F6 :
Siva Nair (FTMS) & Alan Yeo (KSA) had both become marker for ACCA tax paper b4 so both are really experience on teaching technics & tactics on tax. You can refer them as tax speciallist.
However their method is more suitable for those who have some exposure in tax. They can relate student on advance stuff but fall short on the foundations of tax & "student friendly approach". Basicly :
- They are quite fast (for students comprehension)
- Not systematic : For tax its the most difficult to teach in the beginning since you need to understand everything about format , income & expense rule, relief, donations.....etc before computing the tax.
Since teaching more than 20 years & only teaching tax they do take some teaching for granted as everything has become very easy for them but it may not be so for student. They teach from their own thick text book.
Chin Ann is anew lecturer (relatively speaking) but has been teaching for 10 years or so. He has been prize winner as an acca student & his methods are more student friendly since he understand students wekaness & incompatability. he can teach the fundamental & core area very well but have a knack of spotting question but he did teach entire syllabus to student. I heard that he had been "invited" to become marker for F6.
F7 :
Joe Fang method is created by himself. A friend of mine who has been to his class said that he has personally shown his methods to the examiner when he came to MYS & they said the method is acceptable & he has used it ever since.
Since he used his own method so he also publish the questions on his textbook based on his style of answer. He will take / photostat the student best answer based on his style as the answer for his textbook. A friend of mine said that his style can make student to score in F7 but not anymore in P2 leading many to switch to another lecturer in P2 like Keith Farmer or Haneef.
A friend have shown me his techniques & its almosy like haveing 3 columns : 1 for parent, 1 for sub, 1 for the consolidation total (group). Then you need to cross out irreleavant figures & add the notes figures. This method will give you a BALANCED F/S & quick calculation. However there are very few working or none at all. So if you are correct in adjustments you get maximum marks but if you are wrong you get 0.
He can make you pass but cannot make you score.
F8 :
There are also Sheila John in MCO another good audit lecturer. She has the best notes avaliable but you need to read it all for good effect.
Phillip Woo is the more practical lecturer & will share his own experience making the class livelier.
Chin Ann is the more student approach which means he can translate difficult stuff to student language.
Personal note : Chin Ann has a large based of Mandarin speaking students as he speaks mandrin from time to time but he will stick with english for lecture. So if there is a Chinese blog / forum you may hear his name more often
Thanks so much for the long reply. Do you mind me Pm-ing you for further discussion Siva Nair (FTMS) & Alan Yeo (KSA) had both become marker for ACCA tax paper b4 so both are really experience on teaching technics & tactics on tax. You can refer them as tax speciallist.

I definitely agree Chin Ann is a dedicated and friendly lecturer. He could speak cantonese, mandarin and english well. So u won't find any problems in approaching him and asking him questions.
But one thing u need to take note, although he's considered as an "experienced lecturer" after so many years of teaching, but one of the drawbacks about him is that he's lack of practical experience.
Believe it or not, u could make a comparison after attending Philip Woo and Parmindar's classes. You would then find that Chin Ann couldn't provide you with some real life scenario and examples.
After reading so many "Good feedback" about Chin Ann, i think i should also state this " little not-so-good feedback" about him.
Hope everyone could make a better choice of lecturers after taking into account advices given by forummers.
It is good to let us know about his drawbacks too so that we can choose the most suitable lecturers around But one thing u need to take note, although he's considered as an "experienced lecturer" after so many years of teaching, but one of the drawbacks about him is that he's lack of practical experience.
