MEET MICHAEL

I obtained my primary and secondary level education in Singapore through a UK based curriculum. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering, became a Cambridge International Examination Board registered teacher, graduated with a Master's in Education, and moved to Indonesia to teach IGCSE and A Level mathematics in an International school.  In the same year, a few of us started a learning centre and provided tutorial lessons and exam preparations for all levels between grades 1-12. There, I designed the mathematics enrichment program and tutored students preparing for the IGCSEs, A Levels and IB examinations.

 

In 2012, I married my beautiful and loving wife, and soon moved to Dubai.  After briefly teaching in a UK curriculum international school, I decided to continue with private tutoring in students' homes, designated locations and centres, and online.

 

As a teacher and tutor, I like to find common ground with my students and build on it.  I then use it as a source of examples, exercises and communication. During classes and sessions, I like to keep the atmosphere light, yet focused - students have enough pressure from school.

 

There are few greater satisfactions in life than seeing a child's face light up - be it through clarification, a growing appreciation for the subject, or through simple relief because he or she now knows how to do the third question.

 

In my spare time, I love to spend time with my son playing, playing sport, and reading.  I’m also a big fan of gaming, movies and TV, music and of course, eating.

TESTIMONIALS

"Fantastic tutor, fantastic way of explaining things. Makes maths very easy. Good guy as well. Friendly conversations and nice laughs in the middle of a hectic maths session."

A Level Math, Jumeirah College

"Michael is a brilliant and astute teacher who helped me learn a number of mathematics concepts that I was struggling with in a short space of time. His impressive preparation for lessons also impressed me. He recognised my weaknesses and helped me overcome them with his clear and concise teaching methods. Without him, I sincerely do not think I would have gotten the A* I got in GCSE and A Level Maths; Thank you and keep up the good work!"
