i have a similar question but for tutoring places like Dr Du, Kurt, Ngo and sons, SCOM...etc. Is it really helpful? Why cannot jr kids can just do past papers instead of going to dr Du?

@Penthmin will probably be a better advocate for Dr Du
It’s because everyone does past papers right, so the effectiveness isn’t really as high as everyone thinks it is … maybe survivorship bias has a role to play here. It’s more so about how you use the past papers
don’t get me wrong though they’re still good to do

stfu ngo and sons lsr
Dr Du is good to introduce you to new concepts. Past papers are the way to go for assessments. If you run out, tuition resources r helpful

Du has such a structured way in introducing topics. They always start with theory (that are made on the day... ie not text that is pretyped to present to the class). Du is expensive, but the stuff u get for it is more than worth it ie homeowrk help zooms, hw hints, etc

probs not gonna continue it. I find it bland asf and the way which ngo presents their theory tends to differ, which ultimately just becomes confusing asf.Bro forgot he also goes to ngo

yea how tf
when Dr Du introduces a new topic, does he give you anything else besides the formula from the Cambridge textbook? If not then i don't understand how students are willing to pay almost $3000/term for 4u math. Dr Du has a very good business model where he can have classes of up to 50 students from selective schools, give them difficult questions and charge them a lot of money.

where tf did u get cambridge from lmfao
wdym? i used cambridge textbook as an example only as theory can be learnt from any textbooks
Agreed. Most of my jr friends started going to dr Du in year 8 (doing year 9) and one of them go to both dr Du and Kurt. Their parents force them to go so they have no choice. Some good students go to dr Du for resources only because they can learn the content themselves.
This is a hard question. If i could maintain the rank (top 5) at jr then i would not go.
no, my parents do not force me to go but i can if i want to. I've been told by people who did well in high school now that high atar does not mean anything in uni as it does not give you any edge at all. Also, dr Du is too expensive and having seen his homework booklets, i don't think it's worth almost $6000/term for both 3u and 4u.
