Testimonials and success stories
This one thing my client did changed everything for my student
She canceled the class because the student hadn't completed her assignments
This decision showed my student that there are consequences to the choices she makes
We made it clear to her that we want to see her commitment through actions, not words!
She agreed and from then on, we were able to get things moving really smoothly and quickly.
Congratulations on scoring 25/30 (A1 - 83%) for your Math examination!
This student did it again
He succeeded in Math again and I would greatly attribute his success to the habits that he has formed over time.
A wise man once said, "habits are first established then improved.”
If you’re establishing a habit for your child, always start small.
It doesn't matter if not much is achieved in those 15 minutes. Remember, we are establishing a habit, not aiming for results just yet.
And if you’re wondering how long it takes for a habit to form….
It’s not about a specific number of days, 21 or 210 or 2100 days — but about patience.
It takes "patience" for a habit to form.
To this day, his parents and I are still brainstorming ways to make intuition marking more natural for this student by coming up with different incentives model.
I feared his grades would suffer but I was wrong.
Recently, this student was chosen to represent his school for the National School Games (NSG) in Track and Field.
This adds to an already full plate: 4 subjects, cricket, music, and now track and field.
Wouldn't this mean less time for Math? Wouldn't this lead to lower grades? These thoughts were constantly on my mind.
I have witnessed his journey from failure to becoming the top student, and I couldn't bear the thought of his grades slipping.
I even suggested dropping some activities, fearing he couldn't manage everything.
I shared my concerns with his mother, and she simply said..........
"Patience.”
I wasn’t entirely convinced until I had a conversation with him.
That convo showed how much being part of this NSG team meant to him.
To me, it was just a competition.
But to him, it gave him a sense of purpose, recognition, and identity.
I knew then and there that I had to be there to cheer him on.
When I told him I'd come to his match, the joy was indescribable.
As I was crafting this post, I can’t help but to be reminded of how my parents supported me in everything that I set out to do, even if it was a short-lived passion.
I hope this is an encouragement to all parents out there to support your child in their pursuit of academics success AND also their passions.
It doesn’t have to be a choice between academics and passions. It can be both as we have seen here.
So proud to witness all that you’ve achieved, Jai!
Don’t ever forget that you can:
-hate Math
-start to form some interest
-feel lost again
-start to fall in love with Math after you crack the hard questions
-feel like you’re a math genius
-got complacent and lost some marks
-learnt your lesson
-bounce back up and scored well consistently
This was what happened to this student of mine.
Let me end with this quote: “I fear not a person who fails but a person who fails to try.”
