I am a Computer Science graduate from Singapore Management University (SMU), specialising in AI and Cybersecurity, and currently working as a software engineer at ByteDance. I offer tutoring in programming and coding, as well as O/A-Level subjects. I am based in the Tampines area and am available to teach across Singapore.

I graduated with a CGPA of 3.68/4.0, achieving Magna Cum Laude honours and Dean’s List recognition for AY 2024/2025. I am also a recipient of the Dato' Kho Hui Meng Scholarship. Beyond academics, I have competed in and won several prestigious hackathons, including 1st place at EthGlobal Singapore and 2nd place at the Code To Give Morgan Stanley Hackathon 2024—experiences that have sharpened my ability to think clearly, solve problems methodically, and communicate complex ideas simply.

My teaching philosophy centres on genuine understanding over memorisation. Rather than drilling students on formulas and answers, I focus on helping them grasp the underlying concepts so they can approach unfamiliar problems with confidence. I am patient and thorough by nature, and I adapt my pace and explanations to suit each individual learner. For younger students or those just starting out, I am also happy to develop a simple, structured curriculum if one is not already in place.

Whether you are a student looking to build a strong foundation in computing, pick up programming skills, or prepare for O/A-Level examinations, I am committed to making each session productive, clear, and encouraging. My aim is not just to help students do well in their assessments, but also to ensure they leave each lesson having genuinely learned something new. Read less

In terms of methodology, I draw on a mix of techniques depending on what works best for each student. For conceptual topics, I use real-world analogies and worked examples to make abstract ideas tangible. For programming and coding, I favor a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach—guiding students through building something functional so they can see the direct outcomes of what they have learned. I also incorporate regular questioning throughout the session, not to test, but to check understanding. Read less
