Excellent
Excellent. They were both very patient and they were very familiar with the IB curriculum of their respective subjects.
My confidence in my essay writing skills went up
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
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.
I appreciate their patience, enthusiasm, the teaching method they used to motivate my son
I appreciate their patience, enthusiasm ,the teaching method they used to motivate my son to strive for overcoming the weakness and facing challenges. Also they made D. to get excited to write his essays. Thank you for a great school year 2021 D. with two of you.
His way of explaining is easy for me to understand
He is very kind and understanding and his way of explaining is easy for me to understand.
Helped grow my son’s confidence in the subject
Ms Naomi is a very friendly and patient tutor. Her positivity helped grow my son’s confidence in the subject.
Do send our regards and thanks to Ms Naomi for her guidance to help him improve upon his grades. We are all happy with D’s results overall for his IB.
My child obtained A and above for the subjects he took with the center
Pre-Exam Testimonial: Thank you to all of my son’s teachers so much for all the guidance and support provided to him. You all have supported him so much in his journey thus far in each of your individual ways. From what I witness, he is definitely a more confident person than he was 8 months ago. 🙂 ❤️
Post-Exam Results Testimonial: The teachers at MindLab who taught my child’s IGCSE syllabus are dedicated and professional. The admin staff is also helpful and responsive. Our experience with MindLab has been amazing! My child obtained A and above for the subjects he took with the center.

Mr Sean is an excellent teacher. He helped me understand my mistake and gave me lots of advise for my writing. Very happy I got an A for my English and Literature.

He did well, and I’d like to thank his two tutors for supporting him
My son does not want to share his results. But he did well, and I’d like to thank his two tutors for supporting him; Ms Elfarina for making him enjoy learning English Literature, and he appreciates Mr Huang Qi for grilling him in small details he tends to ignore. And thanks for the Physics tutor even though it was only for a couple of sessions.
Helped me understand how to compose my writing better for English
A very friendly teacher and lively in study sessions. He knows a lot of things from my generation which helps him connect more with me and makes a lot of references that make lessons more fun. For Literature, he made sure I knew the texts well and helped me understand how to compose my writing better for English.
Good at teaching
He is good at teaching and S. is satisfied with his class. I would appreciate his continued guidance in IBDP English.

We are very pleased the results
We are very pleased with the results! He got his diploma. Can you let Ms Jenn & Ms Niithiya know. Many thanks!
Very dedicated to giving me pointers for the many essays that I wrote
My predicted score was 6 and i got a high 6 for lang lit. Classes with Miss Nithiya were really helpful to me, where she was very dedicated to giving me pointers for the many essays that I wrote. In addition, her passion and interest in the subject clearly demonstrated in classes also added to my interest in the subject, which motivated me.
Mindlab’s online classes were very convenient and well structured, which definitely helped.
[Final Grade: high6; Predicted Grade: 6]
Mindlab has helped me by making lessons available online which I found convenient and useful
Ms Niithiya is a very dedicated and helpful teacher, always connecting us with resources. I have learnt a lot from her classes. I was able to gain a greater understanding on how to properly answer essays which made me confident during the examination.
Although the pandemic has brought many inconveniences, I felt that it had provided more time to revise. Mindlab has helped me by making lessons available online which I found convenient and useful.
[Final Grade: 6; Previous/Predicted Grade: 5]
Please thank all three teachers on behalf of us
In IGCSE exams S. got A in maths, A in science and in English he got 75 and 77 in two papers which is just few marks short of A.

We believe with kids efforts and Mindlab teacher and staff support our kids can achieve their academic goal
I am very happy with their result. ( especially Yuiko English. From C to A) Also happy with Teacher for Bio and Math.
For us, during this pandemic kids focus on more study (since not much CCA at schools) and we don’t find any difficult situation. And we joined the Mindlab when they finished Preliminary exam but from that with in short term its helped to improve their grade. So we decided to stay on for IB. We believe with kids efforts and Mindlab teacher and staff support our kids can achieve their academic goal!
Without their guidance, I would not have achieved these scores
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.
Excellent and professional services
Ms Lyn has really supported my son well. If he had appeared for the exam, he would have scored even better. he was aiming at 6. the school itself is not sure how the evaluation happened and certainly it is a surprise. Considering the current situation, we do not have a choice except accepting the marks awarded.
Taking this opportunity to thank Mindlab for their excellent and professional services and wishing them to continue to serve and contribute to the progress of students of Singapore in pursuing their educational aspirations.
My sincere gratitude and wishes.
I would like to sincerely thank Ms. Lyn for her tremendous help
I’d like to inform you that I have achieved a grade of “A” in TOK for the May 2020 session. I would like to sincerely thank Ms. Lyn for her tremendous help in the TOK presentation and the essay, as I know I wouldn’t have been able to achieve such a score just myself. Please pass this message to her!

Helped me a lot by helping me analyse texts at a deeper level
I was initially finding English difficult, but I joined Mindlab and Ms.Lyn helped me a lot, by helping me analyse texts, at a deeper level. By doing past papers, I got the idea of what was expected of me, to write a good response for both language and literature. I really appreciate the help that Ms.Lyn offered me, to boost my confidence in English.

Allowed me to target areas specifically to score well
Ms Lyn was invaluable in providing me insight into the exam structure and marking schemes, allowing me to target areas specifically to score well. Her guidance in the multiple components of English made the course a lot easier and manageable. Finally, her diverse range of resources such as exemplar essays and her constant feedback on my essays really helped to push to the next level.

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!
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!
[Final Grade: 6; Previous Grade: 4]
The Mindlab tutors are unique because they are well-versed in the IB curriculum and have a wealth of resources and experience teaching it
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.

It was a great experience in Mindlab
Ms. Lyn was very helpful and patient in dealing with our class. Despite us always having busy schedules that made it difficult to have a fully structured plan, Ms. Lyn was flexible and accommodating. We managed to have extremely useful IOC practices that really allowed us to hone our skills prior to the examination. It was a great experience in Mindlab and we would like to extend our gratitude to Ms. Lyn and the Mindlab team.

Ms Lyn allowed me to be free of reliance to understand and analyse a text through her well-structured course
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.

The overall atmosphere of our classes was also pretty nice as Ms Lyn is a super attentive, understanding and patient teacher. This really motivated me a lot to put in effort and perform better. Although the final paper was not something I expected, Ms Lyn prepared me well enough to deal with both questions. I am truly thankful for her help throughout the process.

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

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

My experience with Mr. Enrico and Ms. Grace has been nothing short of transformative.
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.
She always gave me precise advices and feedbacks which helped me a lot to improve. Thank you!
