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.

P6 is a one-off paper. You will either use the knowledge completely or none at all. In Big 4 their 2 main division is assurance (audit) & tax. So if you decide not to enter audit line , P6 can help you on tax line. Tax syllabus is considered the widest among all optional. A lecturer once told me that P6 is the killing paper in the old syllbus in part 3 but now its already secured. P6 is quite tough in first 2 sittings but after bad feedback examiner already toned down difficulty.

Do not be surprised if lecturer omit certain topics but came oout in exam since all lecturer cannot finish the tax syllabus in depth. The thing is that if you know what you are being tested then its easy, if not then you can sit there for hours mumbling to yourself. There are many tiny rules to remember too like (A x B/4C or 10% of A). The entire tax syllabus is about how to avoid tax & tax for specific industry like trust, investment, vcc.
You need good knowledge in F6 as well.

Lecturer :  Chin Ann (F6 marker), Siva (P6 marker) & Alan Yeo (marker : not sure which paper)

So far as i know, Alan Yeo is not a marker for any papers.. but it's the fact that he knew a few markers for P6. However, he knew the marking as well as the setting of pass rates well.
I attended both Chin Ann's class and Alan Yeo's classes before. so i think i could give my piece of advice here.

Chin Ann is a friendly and funny lecturer. He could deliver his lecture in a lively way. He could give u explanation on a topic in a more simple and easy to understand way. he did write a lot and as if writing for exam. He would create his own questions for practice during class. But the only disadvantage as i mentioned in my earlier post, he couldn't share any practical experience with you.

Whereas for Alan Yeo, sometimes you might find difficult in understanding his lecture, especially when u didnt revise the previous lecture. Hence, this would force me to revise and keep up to date with his lecture. But if u are hardworking and revise everything after classes, u would find his lecture very useful. He's a very practical lecturer. he would share his experience in dealing with his client when he covered particular topic. He's definitely a friendly lecturer too as he would share other student's queries with all students in class.

However, for F6, it would be still acceptable since there's not much application needed in exam. But for P6, i would strongly recommend you to try Alan Yeo provided you're hardworking to do revision after each lecture. Although there're many student commented that Alan's lecture is quite bored, but believe what i experience, he did improve in his way of teaching.

P/S: There's no offence to anyone in this post. I just wish to share my experience with all students here.

Can anyone give me some advice which lectures should I attend his/her class for F9 paper?

Andrew Pang (KSA) - Too fast/speedily and some basis part he will jump or assume student know about it (not my option because I almost forget all the basis part) cry.gif

Daniel Ho - uncertain his future whether at FTMS or others college (anyone have any update on this matter)

Stephy Lim (KB) - never heard before/no profile (any suggestion)

Oviyan IIancheran (PAAC) - never heard before/no profile (any suggestion)

In this case, since you don't want to choose Andrew Pang in the first place, i would say the only option left would be Oviyan.

The reasons being would be :

- Daniel Ho is not going to teach in FTMS
- Stephy Lim from KB would not be recommended as this is her first time teaching F9 if i am not mistaken. FYI, she used to teach CAT papers in KB. U may choose her if cost is your constraint.

However, you may try other lecturers from other colleges.

For me, i attended F9 classes under Andrew Pang. Personally, i do think he's one of the best finance lecturers for F9. For the theory part, no doubt he didn't touch in deep, but he did explain the theory once in the class. i remember i got 70+ for my F9. For me, although he didn't teach everything in depth, but he did cover the syllabus in a wider scope.
