Chemistry wasn’t my favourite or best subject I took when I was in JC, but under Lau da’s guidance, I definitely saw an improvement in my grades for exams. Most tutors would teach and expect students to understand what is going on, but not Mr Lau. He is, without a question, one of the most dedicated tutors I have and will ever know as he will not only teach what is in the textbook/notes, but go further into explaining the details of everything, so that it is easier for us to understand and put everything together. Lau Da even prepares summarised and easy-to-understand notes for us, which I must say, REALLY helped me when I was studying for any exams. He would even spare some time to provide extra lessons, to explain and teach us certain concepts that we were weak in, and even bring in some props for hands-on for easier understanding. With his assistance, I was then able to improve my Chemistry from a D (prelims) to a B (A levels).

I came from a combined-science background so taking H2 Chemistry at the A-levels was a little challenging for me as i felt inadequate compared to the rest of the class that took pure science at O Levels. However, my then tutor, Mr Lau was very approachable and genuine in teaching. His classes are very systematic and He is very willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we have all the support we need to learn/understand. Ie, preparing extra practice questions for us to try upon request. His extra practice questions are very effective and comprehensive. This led me to top the class several times. He is a very patient and dedicated tutor to his students, always welcoming and encouraging consultations. As a result, I didn’t feel ashamed or afraid or judged of approaching him whenever I need help (big/small). He is also very relatable and warm which makes the learning environment more relaxed and enjoyable. He is very genuine in his teachings which I believe inspired my interest in Chemistry!

Mr Lau has and will always be one of my favourite teachers. His patience and dedication in introducing new concepts and clearing my misconceptions really touches my heart, and I’ve started to like chemistry a tad more after becoming his student. As a teacher, he is extremely concise and clear-cut whilst bringing out new knowledge, making learning much easier for me. I’ve always been the one to shy away from chemistry practices, always leaving them for last as I knew I’d end up filling in wrong answers, marring pages of scripts with my embarrassing misconceptions. However, after much guidance from Mr Lau, I’ve grown to become more confident of my answers with the additional practices he provided, and chemistry has since then become a more manageable subject for me. His friendly and approachable disposition made learning so much more meaningful and relaxed.

Initially, I hated chemistry when I first entered JC. However, under Mr Lau’s guidance as a committed and caring teacher, I could better understand and appreciate chemistry. He used his special methods of teaching, explanations and even provided us with his own summary notes, which allow me to understand the complex chemistry theories easily and apply those theories in questions. His resources provides a clear summary of the chemistry syllabus, which allow me to create links across different chemistry topics. Hence, without Mr Lau’s help in building my strong chemisty foundation, I would not be able to get A for H2 chemistry!! Thank you Mr Lau for everything!! 🙂

Chemistry was a completely foreign subject to me at the very beginning of J1. There was a stark difference between o levels pure chem and H2 chem. at the very start, i was struggling with all the jargons and concepts which seemed so scary. However, Mr Lau has his ways of teaching which makes every single one of the topic and concept easy to memorise and understand. Depsite many of my friends from other classes and other JCs including those in the elite schools who found Chemistry to be a hard subject, i found it relatively easy. Mr Lau is truly a GODLIKE teacher and i believe that no other teachers i met has come this close to his teaching standards. As long as there is cooperation and hardwork, any student can strive under his care. Have FAITH in him to push your chemistry grades up!

Mr lau has been one of the best chemistry tutorss ive encountered in my schooling life. He never fails to encourage his students and urge them to be the best they can be. Always trying different teaching methods, he is able to reach out and accommodate each and every students needs, no matter how well versed they are in chemistry. He never fails to try his best, to allow his students to perform to the best of their potential, most of the time going the extra mile to assist his students, from giving additional personalised assignments or even one to one clarification

Apart from being a great teacher, he is also a better friend, bonding with his students with an innate joviality and exuberance. This lets the lesson atmosphere lighten and become more conducive for learning. I trust that Mr Lau will definitely pique your interest in chemistry as he did mine. I honestly would not have improved my chemistry if it were not for his help

To me, Mr Lau is definitely the best chemistry tutor in Singapore. As his student, I can clearly see that he is a very motivated person, driven in his work to help his students in every way possible. He encourages his students to develop values such as courage to ask questions and seek a open mind. Outside of lessons, he also takes time to speak to his students about study strategies as well as how to manage JC life. It is heartening to know that there was someone willing to lend a listening ear and guide me through this arduous process.

His teaching methods are also out of the ordinary. He makes initially tough chemistry contents easily understandable through creating his own chemistry learning materials for all his students. He even goes an extra mile to provide extra questions for practise and evoke critical thinking skills. This has not only helped me understand chemistry better but also find a new confidence in myself that it is possible to score an ‘A’ in chemistry for A levels.
