Our Vision
Who we are
"Fostering Every Child's Academic Potential Through Personalised Teaching."
Every student has a different learning style and pace. Each one unique and capable of succeeding in their own way.
As teachers, we are often called upon to deliver subject materials with a narrow focus on examination results while neglecting the learner type of the child.
We believe students learn best and can reach their highest potential when teachers adapt teaching methods to the student through an individualised learning plan.
Ashwari
Tutor
I'm a final year student at Nanyang Technological University, pursuing an Honours degree in Biological Sciences. With a strong foundation in sciences and over a year of tutoring experience, I specialise in teaching Chemistry and Biology to students.
I believe that every student learns differently, and I'm committed to providing individualised attention to each student to cater to their unique learning style. By understanding each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences, I tailor my teaching approach to meet their specific needs.
My goal is to create a supportive and interactive learning environment that fosters curiosity, confidence, and academic success. I'm passionate about helping students achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love for learning. With my experience and patience, I'm confident in helping students overcome their challenges and reach their academic goals!
Hong Ting
Tutor
I specialise in teaching Maths and Science, using my passion to explore concepts beyond the curriculum so that I can better assist my students.
Through my experience, I have found that my students learn best when they are motivated and curious. Hence, my approach is to foster a proactive learning environment by ensuring that my lessons are paced comfortably and encouraging them to clarify any queries. This is also conducive to generating interest in the subject matter, where I can share the real-life applications and interesting facts about the concept to enhance memory and understanding.
Seeing my students progress and gain both knowledge and values is deeply fulfilling. It is rewarding to know that my teaching not only enhances their academic abilities but also motivates them in their personal growth, and I look forward to sharing my passion in this subject with more students!
Kerlyn Fu
Tutor
I specialise in teaching English, Maths, and Science to primary school students. With over 3 years of teaching experience, I've honed my approach, using real-life examples to make tricky concepts easier to understand.
People I work with and students recognise me for my patience and creating a positive learning environment. I encourage questions and make sure students feel at ease seeking clarification.
Previous students have mentioned that I not only helped them do well in their studies but also sparked a real interest in the subjects. I'm excited about sharing the joy of learning with more students!
Dion Tan
Co-Founder
I am an MOE registered teacher with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry (Distinction) from Nanyang Technological University- NTU, and a Master’s Degree in Science from National University of Singapore- NUS.
Using my extensive teaching experience of more than 8 years and across various MOE schools, I have developed a specialised teaching methodology which utilises learning techniques including visual, verbal and audio aids. From the coaching of basic fundamentals to rigorous practice, I have effectively applied and tailored this methodology to each student’s pace and needs, with effective results.
I am glad that I have been able to help more than 200 students achieve their desired grades, with at least 9/10 of my students attaining “A” or “B” in their major exams.
Kelvin Sim
Co-Founder
For over 20 years, I have continuously dedicated myself to developing a comprehensive tuition program that consistently delivers effective results in my core subjects of Mathematics and Science.
My experience in both MOE and International Schools has encompassed tasks such as setting and marking examination scripts. This experience has provided me with valuable insights into the expectations of examiners and the typical formulation of marking schemes.
Throughout this period, I have observed that students tend to learn more effectively when they are engaged in hands-on activities and have access to visual aids, as opposed to the conventional approach of audio lectures and worksheet-based classroom teaching.
Furthermore, I have been fortunate to collaborate with like-minded teachers who share our commitment to going above and beyond to provide support to our students, both within and outside the classroom.
