As former HOD, Mr Lau led curriculum design, established standards, and trained teachers at Hwa Chong. This leadership perspective means he understands Hwa Chong Math at the deepest level—not just what’s taught but why, how it builds over six years, and what mathematical excellence means at Hwa Chong. This insight directly benefits your child through perfectly aligned teaching and appropriate challenge.

“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. Mr Lau 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 elite IP schools when curriculum overlaps significantly. Mr Lau adapts instruction to each student’s school requirements while maintaining focus on mathematical thinking skills that benefit all students.

Mr Lau’s teaching explicitly prepares for H2 Math by developing the problem-solving flexibility, mathematical maturity, and deep understanding that A Level Mathematics demands. Students build strong foundations that make H2 Math feel like natural progression rather than sudden difficulty increase.

Absolutely. Mr Lau has extensive experience preparing talented students for mathematics olympiads. He extends interested students beyond standard curriculum, introduces olympiad problem-solving techniques, and develops the mathematical creativity olympiads require.

The key differentiator is Mr Lau’s former HOD status at Hwa Chong itself. While other tutors might have general IP experience, Mr Lau led the Mathematics department at one of Singapore’s best schools for 12+ years. This leadership-level expertise is extraordinary and provides insights no regular tutor can match.
