“Ms. Chew is able to find the right level of math for every student, and I have observed classes where she has students of varying age levels and math knowledge in the same group setting. The one thing that they have in common is all will leave her courses with a deeper understanding of math concepts and more confident in their math abilities.”
– Ms. Yuki

“I think as parents we’re all out for the best of our children, whether it be the best education, the best food, the best neighborhood, and I think in this case bar none, internationally proven, a math curriculum that is superior to the rest in the world: Singaporean style math. So there is no doubt in my mind that kids will definitely benefit from the curriculum as a whole.”
– Ms. Judy

Leeling Chew

Hi! I am a homeschooling mom of two wonderful kids. I am currently tutoring over 100 students in math.

“It’s great to see that they are getting exposure to such advanced concepts while they are in 3rd grade and that they are enjoying doing such things… my message to all the parents is to give it a try and believe in your kid and in Miss Leeling.”
