My experience with Ace Brainery has been one that has equipped me with not only a solid understanding of Chemistry, but with a lasting interest for the subject. I can walk into class with many doubts on certain topics, and practically walk out with all my doubts cleared. I think the thing that I am most thankful for in my classes with Desmond was that classes were always fun. Zero regrets since signing up!!!

‘Lukewarm', would in a word, be how I’d describe my initial attitude towards chemistry. I neither detested it, nor particularly enjoyed it —it was just a necessity. With this tepid attitude, I managed 5s, 6s and the occasional 7 with just my trusty Marshall Cavendish. Not horrible grades, no. However, I felt a certain un-sustainability in my then method, as though there were gaping holes in my knowledge that I’d somehow managed to skirt around in every single test I took in school. Desmond solved this problem for me.

At Ace Brainery, Desmond, quite brutally (but with all the love in the world), dissected my prior knowledge of chemistry, identifying the aforementioned gaps in knowledge I wasn’t able to find myself. Over the course of almost 2 years, my initially lamentable chemistry foundation was fortified ten-fold, clearing any doubts I had previously harbored about most chemistry topics. This strong foundation brought my lukewarm attitude to a boil. The links between each topic gradually became clearer and clearer, as though each class came with a guaranteed epiphany. I not only enjoyed Desmond’s chill (like super chill) and effective classes, but also chemistry itself. Naturally, my grades saw a steady rise and 7s in chemistry weren’t goals, but rather expectations.

I give this testimonial with no exaggeration whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and join Ace Brainery.

Darin Chow, ACJC

Before joining Ace Brainery, I struggled a lot with Chemistry and always scored a U/S in school exams. I got recommended to join Ace Brainery towards the end of JC1 and Desmond’s lessons helped me understand Chemistry concepts easily through his focus on memory work and drilling of tricky concepts. Moreover, Desmond is a dedicated teacher which is demonstrated through his speedy replies to the multitudes of Chemistry questions I had which helped me to improve swiftly! The final lap towards A levels provided me with the practice I needed. Thanks to Ace Brainery, I not only achieved an ‘A’ for H2 Chemistry at A Levels, but I also developed a passion for Chemistry as a subject. This is one of the best tuition I have had and I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to excel in Chemistry!

Yi Zhen, ACJC

Chemistry has always been my weakest subject. I really struggled to score any better than an E grade in my first year in ACJC, and I actually failed the subject many times. Things only started to change after my friend recommended Ace Brainery to me after my J1 Promotional Examination. Desmond organises his materials and teaches in a way that makes it a lot easier for students to grasp complex Chemistry concepts. This helped me a lot as my biggest weakness was the inability to grasp those concepts. Not only is Desmond an exceptional teacher with a profound knowledge of Chemistry, his dedication to help students improve is evident in how he goes out of his way to contact weaker students in his own free time to offer extra help, as well as his speedy and detailed responses to our questions asked on WhatsApp. Thanks to Desmond’s guidance, I managed to improve tremendously, and finally achieved an A grade for H2 Chemistry in the A Level Examination. I have always recommended Ace Brainery to my friends and juniors, and I will gladly continue to do so!

Zachary Lee, ACJC

Joining Ace Brainery lifted a huge academic burden off my shoulders during my time in JC as Desmond's Chemistry lessons were not only highly effective in breaking down complex topics and chapters, they were also extremely engaging. Desmond's once a week lessons were more than sufficient in keeping us afloat in school, which really allowed me and my friends to spend more time studying our other subjects. His attention to detail helped to strengthen our foundation and understanding of Chemistry. Furthermore, Desmond is also passionate tutor, and is also extremely approachable. He will always reply any questions we may have with in-depth explanations no matter the time of day. His unwavering support and encouragement helped me consistently secure good grades in Chemistry, and I highly recommend Ace Brainery to anyone taking Chemistry.
