Ace Brainery is a brilliant chemistry tuition centre, not only because of the knowledge it imparts, but also because of the teacher who makes the lessons interesting and engaging for everyone. Through Ace Brainery, I managed to learn much more about chemistry than I thought I ever would. Not only did Desmond help me improve my chemistry skills, he also inculcated my love for the subject, which not just any teacher is able to do. From struggling with Chem till getting the eventual A for my H2 Chem at A Levels, Desmond was there all the way for me, not only academically, but he also looked after my welfare, stepping out of his role as a tuition teacher to put in effort to ensure that I was doing well in other areas of my life too. I am especially grateful for the financial aid he provided for me, as without it, I don't think I could have progressed so far too. Something else that deserves special mention is that my percentile in NYJC doubled from about 50 to 95 in merely a few months with him.

My entire perspective of chemistry, tremendous improvement in results and a gradual love for it is all credited to Desmond! Without him, I definitely would never have achieved the same outcome. Back before I knew of Ace Brainery, I disliked Chemistry as I was consistently bad at it. Lectures and homework were all dreadful and I didn't know what was going on most of the time in J2. However, after I started attending lessons in June, that's when things changed. Desmond's unique style of teaching was good as he recapped whatever I misunderstood. His explanations were concise and rich in content, often covering what was tested in exams. Each time he would ask questions to challenge our thinking and his scolding really played a huge role in making me always prepared for any questions to come. Apart from his teaching style, he is also very approachable and friendly, always ready to reply to any queries I have. He genuinely cares for his students' welfare and would ask how I am doing from time to time. He is not just an amazing teacher, but also an amazing friend! Because of him, I improved from 31.0 (BT1- U) to 90.1 (PRELIM- B) percentile within just 5 months! Without Ace Brainery I would definitely not have come this far!

Ace Brainery is the best tuition centre around for someone that is looking for a fun and lively study environment, but yet is able to learn alot! In all my lessons with Desmond, I never really dreaded any and always looked forward to the next class cause Desmond makes his lessons really fun and interesting. Chem didn't feel like chem with him... He really taught it in a way that made it interesting and I really promise he's super experienced and knowledgeable, about not just the Chemistry syllabus but also what the schools expect and teach.

He has helped boost a lot of my friends from a U grade to an A and none of my friends whom I have recommended regret joining him! He's a great tutor who's fun-loving, chill and teaches very well. Your lessons will never be boring! You'll never regret joining him and thanks to him and his teaching I got an A in the A levels!!!

A man who stands by a principle of moral righteousness, what struck me the most was his willingness to accept students regardless of their financial background and compromising for those who may not be able to afford the full tuition fees. And that’s just scratching the surface. His fair treatment of every student no matter their level of chemistry depicts his aptitude for teaching, and he connects with students not only on a teaching level, but on a personal level as well. Being well versed with the chemistry syllabus is an understatement, for Desmond is someone who lives and breathes chemistry. His dedication to the subject and flair for teaching is evident in his teaching style, for he is able to filter out what’s important and what’s not, and come up with learning methods catered to the needs of his students. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” The depth of a teacher is not by how much he teaches, but how much he is able to inspire. Desmond, thanks for being a teacher that inspires.

Desmond is a kind and caring teacher who’s committed to his students. I thoroughly enjoyed his classes and am grateful for all that he’s taught me! After going for his classes, I understood chemistry much better and developed a better appreciation for the subject. I would highly recommend Ace Brainery as a productive and conducive environment to learn.
