Expert H2 Math & A Math Tutors in Singapore

Tim Gan has 18 years of mathematics teaching experience, beginning his career as an MOE teacher in Singapore before founding Tim Gan Math. During his MOE years, he led his school's Math Talent Management Programme — coaching students through competitions including the Singapore Mathematics Olympiad (SMO), the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO), the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC), and the UNSW Math Competition — and every class he taught exceeded the expected MSG predetermined by MOE. He was also entrusted with mentoring beginning teachers.

Across O Level, A Level, and IB HL Mathematics, Tim keeps his explanations simple and grounded in layman terms. In his experience, most students aren't held back by a lack of effort — they're held back by shaky conceptual foundations that make practice feel fruitless. His lessons therefore begin by shoring up understanding before moving into rigorous practice and conceptual testing, with questions grouped by increasing difficulty so weaker and stronger students can pace themselves within the same class.

He is a firm believer that excellent grades in the O Level and A Level Examinations are within reach for every student, given the right structure and guidance. His Live Tuition Classes add a competitive element that motivates students to learn from one another, while higher-order thinking questions and video explanations let them stretch themselves at their own pace.

Mr Chen is a dedicated mathematics tutor who emphasises understanding over rote learning. His patient, uplifting teaching style stems from a firm belief that every student can excel in mathematics with the right guidance — and that the guidance begins with making sure students see why a method works, not just how to execute it.

An alumnus of King's College London, Mr Chen earned his first Master of Science in Mobile and Personal Communications, followed by a second Master of Science in Mathematics for Educators from NTU/NIE. He also holds a Teaching Certificate in Mathematics (Senior High) from the People's Republic of China. This engineering-to-education trajectory gives him a pragmatic view of mathematics as a tool for solving real problems, and his lessons draw on real-world applications to help students see the subject as more than a collection of static formulas.

Mr He is a former lecturer at Raffles Institution (RI), one of Singapore's top schools, where he taught mathematics at the highest academic level. He brings with him deep subject mastery extending well beyond the IB syllabus, grounded in university-level mathematics — the kind of depth that lets him anticipate where students will get stuck and pre-empt misconceptions before they form.

Within the IB programme, his focus is on bridging the gap between understanding a concept in isolation and applying it confidently in the unfamiliar contexts that IB examiners favour. His lessons move students from passive recognition to active problem-solving, combining rigorous explanation with exam-technique coaching so that students walk into the examination hall both prepared and composed.

Nearing five years of teaching experience, Joanne has had the pleasure of working with students in both group and 1-1 settings. Her approach focuses on creating a supportive and motivating learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges.

As one of Mr Gan's top JC H2 Math students, Joanne has a solid foundation in mathematics and an ability to explain complex concepts in multiple ways. She understands that every student has their own learning style and adapts her teaching methods to ensure they fully grasp each topic and feel confident in their abilities.

Currently studying at NUS, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Life Sciences, Joanne brings a unique perspective to tutoring – not only in academics but also in fostering personal growth and motivation.

Whether it's Math or other subjects, her goal is to empower students, making learning both engaging and effective.

Mr Ng Wei Xiang holds a Master of Science in Data Science and Machine Learning from the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he also completed his Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Mathematics, specialising in Operations Research and Financial Mathematics, with a second major in Statistics and a minor in Economics. This depth of training lets him show students how the concepts they're learning connect to one another and to the wider world of quantitative thinking.

He has taught across O-Level, A-Level, International Baccalaureate (IB), and university-level courses, in both tuition-centre and 1-to-1 settings, giving him a broad feel for how different students struggle with the same ideas. In lessons, he favours guided questioning over direct answers — walking students toward the reasoning themselves so that the logic behind each formula becomes intuitive. Alongside this, he drills exam-specific problem-solving strategies, flags common pitfalls, and trains students to verify their own working under time pressure.

Patient and encouraging by nature, Mr Ng takes particular pride in watching students move from dependence to independence — from waiting for the next step to trusting their own reasoning.

As a recent graduate in Physics from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Yew Wei possesses a robust foundation in mathematics and the analytical problem-solving skills central to both disciplines. His background in Physics has provided him with advanced mathematical proficiency, allowing him to navigate complex problems with a high degree of precision and clarity. Leveraging this expertise, Yew Wei excels at demonstrating the practical application of mathematical concepts within physics scenarios, helping students develop a more profound understanding of both subjects.

Drawing on extensive 1-to-1 tutoring experience, Yew Wei tailors his teaching approach to the specific needs of every student. He recognises that each learner has unique strengths and individual learning styles, and adapts his instruction to suit these diverse aptitudes — focusing on helping students build both confidence and mastery in their mathematical studies.

Mr Ethan Nathanael Tejaputra is a mathematics tutor currently reading Physics at the National University of Singapore (NUS). His university training has given him strong mathematical rigour and an appreciation for precise, logical reasoning, which he uses to clarify abstract concepts and show students how mathematical ideas apply to real problems.

With three years of teaching experience, Ethan structures his lessons around a clear conceptual foundation first, then progresses to targeted past-paper practice and timed drills that build accuracy, speed, and confidence under exam conditions. He guides students to understand the reasoning behind each method so they can apply the same concept flexibly across different question types.

Ethan adapts quickly to each student's strengths and weaknesses. He diagnoses gaps early, tailors explanations and practice to close them, and stretches students who are ready for more challenging work. His lessons balance remediation, consolidation, and extension so that every student makes steady, measurable progress.

Ethan's problem-solving credentials include a Silver Medal (Final Round) at the World Mathematics Invitational 2019, placing him among the top 15% of competitors worldwide, and an ICAS Science Gold Medal in 2018, where he ranked top in Indonesia. He draws on competition-level problems to challenge high performers, while using clear incremental steps and regular progress checks to support students who need to strengthen their foundations. Ethan is available for 1-to-1 tuition across various math levels on request.
