938FM Radio Interview

CNA 938FM reached out to us to discuss the learning of Math in Singapore. Dr Ng E-Jay (Head Teacher) appears as a guest speaker on their Asia First talk show, where he discusses the difficulty Singapore students face learning Math. As well as how the MOE Math syllabus can be tweaked to better prepare students for real-life applications where Math is required. And finally, what steps students can take to try to master math as a subject.

Our Credentials

Here at The Math Lab, we are very proud of the work we do everyday ― that of training the minds of a future generation. In fulfilling our mission, we have assembled a team of educators who are both proficient at giving instruction & also highly adept academically.

We have rigorous interviews & strict hiring practices; and today our core team of teachers comprises alumni from world-class universities.

Our 2 Promises To You

The Math Lab was founded upon a simple mandate: to create an effective and engaging Maths learning experience for Singapore students. Over the course of our work, we have come to adhere to two core principles upon which our success is built upon ― (1) an honest & direct communication with parents, and (2) the need to keep our classes small.

(1) Direct Parent-Teacher Communication

From the moment you contact us, one of our Senior Teachers will initiate a phone call to speak directly with you as the parent. We feel that speaking over the phone allows us as teachers to more fully understand your child’s needs. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly to an actual teacher (as opposed to a receptionist).

When you join any of our classes (either Group Class or 1-1 Home Tuition), even before the first class starts, the teacher for that class will also contact you directly by phone within 1-2 days. We do this to introduce ourselves to you, and to ask about your child’s Maths so we can better prepare for the first class.

Parents will always have a direct line of communication with their child’s teacher(s), and you may reach out to us at anytime. This takes significant resources on our part, but our experience shows that students make the most progress in tuition when their parents are highly vested in their learning.

(2) Class Sizes Are Always Small

We created our Small Group Classes with a simple goal in mind ― to make Maths tuition lessons highly personalised for each student, yet still affordable to most parents.

Unlike other centres that have large classes of 15 or 20 students. We have kept our Small Group Classes to an average of only 3-4 students (max 5 students).

We do this because we have seen the very tangible progress made by students when they receive personalised attention from their teacher. Small class sizes allow us to create individual lesson plans for each student, so we can focus the limited lesson time on the topics & questions the student needs most help in.

Large classes are economical, but we have seen how a large one-size-fits-all teaching approach tends to alienate the very students that need the most help. Our mandate remains to help students as best we can, and to do so, we commit to keeping our class sizes small and our teaching personalised. 

A Complete Syllabus ― With Step-By-Step Exam Preparation

We spend a significant amount of time & resources to create a syllabus that is both highly effective & complete. We understand that students have busy schedules too. Our goal is to create a syllabus that allows the student to outperform in the examinations, yet does not require excessive studying time.

The Mathematics exam paper can seem overwhelming at first, with numerous topics, multiple concepts, and endless equations ― but we are confident that, if a student puts in the requisite effort, they can master the required topics in time for the exams. Our syllabus is continually revised every year, so that we focus on the most relevant topics and use the most updated lesson plans.
