Our Math Tutors
Our math tutors are dedicated educators, and many have a proven track record of helping students excel. With years of teaching experience and a deep understanding of the MOE math curriculum, our math tutors are well equipped to guide students at every level—from primary school fundamentals to advanced JC math topics.
Our staff are well trained, and act more than just as teachers; they often take the role of mentors too. And often go above and beyond to understand each student’s unique learning needs. After identifying strengths and areas for improvement of a student, our math tutor then tailors each lesson to specifically help him/her. Our goal (as is the hope of many parents) is not only to help students achieve better grades, but also to try to build confidence and a genuine interest in math.
Our math tutors seek to create a supportive environment in class, a nurturing and structured learning space to help students thrive. An environment where students are enthusiaustic about maths, and are free to ask questions and learn from mistakes. A place where students will develop the strong math foundations and critical thinking skills they need for the examination hall.
If you’re looking for a tuition centre that combines proficient math tutors & a conducive classroom environment. We invite you to reach out to us, our team is ready to speak with you & try to help your child.
Our Stringent Interview Process
We specialise in teaching only math. To do this, we continually search for the best math teachers in Singapore to join our team.
Our rigorous interview process ensures that only the most qualified, experienced, and trustworthy educators join our team. We believe that our teachers are primary reason we have done so well as a tuition centre.
Every teacher must meet several requisite standards: all teachers must be university graduates with at least 3 years of teaching experience. Many of our teachers are scholarship recipients & 1st class honours graduates. Our selection process includes a thorough evaluation of their academic qualifications, teaching experience, and ability to engage with students. Each candidate undergoes multiple interviews, where we assess their speaking style, communication skills, and passion for teaching.
Next candidates have to do a real-life demo teaching session, where candidates are put to the test with actual students in a classroom. This allows us to evaluate their preparedness, how they actually engage students, and their delivery of lesson material.
Additionally, we conduct comprehensive background checks (including submitting applicants’ credentials to MOE) to ensure a safe and trustworthy learning environment for your child.
With only the top 3-5% of applicants making it through our selection process, parents can rest assured that your child is learning from amongst the very best math tutors in Singapore. At The Math Lab, we don’t just hire tutors—we actively seek to build the best team of dedicated math tutors who will inspire & empower students to ace in math!
Why pick The Math Lab?
Why choose us? We will try to keep our reasons as objective & as honest as possible.
Our approach from the beginning has always been to help the weaker students. The students that need us most.
Our math tuition classes designed to provide students with the best possible learning experience, starting with our small class sizes to our passionate teachers. By keeping classes small, we ensure every student receives the individual attention they need to thrive.
Our full-time teachers are highly experienced, bringing both expertise and dedication to the classroom. They are committed to guiding each student toward success with personalized teaching and support.
Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to be clean and comfortable, equipped with HDTVs and projectors that make lessons more engaging and interactive. Lessons are structured with short, focused goals that are easy for students to digest, helping them stay motivated and on track.
We pride ourselves on our quick marking and response times, ensuring that students get timely feedback to improve. Weekly repetition and revision are built into our curriculum to reinforce learning, while additional homework practices provide students with ample opportunities to master concepts.
Our lessons follow a structured breakdown to ensure comprehensive learning. Lectures introduce new topics, guide students through exam scripts, or clarify handouts. Tutorial sessions build on this foundation by reinforcing key concepts, and teachers often work closely with students to solve complex problems. Practice and feedback sessions allow students to tackle exam-style questions, after which teachers provide detailed explanations, highlight common mistakes, and offer personalized guidance. For students needing extra help, individual feedback is available, ensuring no one is left behind.
And finally, our curriculum is designed with balance in mind. While we challenge students to push their limits, we also manage their workload so they can genuinely enjoy learning mathematics. Beyond academic skills, we aim to nurture independent learners who are confident and self-reliant, equipping them to excel not only in math but in all their subjects. Every student learns differently, and whether they need more practice or a slower pace, our unwavering support and high-quality instruction empower them to succeed.
Direct Teacher Communication
Even before your first class, our Math Teachers will be calling you (the parent) directly so we can ask more about your child’s math and a bit about his/her personality. This helps us to better understand what materials to prepare, and what empathy (kind & encouraging or more proper & strict ) we should approach your child with.
Monthly Progress Updates
We feel it is important that you as the parent is aware and updated about your child’s progress. We will give you a progress update once a month to appraise you of (1) what we have covered with your child, (2) the lesson plan moving foward, and (3) weak areas your child needs practice in.
Message Tutors Anytime
We are always there for you, and students may contact us anytime. If your teacher is on leave, we will have another teacher reply you within the same day, and call you if necessary. So whether you are just stuck with your math homework or have an examination the next day, we are always here to help you 7-days a week!
