At TTT, the teachers are very patient and passionate about teaching their students. They are always able to make lessons fun and engaging. The teachers often willingly go the extra mile to aid us in our learning such that they would attend to our needs at any time of the day with detailed explanations of our long list of questions. Besides that, the materials provided are very detailed and give us a greater understanding of certain concepts that are only briefly explained in school. The numerous practises in class and the respective feedback given has allowed us to have a more in-depth knowledge of question techniques and analysis of complicated essay question types.
Personally, I always struggled with oral practices due to a lack of confidence in reading aloud. However, Mr Russell was able to correct some of my errors and took the time to guide me through these mistakes. He allowed me to gain some confidence along the way after numerous consultation sessions. I am beyond thankful to Mr Russell for being so willing to help and guide me. Mr Russell has mentioned that I had sent him so many audio recordings that he had to listen to them in his car while driving home. If this does not show the dedication Mr Russell has towards helping his students, I do not know what else will!
Mr Russell has helped me numerous times with English, which was one of my weakest subjects, and helped make lessons more interesting through his personal anecdotes. He was always patient during lessons and consultations and gave his students time to clear any misconceptions. Moreover, he was always concerned about the welfare of his students and ensured that his students were able to cope with school. Even though the centre provided assignments to do over the week, the assignments were manageable and did not add on to any stress from school.
I am very grateful to Mr Russell for his guidance as his teachings have enabled me to go from a B4 to an A1 at O Levels. This truly would not be possible without his help.
