"As one of his students, I can honestly say that he has great understanding of Mathematical topics and can interpret and explain it clearly. Personally he has helped me a great deal in getting into John Monash Science School and I highly recommend students to take his class."

"Dr John Lim helped me achieve the LANTITE teacher test standard in numeracy. I was unsure of why I had failed previous tests, Dr John Lim showed me some of my weaknesses and we worked on these. He also was able to correct my misconceptions and improve on my execution in mathematical problem solving. During the tutoring session Dr John Lim was very easy to get along with, and lightened the mood surrounding my experiences in mathematics. I would definitely recommended having Dr John Lim as a tutor."

"Dr Lim is fantastic! He helped me pass and get a high score into a course I had always wanted to do. Maths was never my best subject and it was then one thing holding me back from pursuing my dream. After a couple of sessions with Dr Lim, not only did I have the confidence to attempt the entrance exam, I actually got a high score in the mathematics component!"

"Maths was my worst subject during high school and my weakest personal attribute. I have likened maths to the troll that prevented me from crossing the troll’s bridge. The other side of the troll's bridge is my gate way to better opportunities to advance my work and private life. Time and time again the troll has stopped me until recently. Thanks to Dr Lim, I am learning, understanding and able to appreciate maths. Dr Lim has provided me with the fundamental understanding of maths by using charts, diagrams, examples and visual aids. If you struggle with maths, then I strongly recommend you do yourself a favor and appoint Dr Lim. Not only is he a nice guy, easy to understand, has a great sense of humor, he is an excellent tutor. My only regret is that I wasn’t tutored by Dr Lim 24 years ago when I was a student in high school. I am now well on my way to the other side of the bridge and I might even make a life long friend of the maths troll. Thank you Dr Lim!"

“Uncle John, thank you so much for changing the way I view maths. Prior to seeing you I had great trouble conceiving and applying mathematic concepts. However, through your lessons, maths quickly became not only my best subject, but also my favourite one. Subsequently, you helped me to prepare and succeed at IB Maths both at Higher Level in year 11 (2012) and at Standard Level in year 12 (2013), where I was awarded a 7. Perhaps most importantly, because of your help my perception of my abilities and myself changed dramatically for the better. You have taught me that hard work and persistence pay off and that nothing is impossible, including academic success. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful for your tutoring services. Hannah Barton (student 2011-13. Received an IB mark of 43/45, which equated to an ATAR of 99.6).”

In only a few months of tutoring we are seeing 100% test results in class, not to mention a new found love for maths and so, so much more confidence.

“Dr. Lim has tutored my son in both Specialist Maths and Maths Methods 3&4 for VCE in 2012. My son is now studying at the University of Melbourne, in the subjects as he wished.

Most greatful parent who relies on your extra addition of knowledge!”

“I would highly recommend John Lim as a Maths Tutor. He is very knowledgeable and at the same time caring and very interested in his students. My son has been seeing John Lim for about 2 months and his marks have gone from a D to a B in Maths Methods. He has managed to restore my son's confidence and interest in maths. John knows maths inside out and knows that most problems have more than one method for reaching an answer. He is able to explain a concept in various ways until it is understood. He makes sense and makes the lessons fun. I have nothing but high praise for him and would not hesitate to recommend him as a tutor.”

“Dr John Lim has been fantastic at teaching my daughter mathematics. I noticed a significant change in my daughter's skills with mathematics. His patience, skill and teaching style was just what my daughter needed. His times were flexible which made it easy for us to make it to lessons regularly. My daughter continually wanted to go back for lessons due to his non-judgmental teaching style and his patience. I was very happy my daughter was learning in a positive manner whilst enjoying it. Because we are friends, he recommended my daughter to complete her studies at Mac Robertson Girls School. I thought that the entrance exam would be too tough at the time for my daughter, but after lessons with Dr Lim, our hopes turned to dreams. My daughter is very happy about her acceptance. I would highly recommend Dr Lim to any student interested in building their mathematics skills.”

“I found Dr John Lim 3 months ago via Google for my year 12 son as his maths tutor. I've engaged a few private maths tutors for him since year 9 but his maths was always below average. Every tutor told me that he has potential but none of them could make him understand and not to mention about passing the subject.He started with Dr Lim just 3 months and now he has so much interest and doing so well that even his school maths teacher told me he couldn't believe it.A big thank you to Dr John Lim. Without his amazing help, my son would definitely going to fail his maths.”

— Maggie at www.startlocal.com.au

 

“Dr John. Just to express my gratitude on behalf of Josef. He did very well for his maths and over all. The teacher commended him that he is grade 7 and 8 level considering he is only grade 6. Maths has always been my weakest subject and intially thought Josef was like that but all Glory to God that we have you to help and encourage him. Wishing you and yr family a joyous Christ centred Christmas.”

“My son has been tutored by Dr John Lim over the past months and I have seen him taking Maths to a new and more confidence and eager spirit. The same with his constant tuition, he has been granted a scholarship from one of the leading private schools in the state.”
