Be it physical or organic chemistry, Mr Low Kwee Peng is able to break down complex questions step by step and help us tackle it when we are stuck. Through his method of teaching, I learnt what the thinking process for different question types is like and how to solve it logically and not be shocked by the overwhelming information given to us. I used to be intimidated by higher-order questions like elucidation but after ample practice on similar questions that are carefully compiled over the years, including older questions beyond the TYS and other schools, I became familiar with the style of questions and chemistry became more enjoyable. Mr Low checks in with us from time to time on our school’s progress in chemistry to make sure we get adequate help if needed. Sometimes he also rewards us with little treats to give us the encouragement we need. More importantly, he is approachable and open to questions be it F2F or via WhatsApp. I like how he makes us think aloud before correcting us, instead of simply giving us the answer. All in all, Mr Low is able to train us into critical thinking students that know how to apply chemistry concepts swiftly and accurately, an essential skill needed to effectively deal with the tight time duration during exams.
