From Struggling in Chemistry to Second Honors: A Student and Parent Success Story

Every success story begins with a struggle. For many Filipino students, Chemistry, Math, and Physics can feel overwhelming, especially in the STEM track. At iKnow Academic Hub, we believe that challenges are not roadblocks but turning points. This student and parent success story shows how the right guidance, smarter study methods, and consistent communication can transform academic performance and confidence.

Parents often trust real stories more than promises. This is why we are sharing Lorenzo’s journey, from struggling in Chemistry to achieving Second Honors, and eventually becoming a BS Biology major in Medical Biology passer at De La Salle University.

A Student’s Journey: From Confusion to Confidence

Struggling in Chemistry

Like many STEM students, Lorenzo faced difficulty in Chemistry. Complex formulas, problem solving techniques, and exam pressure made studying overwhelming. This is a common experience among high school students preparing for college entrance tests.

But instead of giving up, he sought support through iKnow Academic Hub.

Smarter Study Methods That Work

What made the difference?

At iKnow Academic Hub, lessons are delivered clearly and effectively. Instead of memorizing long and complicated formulas, students are taught:

• Simpler and smarter techniques

• Concept based understanding

• Practical shortcuts for problem solving

• Strategies applicable to different question types

According to Lorenzo:

“Instead of focusing on memorizing long and complex formulas, the teachers emphasized simpler and smarter techniques that were easier to remember and applicable to different types of problems.”

This approach strengthened his understanding of key concepts. More importantly, it boosted his confidence during exams.

Confidence changes everything. When students understand the “why” behind the solution, they perform better not just in quizzes, but in major exams and entrance tests.

Preparing for College Entrance Tests with Confidence

Another key part of this student success story is college entrance test preparation. Lorenzo shared that iKnow greatly helped him throughout high school, especially in preparing for CETs. The review materials were:

• Easy to understand

• Well structured

• Focused on essential topics

• Designed specifically for entrance exams

The iKnow website also played a big role. Its clean and user friendly design allowed him to access:

• Mock college entrance exams

• Educational videos

• Practical academic tips

These resources helped him prepare smarter, not just harder.

The result?

He became a BS Biology major in Medical Biology passer at De La Salle University.

For students aiming for top universities, this proves that the right preparation builds real results.

A Parent’s Perspective: Reassurance Through Communication

Academic improvement is powerful. But for parents, something else matters just as much: communication and accountability.

Lorenzo’s mother, Dr. Mitchie Ong-So, shared their experience. Her son initially joined iKnow Academic Hub because he was struggling in Chemistry. With proper guidance, he was able to improve his performance and turn his grades around. Despite the heavy demands of the STEM track, especially in Math, Physics, and Chemistry, Lorenzo maintained his place in the Second Honors.

That is not just improvement. That is transformation.

Why Parents Appreciate iKnow Academic Hub

What stood out most for Dr. Ong-So was the consistent communication.

She shared that Teacher Raymond:

• Regularly provides updates on her son’s progress

• Notifies them when extra motivation is needed

• Keeps parents informed about academic behavior

• Encourages accountability

For parents, this level of guidance is reassuring. It shows that iKnow Academic Hub is not just a tutorial center. It is a partner in a child’s academic journey.

When students lose focus or start slacking off, early intervention makes a difference. Clear communication prevents small issues from becoming bigger problems.
