Thanksgiving
Start-up phase
It has been about one year since we started Mr Khemistry. Looking back in this 12 months, there’s plenty to give thanks for.
- Friends who have been there, done that. Thanks Irwin, for your encouragement, advice and all those chairs. Irwin runs a renowned GP tuition centre, Irwin’s Study at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre.
- My ex-cellgroup leader, David and current assistant cgl Huirong, for their invaluable help with setting up this website. From designing the logo, to copywriting, SEO building blog, embedding video etc. I still owe them a proper meal to thank them for all their help. Thank you David, your friendship is a great blessing to me.
- Speaking of video, i want to thank my ex-colleague Gary Xie from Hancus Media, for producing an excellent promotional video clip on my shoestring budget 🙂
- Friends, relatives, ex-colleagues, students, other centre owners who have referred tuition assignments to me. I’m always amazed by the tremendous amount of faith they have in Mr Khemistry. It’s quite impossible to list out every single referrer here, but i hope to pay it forward by referring students to other trusted educators.
- My wife, who has been very supportive of my decision to start my own business. Suffice to say, without my family as my unwavering support base, i probably would not have started Mr Khemistry.
Thankful for the many life experiences that i’ve had, even for those which felt like a dark valley. It teaches me that nothing of significance comes easily and anything that’s valuable is worth fighting for. I count my blessings daily (i try to write them down) and i’m amazed at how blessed i am.
Growth phase
I am excited to plan for the next phase of Mr Khemistry, as our basic day to day administrative procedures are settled.
We’ll be looking to scale up the size of our classes and our marketing reach towards our target audience. Also aiming to cultivate deeper collaborations with our partner tuition centres and conduct more public talks.
Publishing a guide book on Practical Paper 4, look out for it at major bookstores! 🙂
Personal development
Reading at least one book per month and to take up a teaching course online to fine-tune our pedagogy at Mr Khemistry.
Looking forward to your continual support and encouragement! 🙂
