 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ant Wong is a very dedicated and passionate instructor who puts in a considerable amount of effort to ensure that we truly understand the lessons and concepts being taught. He often includes real-life scenarios and relatable examples, which makes learning much easier and more engaging. What I appreciate most is that he always encourages us to ask questions and creates a comfortable environment for learning. Even when we do not have any questions, he will actively question us instead to check if we genuinely understand the topic, which shows how committed he is to our learning. He also went the extra mile by preparing sets of MCQs for each topic that closely mimicked the actual examinations, which really helped us practise effectively and feel better prepared for the exams. I am grateful and fortunate to have him as my lecturer. Thanks Ant!

Other than sharing his interesting experiences, he also gives us insight on what to expect, what to and not to do in this trade. Really fortunate to have him for this course.

Never hesitates to stop and answer questions or go back a topic if you don’t understand. If you’re new at this or coming back to RES he’s your guy. Thank you sir. Appreciate you 🙏

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always felt that course that touches law will be dry and boring until taught by Mr Ant Wong during this RES course. I thought i will doze off during class but i did not! He made the class interesting and his notes were neat and easy to understand. Thank you Mr Ant for your efforts and passion in teaching.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr Ant Wong is a very engaging teacher who makes Paper 1 much easier to understand. He brings law topics to life by combining case studies with his own real estate experiences, making lessons practical and interesting. He also ensures we truly comprehend the concepts instead of just memorising. Glad to have him for a great start to my RES journey!
