From 55 at SA1 to 82 at SA2

My son's math was moderate until he arrived at P4. It became my concern as he only scored 55 for his SA1. It was a subject that he did not take keen interest in. I tried coaching him myself without engaging any math tutor, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. At that time, my friend recommended me to Zach's seminar for parents on how to coach kids on Primary school maths. Zach presented the strategies of handling the different types of math problems, and how parents should teach maths to fit into their level of understanding. His presentation was lively and humorous. I decided to ask for Zach's help to coach my son on his math. We were about 5 weeks away from his SA2. Zach only had 6 sessions with him before his math SA2 paper. My son enjoys and looks forward to every math tuition. I believe Zach has managed to trigger his interest for math. He leapt and scored 82 for his Math SA2 paper!
