I am a highly experienced Mathematics tutor with over 10 years of professional teaching experience, specializing in IGCSE, IB (AA/AI HL & SL), IP Math, A-Level, and university-level mathematics. I am currently based in Bukit Timah and teach students across Singapore and internationally.

I hold a strong academic background in Actuarial Studies & Statistics and have previously served as a university tutor for Mathematics 1A and Physics 1A, where I taught first-year students advanced calculus, algebra, and problem-solving techniques. My experience also includes mentoring high-performing students preparing for competitive examinations.

Proven Track Record of Exceptional Results

Over the years, I have helped hundreds of students achieve outstanding improvements, including:

- IGCSE & Edexcel students consistently jumping from B/C to A/A*
- IB AA/AI HL students improving by 2–3 grade boundaries within a term
- IP & A-Level students achieving top percentile scores
- SAT students repeatedly obtaining 750–800 in Math

Many of my students in Singapore, Australia, Korea, and the UAE have gone on to enter top universities, including Ivy League institutions.

What Makes My Lessons Different

My approach blends structured concept teaching, exam-focused strategy, and high-level problem-solving practice. Students receive:

- Clear explanations tailored to their learning pace
- Step-by-step breakdowns of difficult topics
- Exam-style practice each lesson
- Personalized improvement plans
- Weekly progress tracking
- Confidence-building problem-solving drills

I specialize in helping students who "know the content but cannot score" by training them to think mathematically and apply concepts under exam pressure.

Current Students

I currently teach students from various international schools, including IB and IGCSE schools in Singapore, Dubai, and Australia. Many of them study online due to my reputation for delivering fast, measurable improvement.

Teaching Philosophy

My goal is simple: improve scores quickly and sustainably. Every lesson is structured, purposeful, and geared towards exam success. Parents value my ability to identify weaknesses within the first session and create a study path that produces clear results.

I conduct fully personalized 1-to-1 lessons, using my iPad to write, solve problems, and explain concepts in real time. Students see every step clearly on their screen, as if we are working on the same paper. Each lesson follows a structured approach: quick concept review, targeted practice, exam-style questions, and immediate feedback. I adapt the pace to the student’s ability, identify weaknesses quickly, and provide clear strategies to improve accuracy, confidence, and problem-solving skills. Read less
