Frankly I previously had an extreme animosity towards Chinese. I didn't like the subject and the exams, I didn't even like my school Chinese teacher. However, after this tuition, I can confidently say that my view of Chinese has taken a 180°turn thanks to my tuition teacher, Mr Vincent Kok .
Now that I have experienced this change I realize that doing well in Chinese is not something that can be achieved by hardwork alone, doing well in Chinese requires the user to have a certain liking for the subject. I realize achieving in this is not so simple however Mr Kok has shown me that Chinese isn't my enemy, it's a friend, and a subject that can be mastered when one has the right attitude when studying for it .
Mr Kok's lessons are extremely beneficial as they help me to gain a deep understanding and liking for the subject. Up to the point that I can now freely speak Chinese and enjoy it, something that I would not have thought possible a year ago. He obtained teaching skills that not many have who is an all rounded teacher who can teach in the many different aspects of the subject .
From these lessons, overall, my Chinese comprehension , composition , letter writing and especially my Chinese oral have increased in strength tenfold as Mr Kok has helped me to overcome what seemed like not one but many insurmountable obstacles .
In conclusion , I recommend that anyone who reads this will strongly consider taking Mr Kok's lessons as it is the catalyst that will definitely increase any student's fluency and strength in the area.
