Melvin was my daughter’s Economics tutor when she was preparing for the GCE ‘A’ Levels in 2022. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable Economics tutor, who genuinely cares about his students and understands the problems that they may be facing. My daughter has the highest regards for Melvin as he not only helped her to understand and appreciate the subject more, but also taught her unique and helpful techniques to memorise key points better. Melvin is very patient and empathetic as well. He is always ready to provide guidance and encouragement whenever needed, leaving a very positive and lasting impact on my daughter.
