 for the crash course. Only just 2 days both my son understand the math topic that was provided in the crash course,should be the way Mr Desmond engage with them.I was abit skeptical with online tuition but Mr Desmond prove me wrong. My boys can't wait for the next topic.Highly recommended.”

Online classes that parents can follow

“I was initially concerned about how Jamie would stay focused in online classes and how the lessons would be conducted without physical supervision. However, the tutors at Kahu Learning Space have managed the online classes seamlessly. All classes are recorded, so she can watch and review the material whenever needed. They also have a personalized group chat for us together with the tutor, allowing me to track what Jamie is learning and ensure she completes her homework.”
