Words of Praise

"Thye and Vera have made SAT prep classes interesting for me. During my course, their teaching style was very personalized, which catered to my strengths and weaknesses in the various aspects. They are very enthusiastic, and immensely knowledgeable about the SAT 1 and 2. As a student from ACS (I) IB, I strongly recommend you to Studyworks"

"Thank you so much Miss Vera for being a guest speaker at the Newsradio Beyond Education Seminar. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did."
- Kim Chai. (MediaCorp Radio)

"It is with great pleasure that I write regarding my daughter's experience with Studyworks and specifically with Thye. My oldest daughter began working with Thye a couple of months before she took the SATs for the first time, and continued working with him in preparation for the SAT 2 in Math. In short, I found these efforts to be well worth the time and money. Thye had been recommended to me by one of my good friends. There is no question that my daughter's scores on this standardized testing were improved as a direct result of working with Thye. Not only is Thye knowledgeable about math, but also, more importantly in this case, he understands the pedagogy of a subject. He is able to diagnose what a student might not understand, and knows how to explain it "differently" or show a better way to solve a problem. In addition, he knows where to concentrate on the test-taking skills of a particular test. "
- Denise K. (Parent of student in Singapore American School)
