Currently pursuing a degree in Business at NUS, Mr. Jeffrey Tiang is a dedicated tutor with a strong passion for teaching and a deep-seated love for problem-solving. His academic journey has been shaped by a keen interest in analytical thinking—skills that have proven invaluable in both his studies and his approach to teaching. While his focus is now on Business, his passion for Chemistry remains a cornerstone of his tutoring philosophy as he strives to make the subject engaging, relatable, and accessible to students.
Mr. Tiang’s journey as an educator began during his secondary school years, where he often helped peers understand challenging Chemistry topics. This early experience sparked his desire to teach, leading him to offer private tutoring sessions to classmates. Over time, this natural inclination to mentor grew into a broader teaching role when he joined a tuition centre. Here, he worked with students from diverse educational backgrounds, allowing him to adapt his teaching methods to cater to various learning styles and needs.
His approach to tutoring is rooted in patience, empathy, and the belief that every student has the potential to excel. Having once faced similar academic hurdles, he understands the frustrations students often experience when tackling challenging concepts. His lessons go beyond rote memorization—he emphasizes understanding the core principles that form the foundation of the subject. By breaking down complex topics into manageable, relatable chunks, he helps students not only grasp the material but also retain and apply it effectively.
He is particularly skilled at making Chemistry feel less intimidating, using real-life examples and interactive techniques to spark curiosity and enhance engagement. Mr. Tiang believes that when students understand the “why” behind concepts, they are more likely to engage meaningfully with the subject. This deeper level of understanding fosters both confidence and enthusiasm, enabling students to approach their studies with a positive mindset.
One of his core teaching philosophies is the importance of active learning. He encourages students to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and engage in discussions. Creating a classroom environment that values student contributions and peer collaboration is central to his teaching style. He believes that learning is a shared experience—when students explain concepts to one another, it reinforces their understanding and builds a supportive community of learners.
Passionate about fostering both academic success and personal growth, Mr. Tiang takes pride in helping students not only excel in their O-Level Chemistry exams but also develop a genuine interest in learning that transcends the classroom. His goal is to instill curiosity and intellectual independence, empowering students to approach future challenges with confidence and a lifelong love for learning.
