Since stress is building up with only a few days away from the O's, I thought this might bring some smiles.. If you don't understand the joke, it's time to get back to studying!! =)

Exam Stress

Exam stress is a common problem among most students. In fact, even the most well-prepared student experiences some level of stress. I have seen students facing the negative impacts of stress, having black outs during the exams. Here are some tips from BBC on this topic:
So how should I deal with exam stress?

• Learn to recognise when you're stressing out. A break or a chat with someone who knows the pressure you're under will get things into perspective.
• Avoid comparing your abilities with your mates. Those "Oh my God I've only read Macbeth 17 times" conversations are such a wind up. Everyone approaches revision in different ways, so just make sure you've chosen the method that works best for you. Make a realistic timetable. Stick to it.
• Eat right. Treat yourself like a well honed machine. Fresh fruit and veg. Proper breakfasts. No one can think straight on Coffee and Cornflakes.
• Sleep well. Wind down before bed. Don't revise under the duvet - your bed is a sanctuary not a desk. Get your 8 hours.
• Exercise. Nothing distresses the mind faster than physical activity. Build it into your timetable. Being a sloth makes our mind sloppy too.
• Panic is often triggered by hyperventilating (ie quick, shallow breaths). So if you feel yourself losing it during the exam, sit back for a moment and control your breathing. Deep breath in and out through the nose. Counting to five each way.
• Steer clear of any exam 'post-mortem'. It doesn't matter what your mate wrote for Question 3(b). It's too late to go back and change your answers, so it will just make you worry even more.
• Ultimately, don't lose sight of the fact that there is life after exams. Things might seem intense right now, but it won't last forever.

Happy Teacher's Day 2011

Dear students and parents, thank you for your wonderful gifts. Thank you for remembering me on Teacher's Day. All your blessings and words of
encouragement means so much to me. Your thoughts definitely transcend your appreciation and fuel my passion to help my students with their learning. I can't tell you how thankful I am for all of you. =]

It feels good to be appreciated! =)

It's been a well ten years seeing how my students excel..along the years, they do show their appreciation once in a year during Teacher's day but this is the first time I received something additional. I'm more than happy to know I can help my students. When she received her results...I'm as happy as her... It's always a delight to know that your students do well. That is the only satisfaction every teacher or tutor simply needs. Everything else is really a bonus!

Thank You Parents and Students for your support!

I am thankful to God for His wonderful blessings and guidance.
There's been a lot of enjoyable moments with my students during our lessons.
By God's grace, my schedule for this year is fully packed.
If you are interested to engage my service for 2012, you may drop me an email.
Thank you once again!!
