MOE Registered Teacher Who Built Singapore's Most Successful Science Academy

As the founder of Catalyst Maths and Science Academy with my Master's in Science from NUS, I've transformed over 200 struggling students into confident achievers with a remarkable 90% A/B grade success rate. My 10 years as an MOE registered teacher across top Singapore schools has given me insider knowledge of examination patterns and marking schemes that consistently deliver breakthrough results.

Academic Excellence That Translates to Teaching Success

My Master's Degree in Science from NUS and Bachelor's in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry from NTU provide me with deep subject mastery that makes complex concepts simple for students. Having taught across various MOE schools for a decade, I understand exactly what examiners look for and how to prepare students for success. This combination of advanced qualifications and extensive classroom experience ensures your child receives university level expertise delivered at their learning pace.

My Specialized Multi Sensory Teaching Method

What sets me apart is my proven methodology that combines visual diagrams, verbal explanations, and audio reinforcement to match every student's unique learning style. I build rock solid fundamentals first, then progress to rigorous exam practice using actual past papers and challenging questions. Every lesson is customized to your child's current level, ensuring they master concepts permanently rather than just memorizing for tests.
