Mr Gan

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.
