Overcome mathematics and grasp the initiative

My Paper,  22 May 2015

数学在很多学生眼里， 或许是一门捉得到, 却难以摸清的学科。 能够将一堆数学公式 放进脑袋里，但从中适当地运用 在考题上，却显得一筹莫展，这 情况在高年级的数学犹为严峻。 有鉴于此，Jackie Lee Learning Center（又名Perfect Solution Pte Ltd）的诞生，正好为身处此 困境的学生，提供专业的协助。 中心创办人暨首席导 Jackie Lee于2003至2011年之 间，曾在多所日间名校任教数学 科, 累积丰富的教学经验。其后 他自立门户，开设专为初院生而 设的A水准会考数学补习班，制 订一套经过多番改进的教材，务 求给予学生一个学习数学的崭新 体验，达致事半功倍之效。 他说：“我办学的首要目标 是要建立一段良好的三角关系， 包括学生、家长及老师。方式犹 如办好一家上市企业，学生等同 股票，家长为其持有股东，我的

角色是要将股票的潜在价值发挥 出来，然后有责任地定期向股东 汇报业绩。” Jackie重视对学生评估的必 要性，每次课堂完结时都会进行 即时测验，然后亲自批改，综合 学生常犯错误加以点提，再配合 整体表现分析，让学生了解自己 的进展与水平。“这评估部份可 算占据我最多的课余时间，曾试 过工作至深夜时分才下班，但看 到学生们认真作答、不断进步， 及最终家长们对我所付出的肯定 与支持，这一切都是值得的。” 问及多年来教学有什么难忘 经历，Jackie想了想，分享了以 下两则回忆。“有一年，收到了 一封电邮，一名海外学生对我的 试前特训班感兴趣，决定出席， 但要我保证不能在7时前提早开 课。我后来才得知她在5时半才 飞抵新加坡，真是太为难她。” “另外，曾有一名母亲，盼 望我在某个黄金时段，能放弃中 心开班，替她孩子上门作一对一 补习。正当我还未来得及回应之 际，她已主动愿意付出所有班上

学生的费用，以前所未有的酬劳 为儿子谋求福利。”这两则事件说明了什么？ Jackie说：“或许突显了这个深 具竞争性的考试制度，无论站在 学生或家长的层面，都会想尽办 法，出奇制胜。” Jackie奉劝各同学眼光应放 远一点，他说：“你们的对手不 只是身边的校内战友，其实最终是要与全国学生竞争，当中亦不 乏从外国来狮城求学的精英。只 要能闯过这一关，考好成绩，升 学的选择多了，主动权落在你 手，日后的路就好走。”最后， Jackie鼓励大家：“不要放弃， 希望在明天，大家一起努力。 ”

English Translation:

In the eyes of many students, mathematics may be a subject that can be captured but difficult to understand. Being able to put a bunch of mathematical formulas in my head, but using them appropriately in the examination questions, seems to be in vain. This situation is still severe in the upper grade mathematics. In view of this, the birth of Jackie Lee Learning Center (also known as Perfect Solution Pte Ltd), provides professional assistance to students in this difficult situation. The founder and chief director of the center, Jackie Lee, taught mathematics in many famous day schools from 2003 to 2011, and accumulated rich teaching experience. After that, he set up his own portal and set up an A-level mathematics supplementary class for junior college students, and developed a set of textbooks with many improvements to ensure that students have a new experience in learning mathematics and achieve twice the result with half the effort. He said: “My primary goal of running a school is to establish a good triangular relationship, including students, parents and teachers. The way is like running a listed company, students are equal to stocks, parents hold shareholders for me, my

The role is to unleash the potential value of the stock and then report to shareholders regularly on performance. “Jackie values ​​the necessity of assessing students. Every time at the end of the class, a real-time test will be taken, and then personally corrected, and the students will make mistakes to make some points, and then cooperate with the overall performance analysis to let students understand their progress and level. “This The evaluation part can be regarded as occupying the most of my extra-curricular time. I have tried to work until late at night, but it is worth seeing the students’ serious answers, continuous progress, and the final recognition and support of parents for me. of. Asked about the memorable experience of teaching over the years, Jackie thought about it and shared the following two memories. “One year, I received an email and an overseas student was interested in my pre-test special training class and decided to attend , But I want to guarantee that I can’t start classes early at 7 o’clock. I later learned that she flew to Singapore at 5:30, which was really embarrassing for her. “In addition, there was a mother who hoped that during a prime time, I would give up the center to start classes and make one-on-one tutoring for her children. Just when I still have time to respond in the future, she has been willing to give all her classes

The student’s expenses seek unprecedented remuneration for his son. “What do these two events explain?” Jackie said: “Perhaps this highly competitive examination system, no matter at the level of students or parents, will try its best to win. Jackie advised his classmates to look further. He said: “Your opponents are not just the comrades in school around you, but in fact you are ultimately competing with students from all over the country, and there are also many elites who come to study in Lion City from abroad. As long as you can pass this level, get good grades, and have more choices for further studies, the initiative is in your hands, and the way ahead will be better. “Finally, Jackie encourages everyone: “Don’t give up, I hope everyone will work together tomorrow. “
