Based in Hougang, but able to travel to various locations or conduct lessons online (experienced with online teaching during COVID-19).

My tutoring style emphasizes patience and deep conceptual understanding, empowering students to master math independently. I quickly identify understanding gaps through innovative, improvised problems, teach core concepts for tackling unique exam questions, and connect ideas to real-world applications to spark genuine excitement and love for the subject.

With around 20 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in JC and secondary school math (I have taught approximately 30–40 students in total).

- Former tutor at tuition centers such as Agrader
- Master’s in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech; First Class Honours in Industrial Engineering and Financial Mathematics from NUS
- ACLP certified (Advanced Certificate in Learning and Performance)
- Guest lecturer at NTU

Students have improved from grades ranging from U to C before I was engaged. Most of my past students go on to achieve A or B for JC H2 Math, and the majority of my secondary math students score As. Read less
