Tuition/Teaching Experience
My Portfolio/Experience.
I have been tutoring for more than 15 years since my undergraduate and Master degree days in NUS, specializing mainly in mathematics.

I believe the key to achieving good grades is understanding and having a solid foundation. Hence, I always train my students to pen down summary notes after learning each topic.

Teaching Techniques.
Other than practicing past year papers, my teaching techniques helps students to understand key Mathematics concepts and remember formula more effectively using basic Principle of Memory/ Mind Mapping.

To enhance my students learning, I also complement my teaching with online learning via ZOOM/Teams and effective internet resources. These techniques are very well-received by my students.

Commitment / Other Details
I am a Full-time Singaporean Tutor who specializes in Maths tuition. I hold a Bachelors Degree (Honors) from NUS and a Masters Degree under a scholarship awarded by NUS. I graduated from Dunman High School and Temasek Junior College and I scored As for all Math subjects. I am available on both weekdays and weekend (9am - 9pm).

Teaching gives me great satisfaction and I believe the right teacher makes a great difference towards the students learning.

Majority of my students make good progress in not just the grades, but also the attitude and studying method. After all, todays education is not only about academics. Parents believe that instilling the right character and values are equally important too.

My academic certificates are available upon request.
