My confidence in my essay writing skills went up

Mindlab Student Testimonial 2

My English tuition lessons with Mr Sean were very enjoyable and effective. My English grades were only Level 4s and 5s before I started tuition lessons. Mr Sean taught me various techniques which I can use to understand and analyse different text types. He pushes me hard in my critical thinking and always gives me constructive feedback, which has helped me deepen my analysis and evaluation of texts. With his consistent support and encouragement, my confidence in my essay writing skills went up and I began to enjoy studying English. In the Final IB exam, I managed to cross the Level 6 boundary by 13 marks. Thank you Mr Sean!

The content, tips and tricks that she taught me, were all very useful

Mindlab Student Testimonial 2

Although I was taught by Ms Lyn for a short period, I think the content, tips and tricks she taught me, were all very useful. She answered each one of my questions with enthusiasm that I remembered, when I was writing my essays. She pointed out errors in my essays that I’ve never really thought were wrong. She nitpicks but I think it’s for the best, because it makes you write each sentence with intention and careful thought, instead of writing whatever immediately comes to mind.

Without their guidance, I would not have achieved these scores

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

In regards to the IB grades, my school originally predicted me a 35/45. However, I received a higher score than what was predicted!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mindlab and their teachers for their guidance and support provided. I received a 5/7 in my English IA; however, due to my bad school reputation, the grade wasn’t increased. This was the only subject I missed by a point and Math SL.

Every Mindlab tutor has been both very kind and patient in guiding me well and answering all my queries patiently. Without their guidance, I would not have achieved these scores. I am thankful to Mindlab. Please convey my regards and thanks to the teachers.

Mindlab Student Testimonial 2

English A: Lang&Lit was a subject I have been cautious about even prior to starting my IB journey – I knew it would be the subject I’ll struggle with the most. However, from the day of meeting her, Ms Lyn has always been patient with her teaching. She allowed me to see many various ways of writing essays, thus setting me free from the structures I have restricted myself with. In addition, she took time out of her schedule to mark work I have submitted ahead of our lessons. Under her guidance, I have managed to go from a low Grade 4 to a Grade 6 in the IB examination – a feat I did not expect!

The Mindlab tutors are unique because they are well-versed in the IB curriculum and have a wealth of resources and experience teaching it

Mindlab Student Testimonial 2

Having struggled with both physics and lang lit in my first year as an IB student, I quickly turned towards outside help. The Mindlab tutors are unique because they are well-versed in the IB curriculum and have a wealth of resources and experience teaching it. The individual attention I was given every week forced me not only to constantly put in the work required to do well in the IB but also gave me a strong guide to ensure I was constantly improving and given feedback. My physics tutor, Mr Hong Yi, is one of the few physics teachers who is not only extremely comfortable with the curriculum but is also extremely clear in his explanations. I remember being surprised at how much I was picking up in every one of our 1.5 hour lessons. Similarly, Ms Lyn, my language and literature tutor, understands the standards that IB markers expect in our written work, and constantly give me feedback on how to improve my essays, imparting skills and knowledge that have dramatically improved my grades (from a low 5 to a 7). Despite not struggling in math, I decided to take on tuition since I was still unconfident in certain areas. My time with Mr David and Mr Kin Leong has no doubt improved not only my mathematical knowledge but my exam skills as well. I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to my tutors at Mindlab for their constant belief in me and their hard work. I would not have been able to achieve my scores if not for their generous guidance and help.

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

Short feedback on the tuition class experience at Mindlab. Ms Lyn has been extremely helpful in guiding me to be an independent 1st language learner. Ms Lyn allowed me to be free of reliance to understand and analyse a text through her well-structured course. She was very patient with my occasional downfalls in the English IB course and very supportive to encourage me to learn from my mistakes and do better in future exams. Without Ms Lyn’s guidance, I believe I wouldn’t have achieved this acceptable IB grade. I highly recommend Ms Lyn to other students that find English as a challenging subject.

Within a very short time, I was able to produce substance and depth in my essays.

