Hwa Chong Tuition by a Teaching Team Led by Mr Jason Lau and Ms Yvonne Chen

Finding strong Hwa Chong tuition means learning with educators who understand HCI’s pace, proof-based reasoning, and assessment style. At Future Academy, our Hwa Chong support is delivered by our teaching team, led by Mr Jason Lau and Ms Yvonne Chen.

As part of our teaching team leadership, Mr Jason Lau contributes his experience as former Head of Department (Mathematics) at Hwa Chong Institution to guide our teaching standards and long-term progression for HCI students.

Your child learns with our teaching team, trained in the same structured approach and aligned to HCI expectations. With a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6, students receive timely feedback, clear explanations, and consistent coaching on proof and problem-solving.

Understanding the Programme

About Hwa Chong Institution IP Programme

Hwa Chong Institution stands as one of Singapore’s well-known co-educational IP schools with a particularly strong reputation in Mathematics and Sciences. The school’s Integrated Programme is designed for academically strong students who demonstrate genuine passion for learning and the capacity for independent academic inquiry.

Hwa Chong Academic Culture

Hwa Chong cultivates academic excellence, innovation, and intellectual curiosity. Students develop critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and genuine passion for learning—particularly in Mathematics and Sciences.

Mathematical Excellence

Accelerated pace introducing advanced content early, proof-based reasoning from Sec 2, problem-solving beyond procedures, and consistent high performance in Math olympiads and university admissions.

Co-Educational Environment

Unlike single-gender schools, Hwa Chong is co-ed from Sec 1. Students benefit from diverse perspectives, collaborative problem-solving across genders, and preparation for university environments.

Teaching team leadership

Led by Mr Jason Lau and Ms Yvonne Chen

Our teaching standards and progression planning are guided by team leaders with experience teaching and leading in IP school settings.

One of our team leaders: Mr Jason Lau (former Hwa Chong Math HOD)

Former Head of Department (Mathematics), Hwa Chong Institution

Mr Jason Lau served as Head of Department for Mathematics at Hwa Chong Institution. In our centre, he supports curriculum planning and mentors our teaching team. Depending on timetable, he may teach some classes.

As HOD, responsibilities included:

  • Curriculum Design: Developing and refining the Hwa Chong IP Math curriculum across all levels
  • Assessment Standards: Establishing standards for what constitutes excellent mathematical work
  • Teacher Mentorship: Training and guiding other Mathematics teachers at Hwa Chong
  • Programme Innovation: Implementing new teaching approaches and enrichment programmes
  • Department Leadership: Managing the department and maintaining Hwa Chong’s mathematical reputation

Why Hwa Chong Students Need Specialised Support

Even highly capable students who excelled in primary school often find Hwa Chong’s advanced curriculum challenging. This is not a reflection of ability—it is the reality of Hwa Chong’s exceptionally high mathematical standards.

  • Rapid pace with proof-based reasoning from Secondary 2
  • Problem-solving complexity requiring creative thinking and flexible application
  • Mathematical maturity expectations for independent thinking and connections
  • Leadership experience helps us align lesson sequencing and assessment readiness to what students face in school
Small Group Excellence

How Our 1:6 Small Groups Benefit Hwa Chong Students

Collaborative Learning

Hwa Chong emphasises collaborative problem-solving and discussion. Our 1:6 format supports the teamwork and communication skills Hwa Chong develops.

Targeted Feedback

In small groups with a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6, our educators can review working, spot misconceptions early, and adjust explanations to different learning styles and levels.

Cost-Effective Small Groups

Small groups (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6) offer structured support at sustainable rates over six years of IP plus JC.

Hwa Chong Student Success Stories

Math Transformation

Ethan – From Struggling to Confident

Background: Ethan entered Hwa Chong with strong PSLE results but found himself overwhelmed by Secondary 2. Hwa Chong Math moved faster than he could consolidate understanding, and proof-based reasoning felt foreign. His grades slipped to the bottom third of his cohort.

The Solution: Ethan’s parents enrolled him in our Hwa Chong-focused small group (maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6). Our teaching team rebuilt foundations, explicitly teaching the logical reasoning and proof techniques that Hwa Chong expects.

The Results: Over 18 months, Ethan transformed. His grades improved steadily, reaching the top 30% of his Hwa Chong cohort by Secondary 4. He could construct proofs, tackle unfamiliar problems confidently, and explain his mathematical thinking clearly.


“The structured approach was invaluable. The team understood what Hwa Chong expects and helped Ethan build confidence and proof-based reasoning.”

— Ethan’s Parent

Olympiad Success

Rachel – Mathematical Excellence

Background: Rachel was already performing well at Hwa Chong but aimed for the highest levels of mathematical achievement. She wanted to join Hwa Chong’s olympiad programme, excel at JC, and pursue quantitative fields at university.

The Solution: Working with our teaching team, Rachel found the intellectual challenge and mathematical depth she sought. We introduced olympiad problem-solving techniques, explored mathematical proofs, and encouraged independent mathematical exploration.

The Results: Rachel consistently achieved distinctions throughout Hwa Chong. She successfully joined the school’s mathematics olympiad team and achieved strong olympiad results. Her mathematical foundations were so solid that she excelled in JC Mathematics and gained admission to a university mathematics programme.


“Our teachers mentored Rachel mathematically. They pushed her to think deeply, introduced her to challenging problems beyond the standard curriculum, and prepared her for higher-level mathematics.”

— Rachel’s Parent

Student progress

Student progress stories from Hwa Chong students

Our Hwa Chong students consistently achieve excellent results across Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Here are some recent exam performances from actual Hwa Chong students (student names covered for privacy):

These results reflect the effectiveness of our Hwa Chong-focused teaching approach:

  • Deep conceptual understanding rather than memorisation – students master principles, not just procedures
  • Small group attention with a maximum teacher-to-student ratio of 1:6 – timely feedback and clear guidance
  • Structured, curriculum-aware teaching – guided by our teaching team leadership, with lesson flow and practice designed around HCI expectations
  • Consistent excellence across cohorts – these are not isolated cases but representative of our students’ performance

Common Questions

FAQs for Hwa Chong Parents

Our team leadership includes a former Hwa Chong Mathematics HOD. This experience informs how we sequence topics, teach proof-based reasoning, and coach problem-solving in a way that aligns with HCI expectations—so students build foundations that hold up as difficulty increases.

“Managing okay” often means surface-level understanding that becomes problematic in Secondary 3-4 when content becomes more complex. Building deep foundations early—when material is manageable—prevents struggles later. Our teaching team helps students develop true mathematical mastery and thinking skills that support long-term success, not just current grades.

We group Hwa Chong students together whenever possible. Occasionally groups might include 1-2 students from other top IP schools when curriculum overlaps significantly. Our educators adapt instruction to each student’s school requirements while maintaining focus on mathematical thinking skills that benefit all students.

Our teaching prepares students for JC Mathematics by developing problem-solving flexibility, mathematical maturity, and deep understanding. Students build strong foundations so the step-up into JC feels like a natural progression rather than a sudden jump in difficulty.

Absolutely. We extend interested students beyond the standard curriculum, introduce olympiad problem-solving techniques, and develop the mathematical creativity olympiads require.

One key differentiator is that our teaching team is led by educators with first-hand IP school experience, including former Hwa Chong Mathematics HOD experience. This helps us align lesson sequencing, proof-based reasoning, and exam preparation to what HCI students face in school.
