graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Master degree in Science (Mathematics) under the Accelerated Master Programme (AMP). He was also the recipient of the prestigious Lijen Industrial Development Medal which was awarded to the student who wrote the best thesis in the Honours year.
Upon graduation, Andrew Yap started his teaching career at Hwa Chong Institution and then later at River Valley High School. He was the former subject head of Mathematics department at Hwa Chong Institution (College Section) and the former head of the Mathematics department at River Valley High School (Senior-high). He set up Andrew Yap Education Centre in the year 2010 and he specializes in providing Secondary Math and IP Math tuition and JC A Level H2 Math tuition. Many students have achieved excellent grades in Mathematics under his coaching.
graduated from the National University of Singapore with a First Class Honours degree in Mathematics. In addition, she was also the recipient of the prestigious Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal which is awarded to the best performing graduate throughout the course of study at NUS Science Faculty.
Upon graduation, Jasmine Yap started her teaching career at Hwa Chong Institution. She taught H2 Mathematics at Hwa Chong Institution (College Section) for 13 years and was the education consultant of the Mathematics department. Her innovative and interesting teaching methods coupled with her caring nature won her back in Hwa Chong Institution the ‘Best Teaching Practice Award’ for the years 2008 and 2010 and the ‘Most Caring Teacher Award’ in the year 2009. Jasmine Yap specializes in providing Secondary Math and IP Math tuition and JC A Level Math tuition.
Andrew Yap and Jasmine Yap will personally oversee the sound implementation of the Mathematics curriculum in alignment with the MOE syllabus at Andrew Yap Education Centre. In addition, the Centre has a stringent selection criterion for the employment of teachers to ensure that the Centre only selects the best Mathematics teachers to teach students at the Centre.
The Centre provides JC Math Tuition and Secondary Math Tuition in Singapore that are most aligned with MOE standards. With the two founders’ many years of experiences in teaching Mathematics and leading a Mathematics department at top IP schools, the systematic and meticulously planned curriculum in Mathematics together with their team of dedicated teachers will certainly add value to students’ learning and build the competencies to achieve a good grade in Mathematics at both internal and national examinations.
At Andrew Yap Education Centre, our notes are crafted to cover the content according to the MOE syllabus. For each topic, we will first go through with students the key concepts that they need to know for the topic, supported with examples and practice questions for a complete understanding. Our notes break down large chunks of information into bite-size pieces, from simple concepts to the more challenging concepts that a student will need to comprehend to do well in the exam.
Our secondary math tuition believes that learning needs to be progressive and only when the foundation is firmly laid will a student be ready to handle the more challenging questions which require students to think out of the box and their ability to apply mathematical concepts to advanced questions.
Students will have to complete a set of practice questions after each topic that we have covered in class. These practice questions will expose students to the different questions typed that they will need to know in order to do well in their exam. We will run through each question in detail so that students are able to have a complete mastery of the concepts involved in solving a question.
Our secondary math tuition provides recorded video lessons to students who miss a lesson so they can transition smoothly to the next topic. This recorded lesson is exactly the same lesson conducted that a student has missed. After watching the recorded video lesson, students are free to ask any questions in which they are still not sure of so that there is no content gap when attending the next lesson.
To say “math tuition is only for the weak” is highly inaccurate, and unfair to those who have chosen to join a Secondary or JC math tuition class to hone their skills.
One of the most obvious benefits of enrolling in Secondary or JC math tuition is the additional practice sessions provided. Maths is a subject that requires consistent practice to familiarise and eventually master the concepts. Enrolling in Secondary or JC math tuition means extra hours outside of school to focus on the more challenging concepts.
During the school curriculum, teachers are usually rushing for time and covering concepts briefly before moving on to go through difficult questions or leaving students on their own to practice questions. With a large class size of an average of 30 students, students are unable to get individual attention from the teacher. On the other hand, enrolling in Secondary or JC math tuition allows students to get individual attention from tutors as the class size is usually much smaller.
