Student Testimonials

"One of my biggest regrets during the IB was not coming to Promatics sooner... the teachers have a really great grasp of what students tend to struggle with and explain concepts very intuitively. I really couldn't have gotten a 7 without Promatics."

"From a young age, my skills in math were very weak and restricted. When I joined Promatics in Grade 7, Teacher Nicky helped me develop skills in algebra, geometry and calculus, allowing me to be more confident towards math. After starting Promatics, I was able to go from scoring mediocre marks to excelling at a Level 7 in my IB AASL Math exams... Joining Promatics was a decision I'm glad I made, and now both of my little siblings have joined too."

"Having been at Promatics since Grade 5, I can confidently say that my grades have significantly improved, especially in math. The tutors at Promatics are truly exceptional, as they are able to give personalised support that suits my learning style, despite being amongst 5 other people in the class. Their access to a vast amount of learning resources was extremely helpful when studying for exams, as their past papers, worksheets and exercise books are similar to the questions on the actual test. Overall, I highly recommend this centre, as this team of tutors have made a profound impact on my educational journey."

"I first want to thank Carbo for helping me along my application process for college... As I only started to work with Carbo this year, I wished that she could have helped guide me starting from around my sophomore year. She helped portray myself as a more refined applicant than I could have myself. Working with her helped to organize my journey throughout the college application process. Setting feasible and personalized goals to each of her students, Carbo ensures that deadlines will be met. She does a great job of helping students along the college process, helping me to reach my dream school."

"Promatics was an extremely helpful and enjoyable environment to learn in. My math improved quickly and I started to understand concepts I used to struggle with."

"Promatics has been an incredible experience! I never used to like Math, but my teacher broke down concepts in a way that made them seem less intimidating. With encouragement, I gained confidence and actually started enjoying math."

"My experience with Promatics during my two years of IB has been nothing short of transformative. I started IB feeling overwhelmed by math, struggling with a weak intuition for the subject. However, with Nicholas' keen insight into his students' abilities, he guided me to improve at a pace I never thought possible. Nicholas is an exceptional educator with a natural aptitude for communication, making even the complex-est of concepts accessible. I went from consistently earning poor 3s to achieving the top grade of 7 - my teachers were just as shocked as I was by this remarkable turnaround. Promatics offered more than just academic support; it provided invaluable guidance that clarified my future ambitions and helped me develop self-discipline and a strong work ethic. Thanks to their unwavering support, I not only excelled academically but also secured a place at my first-choice university. I am deeply grateful for the profound impact this journey has had on my academic and personal growth. Thank you, Promatics, for believing in me and helping me realize my potential!"

"Promatics has been an incredibly integral part of my high school and IB journey. The tutoring centre not only fosters an amicable and sociable atmosphere; it also maintains a necessary expectation of diligence to ensure the academic success of its students. As Nicky's student, I have been a personal witness to the dedication he has for his students - from providing all the resources at his fingertips to following up beyond office hours, Nicky's efforts in helping his students maintain academic excellence has always been imbued with care and reliability."

"I think the centre was great. The engagement with the students was really nice for a tutoring center and the flexibility was also great. Teaching was great. Teacher Bobby's amazing. Overall I thought it was well worth it and a great tutoring center to support high school."

"Sky's UCAT tutoring, though initially lengthy, proved helpful with extra resources and unexpected assistance on my Brunel application. Your team's support with university choices and the informative spreadsheet were invaluable, especially during stressful moments. Kylie's guidance on my personal statement significantly improved it without losing my voice, even in just two hours."

"I've been studying at Promatics since grade 6. When I first started at Promatics, I lacked confidence in my math abilities. The instructors helped me fill in any gaps in my knowledge, creating a good foundation for me in the first few years of high school. I was then able to learn more complex concepts easily. They also consistently broke down concepts in a very clear manner, talking me through examples and making sure I understood everything, and giving me lots of practice problems to work through. My tutor was able to modify their way of teaching to help me understand concepts better, providing me with more visual ways or mnemonics to learn if I needed it. Promatics was also super helpful with the syllabus content for the IB with their years of experience teaching IB students. As I started the IBDP programme, they taught me how to approach different types of exam questions, helping with both math and study skills at the same time. As a result, I was able to develop as a student, and improve in all of my subjects. I am truly grateful for all the support I received from Promatics which has allowed me to achieve this score in my IB exams"

"Throughout the 5 years Promatics has provided my math tutoring, they have been extremely helpful and have allowed me to improve greatly in math. Not only does my tutor take the time to carefully explain each topic, they also consistently provide detailed explanations towards any questions or confusions I have. Furthermore, the practice work that was provided allowed me to further practice the topics that were taught and allowed me to gain confidence in the different subjects in math. With the team's help, my knowledge in math increased, I became more confident in my knowledge and I was able to gain higher marks in school. Thank you Promatics for being such a great math tutoring center!"

