Learning progress shared by Aisyah and her mum, Siti, in their testimonial interview.
STUDENT SUCCESS STORY
Aisyah’s P2 Math story
Primary 2 · Math
From tears at Math homework to more independent practice.
Aisyah would cry during Math homework sessions, even after her mum had explained a question several times. Her mum, Siti, was also balancing shift work and the needs of several children. With patient teaching in a small online class and games that drew her into learning, Aisyah now understands more and attempts homework independently, with less prompting from her mum.
01 / THE STARTING POINT
What felt difficult
Siti wanted Aisyah to build strong Math foundations before the subject became harder. At home, Aisyah would cry during homework sessions. She might understand one question but become stuck on the next, despite repeated explanations. Siti recalls that Aisyah sometimes looked at her as if asking, “Why are you forcing me to do this?” With several children to look after and shift work to manage, Siti struggled to find time to sit with all of them. Taking the children to tuition was another challenge, so she wanted support they could access from home.
02 / THE LEARNING JOURNEY
Finding a way forward
Ottodot’s custom-made Roblox games helped turn Aisyah’s initial reluctance into excitement about trying classes. Siti saw the games as a way for children to practise while playing. She also valued the small group and the teacher’s patience: the teacher checked whether each child understood, asked if they needed help and waited before moving on. Having someone else support Aisyah’s learning at home mattered to Siti, who could not sit beside all her children to help with their studies.
03 / THE PROGRESS
What changed along the way
Siti now lets Aisyah attempt homework on her own and checks it afterwards, with only a little prompting when needed. Practice feels smoother because Aisyah understands more and recognises things she has learned before. That growing independence means Siti no longer has to guide her through every question. Aisyah stays focused, participates in lessons and looks forward to class. As her confidence grows, she is more willing to practise, with less tension at home.
“Previously, getting her to study Math was very tough. You had to repeat it so many times. But now, if she does her homework, I can let her do it on her own independently, so I just check her work after that. … She knows that she can do it now. So that’s why it’s easier to get her to study and do practice sessions.”
