Experience/Remarks
Primary 4 to 6 (GEP/Non-GEP/Home-Schooled)
I have 6 years of experience in tutoring Primary 4 to Primary 6 students of varying abilities in both Maths, Science and Olympiad level Mathematics. I specialize in guiding students on how to understand and apply the "Singapore Model Method" to solving PSLE maths problem sum questions. I am of the belief that most if not all of the problem sums in the PSLE can be solved using the simple combination of understanding the context of the problem followed by application of the necessary procedural knowledge.
For students with higher learning abilities, he base his teachings on a Heuristics method called "Cognitive Conceptual Approach in learning Mathematics/Accelerated Thinking in Mathematics", which was developed by Mr Ammiel Wan, Vice-Principle of Rosyth Primary and Head of "thinkingMaths @ OnSponge" which published the popular OnSponge Assessment books. It is currently used by some of the top primary schools in Singapore (SCGS, RGS, Catholic High) to help their students tackle higher level PSLE questions .
