"Elijah Im is an extremely positive, steadfast and fundamentally sound chemistry tutor. I had the pleasure of being his student during Grade 12 in 2023 where I achieved an overall percentage of 90% throughout the year. He is always punctual and teaches with enthusiasm, making lessons with him enjoyable and never dull. With his expansive amount of chemistry-related knowledge, he even creates customised worksheets and questionnaires for his pupils to test their understanding. The effort he puts into each of his lessons is outstanding; a substantial part of the reason I excelled in chemistry during my final year of schooling was due to the meticulously prepared content he would curate to help tighten my grasp of the subject. One such example of this is that he would regularly create and print organic chemistry pathways and quizzes himself to test me week in, week out. Additionally, he would even bring Molymod kits with him to class, which introduced a practical and physical aspect to his education on top of the theory. These would keep me consistently engaged and maintain a degree of interactive learning. He ensured that I always remained disciplined by making me constantly memorise important subject matter. It is his unwavering, sincere commitment to tutoring that ultimately propelled me to achieve such good results in chemistry. For this reason, he is one of the best tutors – if not the best tutor – I have had the experience of working with."
