Effective ways of teaching and strong encouragements by the teachers led to our successes”
Nurul attributed “Both my parents are teachers. Whenever I felt down, I could count on them to be supportive and encouraging. My friends and I are close and we helped each other with exam preparation” Xinyan, who always had a strong interest in math said “The lecturers were very experienced and taught us well which helped a lot”.
