Meet Our Math Tutors

Ms Jolyn is the founder of Math Academy and has 20 years of experience teaching Secondary E Maths and A Maths. As a former MOE teacher trained at NIE, she has accumulated deep insight into how national exam papers are set — and she uses that knowledge directly in class to give students a real competitive edge.

Her classes are built around a set of copyrighted lecture notes she developed herself, where each chapter’s questions are organised by key focus area. This structure removes the ambiguity students typically struggle with, replacing it with systematic problem-solving that builds genuine confidence. She engages students through Inquiry Based Learning, keeps class sizes deliberately small, and remains closely involved in every student’s progress.

Mr Ian holds a First Class Honours in Pure Mathematics from NUS — awarded to the top 3–5% of the cohort — and was invited to conduct mathematical research at Caltech in the USA. Despite coming from neighbourhood schools (Bukit Panjang Govt High and Anderson JC), his results were the product of a disciplined, systematic approach to learning that now shapes every set of notes his students receive.

In his H2 Maths classes, Ian focuses on helping students recognise question types, apply structured thinking under exam conditions, and approach unfamiliar problems without panic. Notes and tutorials are updated each year to reflect current A Level trends. Closer to the A Level examinations, a weekly topical revision class consolidates all key concepts — with students consistently achieving A grades or a 3–4 grade improvement.

Ms Raine is the Head Tutor for Lower Secondary Mathematics at Math Academy. With 15 years of experience and a personal, nurturing teaching style, she ensures that every Sec 1 and 2 student builds the mathematical foundation they need — not just to pass their exams, but to progress confidently into Upper Secondary and beyond.

She keeps class sizes at a maximum of 7 students so that she can closely track each student’s understanding, address individual concerns promptly, and create an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes. Her teaching goes beyond problem-solving — she guides students to identify patterns, learn from errors, and develop strategies they carry forward. Her students often share that they come to genuinely enjoy Maths under her guidance.
