‘I Can’t Believe This Worked’ — How My Son Finally Passed KJSEA After Years of Struggling In School, and How One Simple Step I Took Changed Everything

 

I had tried everything. Tutoring sessions, extra classes, motivational talks — my son, David, seemed to hit a wall every time he approached the Kenya Junior Secondary Examination Assessment (KJSEA). Each year, his hopes and mine were dashed when the results came back disappointing. Living in Nakuru, I felt the pressure mounting from relatives, teachers, and neighbors. They all had advice, but nothing seemed to stick.

David was bright, but school was never easy for him. Numbers confused him, essay writing drained him, and the pressure seemed to make things worse. I watched him retreat into himself after each failed exam, the sparkle in his eyes dimming. I began to feel helpless, frustrated, and even guilty — had I failed him as a parent?

One evening, I sat in our small living room in Eldoret, reviewing his latest report card. The tears threatened to spill over, and I knew I had to do something different. I realized that all the conventional methods weren’t enough. David needed guidance that was tailored to him — something that could address his struggles directly and give him a strategy he could actually follow. That’s when a friend recommended Dr. Bokko, an expert in academic coaching and child guidance.

I called immediately. Dr. Bokko’s calm and knowledgeable voice reassured me. He asked detailed questions about David’s learning habits, challenges, and even emotional state. He suggested a personalized plan combining tutoring, motivational exercises, and time management techniques. What struck me most was his approach — it wasn’t just about memorizing formulas or rules. He emphasized understanding, confidence, and self-belief.

The first session with David was at a quiet library in Nairobi. I watched nervously as he sat across from Dr. Bokko. The tutor immediately put him at ease, breaking down concepts in a way that made sense. David’s eyes lit up for the first time in years. Slowly, the tension I had seen for so long began to melt.

 

Over the next months, we traveled between Nakuru, Nairobi, and even Kisii for study sessions, following Dr. Bokko’s plan to the letter. I made sure David had a structured daily routine — a mix of focused study, practice exams, and confidence-building exercises. I also made a conscious effort to celebrate his small victories: a correct answer, a well-written paragraph, an improvement in math scores. These moments built momentum.

By December, the day of the KJSEA results, I felt a mix of anxiety and hope. David sat beside me as I logged into the portal. His hands trembled slightly — a reflection of the years of struggle, fear, and disappointment. When the screen loaded, I could hardly believe my eyes: David had passed. Not just barely, but with scores that reflected his true potential.

I hugged him tightly, tears streaming down my face. “I can’t believe this worked!” I whispered. “You did it, David!” He laughed, relief and pride shining from his face. I realized that the difference wasn’t just in the hours of study; it was the strategic, personalized approach Dr. Bokko had given us. That one step — seeking expert guidance — changed everything.

The joy didn’t end with the results. David’s confidence skyrocketed. He began participating actively in class, helping his friends, and even developing an interest in mentoring younger students. I realized that passing the KJSEA was more than an academic achievement — it was a transformation of his mindset, self-esteem, and future potential.

Looking back, I wish I hadn’t waited so long to seek help. Sometimes, as parents, we try to shoulder every problem ourselves, thinking we know best. But guidance from experts like Dr. Bokko can illuminate solutions we may never see on our own.

Now, David dreams bigger than ever before. He talks about joining science clubs, taking part in competitions, and even pursuing engineering. And I know, without a doubt, that the step we took together — seeking professional support — was the turning point that made all the difference.