"At the end of Grade 11, my IB score for math was a 4. One year later, come results day, my score had improved to a 7. Thanks to Promatics and Teacher Nicky's perseverance, care and talents, I was able to improve my academic score and my attitude towards studying. I was never a studious kid, I would pick subjects which required minimal revision-English HL and Politics HL, for example. I took these classes in order to decrease revision time and rely on my writing and ability to think on the spot in the exam hall. While this may have worked, there's no avoiding math, it's a subject that you have to study for, where past papers and practice questions are key. Teacher Nicky helped me overcome this weakness by instilling traits like grit and discipline to encourage studying in a structured manner. Along with that, Promatics is not a traditional teaching center, where lessons last for exactly the amount of time allotted. Teacher Nicky was willing to provide support outside of teaching hours, often at crucial times late into the night. For instance, I, along with other students, shared long calls with the teachers to discuss our Math IA, resulting in a significant improvement in the final product. My journey with Promatics went beyond grades, nurturing personal growth alongside academic success and laying a resilient foundation for my future. Promatics has taught me the importance of passion and discipline in work, qualities that reach beyond an academic career which are invaluable and rare."

"It's crazy to think that I've been going to Promatics from the time I was still learning addition and subtraction. In that time, so much has happened and, yet, Promatics has been such a constant in my life. I recognize that I was not the most hardworking student growing up (took me multiple weeks to finish a one-sided worksheet), and I took up A LOT of patience to get through one lesson. Thank you for always staying back to help me through a question even if that means prolonging the lesson by as much as 30 minutes, repeating yourself constantly to help me understand a single step, answering my questions over WhatsApp with zero hesitation, and for the words of encouragement when I needed it the most. Beyond helping me overcome my greatest enemy (math), attending Promatics has helped me find another home and special community within Hong Kong. You've truly shown me what it means to persevere through challenges and, yet, make everyone feel truly cared for. I don't know what I'd do without my weekly classes at the Universal Trade Centre. Even though it'll be a bit more than a 10-minute walk from the center, I look forward to continuing to connect with you and Promatics in the years to come <3"

"Thanks for all the support that you have given me throughout the years. I remember the time I first joined Promatics and the awe I felt when you pulled out papers that were nearly identical to what we were learning in class. No matter how unprepared I would be, you always cared and supported me until I would finally understand. Now that I am in university, I want to say that none of this ever would have been possible without your support so from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! I hope we can continue to stay in touch and when I visit HK"

"It's been a very long time since I first started attending Promatics and met Teacher Nicky. My first 6 years, we didn't really get to interact much but I remember being super afraid of him from all the different rumours I heard over the years. He has been a true mentor not only in math, but also in many other aspects in life, and I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for always having trust in me, believing in me, and never giving up on me even when I wasn't the most passionate or committed. Without him, I probably would not have gotten an A last year and a high A- this year. Beyond math, I enjoyed our many convos whether it was about college, school drama, or completely unrelated topics. As I leave Promatics and head off to college, I will bring the many lessons you have taught me and hope to make you proud someday. Thank you so much for all these years, and your best AP Calc student will always remember to visit you even after college."

"Before joining Promatics, I often struggled to understand certain math concepts and to achieve scores I was happy with. Since joining, I've gained much more confidence-not just in solving problems, but in understanding the 'why' behind each step. The tutors are incredibly patient and explain concepts thoroughly and systematically until they make sense. Every session is tailored to my needs, so I never feel lost or rushed. For example, when I was behind in my functions unit, Teacher Nick taught me the concepts I needed to catch up in just two lessons. I was also given shortcuts for tricky topics and could request extra resources like questions and worksheets. My grades have improved, and I'm very satisfied with my final exam results. If you want to strengthen your math skills and results, I highly recommend Promatics."

"Nicky built my foundation in maths, making me familiar and confident using concepts like multiplication and fractions. He and Bobby then later helped me throughout IB AA HL Maths, going over topics that challenged me and clarifying any uncertainties I had. They also ensured that I was comfortable with exam-style questions to prepare me for the exams. I'm extremely grateful for all of their help."

"Promatics is a very sociable centre where students can really enjoy their studies whilst keeping the intensity needed to do well in exams. The teachers there are incredibly helpful and provide many resources for students to use. Promatics has been part of my highschool journey since year 10, and became a very memorable and important aspect of my studies. The teachers keep the learning atmosphere carefree while still maintaining a high standard with the intensity to match. While Teacher Nicky can be a bit intense at times, he does this with the students' best interests in mind. Not only does he provide support during class time or at the centre, he also ensures his availability outside of class, ensuring all questions are answered to the best of his abilities. I am incredibly grateful to have Teacher Nicky push me the way he has and provide his unyielding support throughout my journey through IGCSE and IB."
