Darshini Shan: Your Trusted Tutor and Mentor

When asked, most students complain that Additional Mathematics is their most difficult subject. Not surprisingly, Add Maths has one of the highest failing rates in SPM. However, there are also exceptional students who score big in Add Maths as well. For most Science Stream students, Additional Mathematics is a must as it is the basics of many career options, such as in Engineering and IT.

What is the secret to score in Additional Mathematics? Is it practice or is it good coaching? As you would have guessed, the answer is both. First, proper understanding of the subject matter is of utmost importance. Add Maths is about understanding important aspects of pure Mathematics such as Calculus and Algebra.

My name is Darshini and I have tutored many Form 4 and Form 5 students for past 7 years. I conduct my classes at my home in Bukit Jalil. For more information contact me at 013-3038199.

Nowadays, students find it difficult to understand subjects in school. There are a few reasons for this such as:

- Big classes.

- Accelerated teaching.

- Lack of attention.

- Focused on other school activities

In a big class, students do not get enough attention from teachers. This is not the fault of either party. Sometimes teachers who are relatively busy have to teach and complete the syllabus quickly, to prepare students in time for the examinations.

This is why my classes are conducted in small groups of 2-4 students only. Being experienced in this field, I have analyzed and devised a very efficient way to deliver the subject to my students. Many students who benefited from my style of coaching have done well in their SPM examinations. Most of my ex-students are pursuing their higher-level education at local institution and abroad. I am indeed very proud of them.
