Experience and Dedication: I am extremely patient, observant and have strong capability to understand the reasons/basis why a student did not learn properly! Then we can motivate the student, the learning will follow thereafter. My nudging method of teaching, together with study journal, the study process/method will allow all weak students to improve tremendously. Give it 3 months and you will see an improved version of the result! I am very STRONG in Math and Science, with Bachelor of Engineering(2nd Class Upper Honors) from NUS (where I excel in Applied Math and Science in Engineering Problem and Solution). I was a Senior Engineering Director in Global 50 US Technology MNC, and have patents to my name. I have STRONG passion for teaching the Youngs, and have been teaching for the past 35 years (including my own children, whom went to IP program in HCI), and my knowledge of the subjects is MUCH BETTER than the MOE teachers It is BEST for the student to have me as the best teacher for the Math/Science Tuition My own 2 children were in IP Program and doing well thus far, because of strong foundation I set for them. (Son was in HCI, and daughter in Cedar IP). I have strong passion to teach, so please try and you will see the effectiveness. My ONLY focus is: The student’s learning the subject truly, improvement and success! ALL Students improved min. 1 Grade within 2-3 months What your child will receive: ✅ Proprietary Course Notes (Tested & Proven): Exclusive, self-developed materials that simplify complex concepts and are unavailable elsewhere. ✅ Individualised Worksheets: Custom-built practice sheets that target your child's exact weak points—no time wasted on things they already know. ✅ "Show, Don't Tell" Pedagogy: Materials designed to trigger "Aha!" moments, developing crucial metacognitive skills and deep understanding. ✅ Exam Answering Technique Mastery: We teach the specific "Keyword Hacks" and answering structures (PEEL, CER) required to score full marks in PSLE/O-Levels. ✅ Guided Learning Journal: A structured tool for students to track progress, reflect on mistakes, and take ownership of their success. My Teaching Methodology: High EQ & High Tech • Nudging to Success: Using high EQ and empathy, I diagnose learning gaps instantly. I use "nudging" techniques to build metacognition (learning how to learn), ensuring students find the answers themselves. • Tech-Integrated Learning: As a skilled coder, I create proprietary animated slides and interactive multimedia. This ensures students visualize complex concepts clearly. • Guaranteed Results: My track record includes consistent grade improvements within 3 months, with the majority of students securing AL1/AL2 and entering IP, IB, and NUS High programs, and prestigious universities globally.   Lesson Proper Importantly, a stressed brain cannot learn. That is why my lessons are designed to be an enjoyable, high-engagement experience where anxiety is replaced by curiosity. Optimized Individual Pacing: It is not the "one-size-fits-all" approach. Every student is unique. • Customized Learning Roadmap for each child. • The pace is meticulously calibrated: fast enough to keep them challenged, but supportive enough to ensure they never feel overwhelmed. The Result: Your child learns in a "Flow State"—fully engaged, interactive, and productive. This creates the optimal environment for maximum learning outcomes and grade improvement. ________________________________________ Subjects that I covered: Primary (PSLE) Math and Science – ALL Level Secondary (O Level / SEC-2027) - (All Level, Lower Sec, Foundation, Combined, G1/G2/G3) Science Math Additional Math Physics Chemistry   I am not just a tutor; I am an accomplished Senior Engineering Director, a proven academic high-achiever, and a passionate mentor dedicated to unlocking your child's full potential in Math and Science. My Credentials: A Foundation of Excellence • Top-Tier Education: Honors Degree (B.Eng) from the National University of Singapore (NUS). • Proven Academic Record: Scored Straight 'A's across all subjects in both GCE O-Level and A-Level examinations. I know what it takes to master the curriculum because I have done it myself. • Corporate Leadership: As a Senior Engineering Director at a renowned MNC with multiple patents to my name, I bring a level of analytical rigor that goes beyond standard tuition. Why This Matters for Your Child • Beyond Theory: I don't just teach formulas. I demonstrate how Math and Science are applied in real-world engineering and technology. This makes learning relevant, engaging, and "sticky." • Analytical Thinking: I instill the critical problem-solving skills used by top-tier professionals, preparing your child not just for exams, but for future careers. • The Achiever Mindset: I model success. By being intelligent, kind, and committed, I show students that the pursuit of excellence is an enjoyable journey, not a stressful chore.
