Testimonials:
'S' TO 'A' IN 2 MONTHS!
"Patrick is an extremely patient teacher who takes the time to go through topics in a clear and concise manner. He does not cut any corners when going through topics and instead goes the extra mile to ensure that all points are met and that I am able to understand the topic clearly. Patrick takes every class seriously and uses the 2 hours we have to go through as much as he can. He is very professional and ensures that he uses appropriate economic terms to explain topics to his best ability. Unfortunately, the time I had with him was short, spanning only a mere 2 months.
Thankfully, Patrick is really committed to teaching and made the effort to conduct lessons for me twice a week. With his help, I managed to jump from an S to an A in this short period of time! His hardworking attitude, accompanied by easy-to-remember notes played a huge part in allowing me to achieve this feat. He is very encouraging and also welcomes any questions I have, be it from his homework or from my school work. Even though my time with him was short, his teaching really had a large impact on me. It helped me to gain a deeper understanding of economics and made me enjoy studying this subject a lot more. Thank you so much, Patrick, for helping me to achieve this grade. I can safely say that without his help, I would not have gotten anywhere near it!"

"CRYSTAL CLEAR & EASY"
"My H2 economics journey was not an easy one as the subject was not something I could grasp from the start. my saving grace was starting tuition with Mr. James Patrick yap because every concept that used to confuse me became crystal clear and easy to understand and the atmosphere during our classes was warm, encouraging and enjoyable. all the support and extra papers we plowed through gave me the boost that I needed to succeed in the end to get the A I'd been aiming for :D"
