Star graduates share

Ian Chiu | Diocesan Boys' School → Actuarial Science, University of Hong Kong

  • Attend school: Diocesan Boys' School (DBS)
  • DSE results: Math Core 5**, M1 5**
  • Studying now: Department of Actuarial Science, University of Hong Kong (Actuarial Science)
  • Tuition period: Form 4 to Form 6 (3 years)

"I started tuition maths at Math Insight and Terry Sir from Form 4. At first, my maths results were only above average, and I scored around 70 in the school exam, which was not outstanding for DBS."

"Terry Sir's teaching method is very different from the school. He doesn't just teach you how to do the questions, but how to think. He will explain the logic behind each question so that I can truly understand the concept instead of memorizing it by rote."

"The most profound thing is that Terry Sir has taken the DSE himself and scored 5** in Core, M1, and M2 subjects, so he knows the question format and scoring standards of DSE very well. He taught me question-answering techniques, such as how to get points for all the steps and which positions are most likely to lose points. It was a great help to me."

"In the end, I scored 5** in both DSE maths Core and M1, and successfully entered HKU to study actuarial science. Thank you Terry Sir for your careful guidance over the past three years!"

Although the progress was a little slower, in every lesson I really understood that I should continue first, and I caught up very quickly after that."

"My daughter started tuition at Math Insight in Form 4, and her grades have steadily improved over the past three years. Terry Sir is very patient and will report her learning progress to us every time, waiting for us to know her situation. The most important thing is that she has become interested in mathematics and no longer resists doing maths homework."

— Ian’s mother, parent of a student at Diocesan Boys’ School

"My daughter was originally very weak in maths. She tried several large tuition centers but couldn't find any improvement. A friend introduced me to Math Insight. The small class teaching is really different. The teacher can solve her problems one by one. The improvement from Level 3 to 5* is really incredible!"

—Marcus’ mother, parent of a student at La Salle College

"The fees at Math Insight are reasonable and the teaching quality is high. What I appreciate most is that Terry Sir really cares about students and does not keep students tuition just to make money. My daughter DSE scored 5**, and she said Terry Sir contributed a lot to it."

—Sophie’s dad, parent of a student at Heep En secondary school

"As an IB parent, it's hard to find a tutor who knows how to teach IB maths. Terry Sir from Math Insight is very familiar with the IB curriculum, and he also helps his daughter with IA guidance. In the end, I got a score of 7, and I can go to the UK to study at my favorite university!"
