Thank you for bringing laughter and fun into every lesson, from misaiming your plastic water bottle onto yourself and all the jokes you make in lessons. I learnt a lot from your GP lessons as well as the vast amount of general knowledge on global affairs. Thank you for helping me improve with all the acronyms and funny terms you create!

It is never a dull moment in Mr Lim's class. From discussing Indonesia changing its capital city to remembering the funny acronyms to approaching questions, it is always a pleasure to come to class and leave the room with new knowledge.
Through Mr Lim's systematic approaches towards General Paper, the seemingly abstract questions are dissected into logical segments, changing the big ideas into smaller ones and tackling them in an organised manner. This method resonated with me and pushed me to explore new topics like the arts (and museums), leaving me filled with an abundance of knowledge that will follow me past the exam paper.
For all the laughter we had, the times we exchanged history facts and the ever-changing discourse on the VUCA world, thank you Mr Nicholas Lim!

Mr Nicholas Lim is a knowledgeable and patient teacher. Through the employment of a plethora of strategies to tackle a variety of question types for both paper 1 and 2, it has helped to provide lesser reasons for the examiners to penalise you. Mr Lim's sense of humour never failed to lighten up the mood in the class. Thank you Mr Lim!

I really enjoyed Mr Lim's GP lessons as he made lessons interesting and engaging, as well as provided me with a lot of guidance. He always ensured we understood what was going on in class before moving on and had a really structured way of teaching techniques to improve our GP. With Mr lim’s help, I managed to improve from Ds and Es in internal GP exams to a B in A levels. Thank you Mr Lim! 🙂

Thanks to Mr Lim, I managed to improve my GP. His lessons are interesting and engaging and his method of teaching gp makes answering the different gp papers less daunting.
The notes that he provides are filled with extremely useful content that can be used for all gp papers. The notes are also very thorough and it is clear that he puts in a lot of effort in them.
He also ensures that all his students receive the support they need in gp. Thank again Mr Lim!

Mr Lim seems to always have a smile on his face and exudes warmth to everyone. He dedicates himself to explaining complicated concepts and introducing a huge variety of content (countries, analysis of current affairs, historical events...) for GP. His lessons are practical- with effective mnemonics, simplified writing methods and equal coverage of paper 1 and 2. I thoroughly enjoyed our discussions over current affairs, school life and everything under the sun!

My initial venture into the subject of GP was a frightening one. The vast array of topics coupled with the seemingly endless depth of analysis truly made me feel like a man lost at sea. Mr Lim was like a compass, a map, a GPS. Rather than letting his students get overwhelmed with the multifarious approaches to GP, he opts to systematically break down the topics into various practical structures that are easy to follow and apply.
"Atomizing", as he adequately calls it. His classes explore a plethora of crucial content and current affairs which are complemented with the inculcation of various content generation frameworks such as ASPERM, TCHER and SPAMS ME (he has a knack for acronyms). More importantly, he heavily emphasizes the fundamental skills of question analysis and contention identification; a skill that makes or breaks your essays as I see it. Furthermore, the writing techniques and argumentation structures he proposes allows students to write concise and persuasive points that flourish regardless of the questions' difficulty.
As a teacher, Mr Lim's consideration for his students is very admirable. Every student views a question or answer with a different perspective. Rather than overriding their initial approach, he seeks to clarify the fallacies in that train of thought and posits constructive modifications that breathes life into the students original point.
Personally, I was in dire straits after my prelims, performing terribly for my comprehension. Fortunately for me, Mr Lim had the patience to run through with me my errors and misunderstandings through various consultations before lessons. Such too applied to students who actively sought his guidance after lessons. I believe such magnanimous acts are a testament to his dedication, as a teacher, towards the growth of his students.
Once again thank you Mr Lim for helping me clench this A for my once most feared subject!
