About The Tutor
Greetings! This is Dr Ng, a dedicated private tutor in Singapore, specializing in Mathematics for Junior College and Upper Secondary, as well as Mathematics and Statistics at the University level.
I strive to create a learning environment that is both enjoyable and enriching, ensuring that every student has a fulfilling educational experience.
More than two-thirds of my students improved by at least two grades, for example, B4 to A2, or C6 to B3, or D to B (for A level subjects) within a few months of tutoring. Of those who started lessons with me at least one year in advance, many achieved distinctions (A1 or A2 for O level subjects) in their final GCE examinations.

Various Levels Taught
University Maths
Mathematics at University and Polytechnic level covers a great deal of ground. I'm happy to help with a good part of it, including Probability & Statistics, Calculus of Several Variables, Linear Algebra, Analysis, Abstract Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics for Year 1 and 2.
Junior College Maths
Junior College (JC) Mathematics is where I've taught the most over the years. I provide focused tracks for H1 Math, H2 Math, H3 Mathematics, and H2 Further Mathematics. All follow the latest MOE syllabus.
Secondary Level
I tutor both Elementary Mathematics and Additional Mathematics for Secondary 3 and 4, following the latest MOE syllabus, with coverage for Integrated Programme (IP) students too. From 2027, these are offered as G3 Mathematics and G3 Additional Mathematics under the new Singapore–Cambridge SEC. It is the same syllabus under a new name.
Why students plateau (My observations after 15+ years of teaching)
3 reasons why students in Upper Sec and JC Level are held back from achieving the best grades
Challenge 1: Mastering the Basics
Students cannot build on a shaky foundation. Gaps in understanding core concepts and weak maths foundations in Secondary School make it difficult to keep up with the new (and harder) material.
Challenge 2: Large Classroom Learning
A lot of tuition is for large groups, so there is very little personalisation. A student's unique learning style gets lost in the crowd.
Challenge 3: Exam Application Under Pressure
Students can understand ideas after some revision, but lose marks when they are faced with exam pressure. Challenging questions they have never seen before can also throw them off.
What I Do Differently
So I built an approach that directly addresses these challenges:
My tuition is designed to do more than just prepare for an exam; it's about building a strong foundation that will equip students for their future.
Solution 1: Expert-Led Diagnosis & Clarity
I focus on explaining concepts clearly, breaking down complex ideas into simpler and more manageable parts. I provide ample guiding examples and step-by-step solutions so students can follow along easily and understand how to apply what I am teaching.
Solution 2: Personalised & Guided Approach
My class sizes are kept small. Each student gets individual attention, and I adapt my teaching to each student's specific needs. In so doing, I create a learning plan that makes difficult topics finally "click". I identify and address conceptual gaps early.
Solution 3: Building a Supportive Space
I focus on personal progress to build internal confidence. I provide regular, constructive feedback to parents, and advise students on how to track their own progress over time. I am easily approachable and make sure students feel engaged and supported at all times.
... and solidified it with a proven process
Your path to mastery in 4 simple steps
Step 1: Discovery
My first few sessions are all about discovering your current knowledge, strengths, and the gaps that are holding you back.
Step 2: Custom-Built Lessons
I'll design lessons that target these weak points, focusing on small wins to build confidence and momentum.
Step 3: Guided Mastery Sessions
Each session is focused on mastering difficult topics together, ensuring complete understanding before we move on.
Step 4: Locking in the Knowledge
I consistently review and practice key concepts to ensure long-term retention and exam-day success.
What My Students Say
Many of my students and their parents have known me for years as "Ejay" or "Mr Ng", so that is how they address me in the quotes below. It is all me, Dr Ng.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you offer group classes or 1-1 classes?
I offer small group classes for secondary school maths, junior college H1 Maths, and H2 Maths.
H2 Further Mathematics and H3 Mathematics are taught one-to-one only.
Tell me more about your group classes (class size, teaching method).
Group classes are 2-4 students for JC level subjects, and 3-4 students for secondary level subjects.
My group classes are of mixed levels, meaning students of different (but similar) levels can be placed in the same class.
I teach each student individually, explaining concepts first and going through guiding examples before giving them practice questions. The teaching style is similar to 1-1 teaching, just that I teach a few students at one go.
Classes are deliberately kept as small as possible to maximize individual attention and teaching.
I also avoid putting secondary and JC students together in the same group class.
What is the location of the classes?
All classes, whether group or 1-1 classes, are held at my centre at Kovan.
Location is Stars of Kovan, 988 Upper Serangoon Rd, Singapore 534733 (5-minute walk from Kovan MRT).
What are the lesson timings and duration of each class?
Each lesson, whether group or 1-1 class, is of 2-hour duration.
Small group Secondary level classes: 3:00 pm or 5:00 pm on weekdays, 9:30 am or 11:30 am or 2:00 pm on weekends.
Small group JC level classes: 7:00 pm on weekdays, 2:00 pm or 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm on weekends.
Timing for both group and 1-1 classes is subject to availability and existing class composition (I avoid putting secondary and JC students together).
Do you offer trial lessons?
Yes, I offer trial lessons for new students.
Please WhatsApp me or Contact me to arrange for a trial lesson.
How much are the fees for small group classes?
Small-group lessons: $840 for 8 lessons (billed in advance). For regular students, the fees for the next lesson cycle are due on the 6th lesson of the current lesson cycle (of 8 classes).
For one-to-one tutoring, please WhatsApp me or Contact me for the rates and due dates.
How are fees collected?
Via PayNow to my corporate UEN or via bank transfer to my corporate account number.
What is the refund policy?
During the first 4 lessons for new students, you can stop the classes at any time, and I will refund the remaining fees for the unused lessons.
Thereafter, I require a two week (two lesson) notice.
Are there classes on public holidays and school vacation periods?
There are no classes on Singapore public holidays, as well as on Chinese New Year Eve. If a class date falls on a public holiday, I will adjust the lesson cycle dates accordingly so that you will not be billed for the public holiday.
I continue classes during school vacation periods unless otherwise stated. School vacation periods provide an important opportunity to revise key topics and prepare students for next semester's or next year's work.
If you wish to go on vacation, I allow a combined total of four (4) class cancellations for June + November/December holidays. ["Cancellations" here means those classes missed without make ups.] For longer vacation periods, I will arrange for make up lessons.
What if I need to cancel classes?
I allow for two class cancellations for each school semester (that is, two for January to May, and two for July to November) for school activities or other commitments.
I also allow for a combined total of four (4) class cancellations for June + November/December holidays if you are going on vacation (for example, overseas holidays).
["Cancellations" here means those classes missed without make ups.]
I will try to arrange make up classes as far as possible.
Is the syllabus aligned with MOE requirements?
Yes, what I teach is fully aligned with the latest Ministry of Education (MOE) syllabus. I constantly monitor syllabus changes and keep myself updated with the types of questions set in national exams as well as those set by other schools. I track upcoming changes too, such as the secondary level's 2027 move from the O-Level to the Singapore–Cambridge SEC.
What materials do students receive?
Summary notes of each topic, topical worksheets, mock quizzes, full length practice papers.
Do you provide exam preparation?
Yes, I provide June holiday intensive revision bootcamps, mock tests and timed quizzes, and intensive revision before major exams. These allow students to build foundations, improve accuracy, and increase their exam confidence.
