Experience
I am an ex HOD Math of a Secondary School at CHIJ St Joseph and Bedok South Sec school.
I have O/A level and IP students from TPJC, MJC, CJC, SAJC, SRJC, ACJC, HCI, ACSI, YJC, RI. Currently I am still teaching SAJC, HCI and RI students.
For IB, I tutored students from ACS international school and ACS independent school

When I entered JC, I thought I could manage my studies without having tuition. But it was not the case. I decided to engage Ms Low once again, after my mid year examination in JC1. My grades improved. There were quite a few topics that I had difficulty grasping. She would list the key concepts I should know and give questions for me to work on. She was very patient throughout and would even teach the same topic repeatedly until I understood the concepts. I eventually got an A for my H2 mathematics. After collecting my A level results, she continued to show concern and would give advice for the university options I could go for. Ms Low's teaching style is definitely one of the main reasons that cultivated my interest for mathematics.<br>

I was blessed to be taught by Ms Zachia Low half way through when I was in Secondary 3 . Ms Low was both my teacher, friend and my mentor. She was my constant pillar of support. I had not been scoring well for both my Mathematics since beginning of Sec 3. Since then, I felt that I could not do Mathematics at all. I was also known to give up easily when times got hard. I was not convinced to try harder for Mathematics as I felt then that I could not score it anyway. However, Ms Low knew exactly what I needed, be it drill practice questions, trial exam papers, or just a simple pep talk. She was able to make Mathematics seemed easier and more logical to me, always explaining concepts in a way that allowed me to comprehend and apply. She is an extremely inspirational person. She managed to establish a friendly connection with me, which is a rare trait in this day and age. I felt very comfortable with her. Somehow, she was able to make me feel inclined to work hard and study smart. Over the span of over a year and a half, she managed to turn my attitude towards Mathematics a good 180 degrees! I became very confident over time and I actually looked forward to doing Mathematics and scoring them. I felt so good that my subject teacher told me that I did not have to attend supplementary classes for Mathematics as I was doing consistently well already. My teacher also said that she expected me to perform very well for O Levels! I was elated! It was a great morale booster. I eventually did very well for the O Levels, jumping a whopping 6 grades for A Mathematics and 4 grades for E Maths. Ms Low has not only helped me to make a U turn of my grades, she also enabled me to have a level of new found confidence. I feel ready now to score an A for my A Level! I am thankful to Ms Low for being in this journey with me. I really could not have done it without her!

Ms Low taught me Additional and Elementary Mathematics for the whole of my O Level year. She quickly took note of the topics I was weaker in, and made sure I do continous drill and practice in those weak areas. The drill and practice intensified as the examinations neared. She patiently and clearly explained the approaches and techniques for the challenging questions that I had problems with until I understood my mistakes. Thanks to her help, I was able to get distinctions for both my O level A Maths and E Maths in the O Level. Ms Low is a teacher who cares for her students. She has been a mentor to me and I am most grateful to her guidance.

I had always not been interested in Mathematics and I had been very complacent as a child. Mathematics, to me, was difficult and tedious. However, this perception changed ever since Ms Low started teaching me. Through her step-by-step working and techniques and her ever (she seems to have endless laws to share), she never failed to amuse me with her wit. Through her wit and her unique style of teaching, I realized that Mathematics was not so bad after all. There were many moments in that I understood and saw the light. Those moments gave me joy and provided me with growing confidence. Ms Low was kind, patient and understanding. She continued to encourage me and believe in me, even at times when I have doubted myself. She made me believe in myself again and because of that, I am truly grateful to her. I cherish these past 7 years that we had (yes, it was 7 years and I am proud to be the only one in her stable). Although I managed to score A1 for both E and A math at O levels, I feel that the biggest takeaway for me is that I have grown to become a better person; a person who is confident, perseverant. I have come to believe that I could achieve whatever I envision myself to achieve. Last but not least, I learnt from Ms Low that I should always relish an enriching and learning journey, not just the outcome. Ms Low is not only a teacher to me; she is my mentor. Thank you for being a significant part of this journey with me

I have had the privilege of having Zachia for my teacher for about three years. This actually means that I've had three years of Zachia saving the day, aka, saving my grades. I have never been a failing student in mathematics. However, when I entered secondary school, I became lazy and lacked prioritising skills. But I met Zachia. She always managed to explain the concepts to me in a way that suits my learning style which made math lessons far more productive and efficient. However, what truly sets Zachia apart from other teachers is her boundless patience and her ability to understand the way a person thinks and feels. This also makes her so much more than a teacher. To me, she is also a friend and a mentor. Even as I am now pursuing medicine in UWA, I know I can still count on Zachia for support and advice. I am grateful to have been able to meet Zachia, not solely because of the dual As that she managed to help me achieve for my O levels, but also for imparting great wisdom. Through Zachia, I understand the significance of acquiring wisdom, beyond grades. Thank you Zachia, for both.
