"Gary Ang is a maths tutor in Singapore, who is the founding member of numberskill as well as its principal tutor. Renowned for providing H2 maths tuition classes, among others, he comes with a rich educational background. Having graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2004 with a Bachelor’s in Social Science (2nd Upper Honours), he double majored in Mathematics and Political Science, and went on to do his Honours thesis in Political Science. He was a scholar at the University Scholars’ Programme in NUS, a premier programme in NUS for the top 5% of student population and was also a recipient of the Dean’s list. He also holds memberships at the Association of Mathematics Educators, Singapore Mathematical Society and American Mathematical Society. He is currently pursuing his Master of Science (Mathematics for Educators) at National Institute of Education (NIE), an institute of Nanyang Technological University (NTU). “I was by no means a math prodigy. Like many students, I just wanted to get over the schooling phase of my life and start working like an adult. I was an unmotivated, uninspired and uninterested student in school. When I was in secondary 2, I failed almost all my math tests. I remember getting 14% for one of them. I knew I had to do something about it so I went for tuition. My tutor was cool. He not only made complex concepts that I couldn’t understand in school easy to grasp, but also raised my self-esteem in mathematics. I became motivated and inspired to do well in my math tests. Best of all, I was getting good at it. And once I was doing well for math, I started to work on other subjects as well. Soon after that, I came up top in class for almost every math test and eventually scored distinctions for both my E. Math and A. Math in the ‘O’ levels. I went on to top my class for math in JC, and eventually got an A for Math C in the ‘A’ levels. At that point, I realised the importance of good coaching. Without my tutor, I would not be who I am today. I was so confident about my skills in mathematics that I started giving tuition when I was in JC1. Maybe it was because I came from a humble background, and appreciated dearly the extra allowances I received. I worked hard to make sure I could do what my tutor did for me earlier, while simultaneously making sure my own studies would not suffer. Even when I was serving National Service, I had a few students on hand. When I was in university, I taught at a well-known tuition centre part-time. I’ve also conducted several Mathematical Olympiad and Mathematics Enrichment programmes for primary schools. In short, I’ve been teaching mathematics for more than 10 years. I decided to do this full-time after I graduated in 2004. I believe that all students should do well in math. For some of them, all that is required is some good and effective coaching. As long as there is proper guidance and enough practice, good results come naturally. Using this Concept and Practice (CAP) strategy over the years, I have been able to help many of my students become competent and confident in math.” Gary Ang"
