Mrs cheong has been one of the most dedicated and encouraging teachers, who believes strongly that each and everyone of us has the capacity to excel in economics. Despite our sub-par results for some tests, she never gives up on us. Instead, she encourages us not to be demoralised and has worked effortlessly coming up with ways to help us improve. She has no qualms about letting us attend extra lessons if space permits and would even sacrifice some of her personal time for consultations during exam season. Her passion and drive hence motivates us to strive toward greater heights.
Mrs Cheong has her way of making lessons fun and engaging while effectively teaching us the concepts. She is very knowledgable and well read so she feeds us with lots of global affairs to make up for our lack of newspaper reading. Every lesson, she would intentionally weave in relevant examples with the topic she's covering and this definitely helps add rigour to our writing. For topics that are more content heavy, she breaks it down for us by giving us an analogy. She would make sure everyone understands before moving on, stressing the importance of internalising her teachings. By incorporating these methods in her teaching, she makes economics much more fun and digestible. She has indeed sparked our interest in economics and inspires us to read further to expand our scope for evaluation.
Furthermore, Mrs Cheong speaks to us not just in the capacity of a teacher, but as well that of a friend. She genuinely cares for our well-being. Whenever she sees us being gloomy and stressed, she would share some personal stories to liven the spirit of the class. These stories never fail to put a smile on our faces and offer us temporary respite from our hectic lifestyles- juggling work and other commitments.
In my 2 year journey with Mrs Cheong, I've learnt so much both in terms of academics and life skills. I am genuinely thankful to have met such a kind and wonderful teacher that is will

Mrs Cheong is a very patient teacher who will explain economics concepts very clearly in class. Even though economics is a humanity subject which can be very dry sometimes, Mrs Cheong could always engage us in class and make the lesson very interesting for all of us.
Being in Mrs Cheong's class is a privilege for me personally, apart from teaching the usual concepts, Mrs Cheong will always go beyond and teach more real-life examples and modern world economics problem, which further strengthen the economics concept in our mind.
Apart from lesson times, Mrs Cheong also take her personal time and look through our scripts and explain our mistakes to us question by question. I really appreciate her help when she went through my midyear papers with me, which gave me more hopes for economics.
Mrs Cheong has helped me improve my economics from a S-grade in midyears to a B-grade in Promotion examination. However I believe that grade is one thing but most important is that she has promoted my interest for Economics, which sparked my interest to take up H3 economics for Jc2 year.

Thank you Mr Ng for caring for me since Day 1. I have been feeling nostalgic for the past few weeks, which made me to write you this.
Your thoughtfulness is a gift I will always treasure. You constantly encourage me to not give up and work harder. These comments really do spoil me on and I will surely miss all of this. Although I only joined you in meet mid sec 2, I will really miss spending Monday nights and Saturday evenings learning maths from you.
I would also like to take the chance to thank you for asking me to come in for extra lessons that have really improve my maths. Without your guidance, to be very honest, I do not think I would have come this far. Your humorous jokes and stories really make it a conducive place for learning.
Furthermore thank you for also cultivating good values within me throughout this journey. I have no words to express how thankful I am for you and I will make sure to remember you for you have helped me so much. I will give it all for the O levels and make you proud.

When I first joined RMSS, I was surprised at how they implement presentations into lessons and although I didn't feel scared to present in front of people I didn't know, sometimes I dreaded it as it would mean that I would have to do every single question for homework. However, it helped me to be more disciplined in my work and my presentations. I also really liked the feeling that my friends that are watching me present would always be there to support me and help me if I got certain parts wrong.
I am really grateful to Mr Lee for always being there to provide me with guidance and helping me to correct wrong steps and improve from my workings. I really enjoyed being in Mr Lee's class as his classes were always a balance of seriousness & fun! His lessons helped me to pace my learning and slowly get into exam mood especially through the weekly tests.
I used to always panic and have to quickly read through the notes before the tests started but after a while, I no longer needed to depend on my notes as much as the formulas were slowly inside my head and it helped me to not be so stressed when my school teachers scheduled weekly tests as well. Overall, I really enjoyed classes with Mr Lee and am really thankful for all the efforts he had put in to help me improve and for always helping me during presentations and making funny jokes!

Before I joined RMSS, the grades I got for math was around borderline fail or pass, I wasn't doing very good for math. That was when my parents and I decided to join RMSS in hope that my results for math will improve. I first came in when I was sec 1 and I met Mr Lee, he was rather strict at the start and most of us new he wasn't the kind to be messed around with, but his character as well as passion for teaching was what made the difference in making us better, more responsible and disciplined students. In a matter of a few months, he pushed my grades up from D7 to A1 for my Sec 1 SA2, and from then on, I have always been with Mr Lee and RMSS.
In class, we will have to participate in a segment called ?presentation ? where we are call up to the board to present our solutions to the class, this not only helps us with our confidence but it also helps Mr Lee identify any misconceptions and understand our way of thinking when we attempt the questions. Mr Lee will correct us on the spot to prevent our misconceptions from snowballing into bigger problems.
Mr Lee is also very hardworking, even though he has to teach other classes, often he would allow us to come for class early to revise for up coming class tests or to revise topics. As such, he is putting in 2 times the effort by running 2 classes at once. As the years go by, Mr Lee has become less strict as at sec 4, we are able to take responsibility of our own learning, for me, this is partially because of the way Mr Lee has taught me since I was 13.
In my time in RMSS, I have forged many bonds with my classmates as well as Mr Lee, RMSS is like a family where we share common experiences while working toward a common goal.

在我还未进入RMSS补习班前，我的数学成绩一直濒临不及格。在同学的推荐下，我抱着"试一试"的心态加入了李老师 (Mr John Lee) 的班。李老师非常有耐心地带着我进入状态，让我能够跟上班上其他同学的进度。
I still remember when I enrolled into Ms Lim's Chemistry's class, I was certain that my grades for chemistry would improve as it was likewise with my math. To be very honest, in the first few lessons, I hardly comprehended anything she said as my understanding of chemistry was minute. I was then unassertive of whether I would still be able to ameliorate my Chemistry standard. However, with Ms Lim's motivation and encouragement over the last 9 months, I started to feel that my chemistry was improving gradually. I have always been a very vexatious student, yet she would still spend time and effort to make sure I apprehended what she said. Not only that, she rewards her students for doing well or improving. All in all, I think that Ms Lim is an appreciable teacher and that she should be more appreciated for the amount of effort she puts in to teach her students.

Mr Tham has a different approach to lessons, making lessons feel less dreadful. Mr Tham is very patient with his students and always use very unique methods to help us remember formulae and key content.
With his methods, I am able to remember formulae a lot better and find it a lot easier to apply them in questions.
Mr Tham often share his own experiences as a student with the class and use his past experiences to motivate us to work harder. Under his guidance, I have been achieving consistent A grades for my combined science, a huge improvement from C6-D7 grades previously.
