For my GCSEs, I received all A*s with one A. Mandarin used to be one of my weakest subjects and I was averaging a B but after tutoring at ALEC, my grades dramatically improved and I was a borderline A* at the end of the two years. Furthermore, additional maths is a very challenging curriculum with up to 60% of the Maths IB syllabus touched upon. Getting an A* in additional maths seems to be an impossible goal to many but with the help of ALEC and hard work, I am living proof that even the most far-flung of dreams can become reality.