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

I enjoyed my English tuition with Mr Sean. My grades in school fall in the range of 5s & 6s and I got a C during my mocks exams. I had no idea how I could be better. Mr Sean taught me to look for relevant points and to organise my ideas in a structured manner to score points. Under his guidance, I developed a deeper and more critical analysis of the different texts. Not only is Mr Sean effective in his teaching methods, he is also extremely patient. Within a very short time, I was able to produce substance and depth in my essays. I am very happy to score an “A” for Literature and “B” in English for the IGCSE exams in May/Jun 2022. Thank you very much!

Ms Xuan Ning is a great teacher! I was struggling with Chemistry and missing a lot of points for International Maths before starting tuition with her. She pushed me to practise Maths and explained well on the topics that I did not grasp very well. For Chemistry, she went through every topic in detail, helping me to understand the concepts in clarity. I develop more confidence in the practice papers when I start to do well. I was very happy to get a AA award for my Co-ordinated Science and a B for my Maths paper. Thank you Ms Xuan Ning!

Ms Jenn is a great teacher! My grades for Physics were inconsistent throughout school and I did poorly for my mocks. Ms Jenn was very clear in her explanations and she pushed me to cover all the topics, including the ones that I was not motivated to do. She makes Physics so much more interesting and enjoyable. I got a AA award for my Co-ordinated Science. Thank you so much, Ms Jenn!

Mr Sean let me truly enjoy and appreciate English as a subject

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

I am really grateful for Mr Sean being my English tutor. He was very patient and experimented with various styles of writing. Eventually, we settled on an essay framework that was suitable for me. I could not have discovered this on my own. Moreover, Mr Sean would give me constructive feedback that improved the concision and composition of my essays, as well as adds his insightful analysis at times. The lessons increased my grade from Level 5s to a high Level 7 for the final IB exam. Most importantly, Mr Sean let me truly enjoy and appreciate English as a subject, couldn’t have done it without him.

Mr Sean is straight to the point and honest about his opinions to help his students more effectively

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

I achieved a 7 in language and literature as my final IB grade, but I was predicted a 6 from my mock exams. I know that I would not have achieved such high grades without the help and guidance of Mr Sean. I admire Mr Sean’s teaching style as he never provided or gave me the answers but allowed me to think about the possibilities within an answer to enforce a solid understanding of whatever he taught me. He was also very honest, which was invaluable as some tutors pretend that you’re doing well whereas Mr Sean is straight to the point and honest about his opinions to help his students more effectively. Nonetheless, out of the tutors in any of my other subjects, Mr Sean has the best personality and would always engage in intellectual and interesting conversations with me about broader English conventions. My lessons with him were the only ones in the week that I would be excited for. Thank you for providing me with Mr Sean’s significant and enjoyable help.

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

Mr Enrico has been very supportive with guiding me to understand topics by breaking down concepts. Explaining questions I was not able to answer step-by-step helped me point out and clear my misunderstandings. This has been very helpful especially during the final months as it allowed me to focus on key areas I needed to improve on.

Ms Naomi’s classes have been very helpful for me as well. As we reviewed my writing and analysis, she not only suggested ways to enhance the argument, but also introduced new arguments using different approaches that helped establish alternative perspectives.

Mindlab Student Testimonial 1

My experience with Mr. Enrico and Ms. Grace has been nothing short of transformative.

Mr. Enrico’s dedication and expertise in teaching math and physics during my IB journey were truly invaluable. His unwavering support and deep understanding of the subjects played a crucial role in my success. Under his guidance, I progressed from a high 6 to a safe and secure 7 in both math and physics. No matter how complex or trivial my questions were, he was always available to explain with patience and clarity. His ability to simplify difficult concepts made a significant difference, and I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved the results I did without his mentorship.

Ms. Grace’s passion and commitment to teaching English were equally impactful. She guided me from a 4 or 5 to a solid 6, something I had doubted was possible. Her insightful feedback and engaging teaching style not only strengthened my writing but also boosted my confidence in the subject. Ms. Grace consistently created a positive and encouraging learning environment, making each session feel productive and motivating. She is extremely kind and friendly, making the lesson atmosphere warm and welcoming—particularly impactful for a subject I didn’t especially enjoy.

I am incredibly grateful for the dedication, knowledge, and encouragement that both Mr. Enrico and Ms. Grace provided. Their unwavering support went beyond academics, and I owe much of my progress and achievements to their exceptional guidance.
