The Think Teach Story

As a found­ing team with back­grounds in Law, Finance, and Engi­neer­ing, we’ve spent our entire lives fig­ur­ing out the mechan­ics of suc­cess.

While nav­i­gat­ing our own aca­d­e­m­ic jour­neys as schol­ars and doc­tor­al can­di­dates, we realised that the “stan­dard” way of learn­ing sim­ply was­n’t enough. We achieved suc­cess because we devel­oped our own sys­tems of smart think­ing and smart teach­ing, strate­gies that took us to the top of our respec­tive fields.

But we looked at the cur­rent tuition land­scape and saw a gap. We saw stu­dents work­ing hard but not smart, and par­ents search­ing for results that just weren’t being deliv­ered.

That’s why we start­ed Think Teach Acad­e­my. It is the “lev­els-above” edu­ca­tion­al expe­ri­ence we wish we had when we were stu­dents.

We don’t just hire teach­ers; we hand-pick and train them to meet the exact, uncom­pro­mis­ing stan­dards we set for our­selves. We ensure every les­son meets the bar we’ve set so that you can have the peace of mind that your child is get­ting the best pos­si­ble out­come.

But we also know that suc­cess is about more than just a grade. Because of our pro­fes­sion­al back­grounds, we know that true suc­cess depends on a child’s abil­i­ty to com­mu­ni­cate their per­son­al brand. That’s why we offer spe­cialised DSA con­sul­ta­tion and pub­lic speak­ing workshops—to give your child the edge that tra­di­tion­al teach­ing alone can’t pro­vide.

It’s not easy to raise a child today. We’re here to give you the con­fi­dence that your child is in the best hands, and to walk this jour­ney toward suc­cess togeth­er.

Algene

Algene LL.B. (Hons) LL.M.

Co-Founder, Chief Education Officer

Algene is a for­mer prac­tis­ing lawyer and a dou­ble-degree hold­er from the Sin­ga­pore Man­age­ment Uni­ver­si­ty (SMU) upon grad­u­at­ing from Anglo-Chi­nese Junior Col­lege. He was a proud recip­i­ent of the pres­ti­gious Uni­ver­si­ty Schol­ars Pro­gramme Schol­ar­ship, a dean’s lis­ter as well as a win­ner of count­less of com­pe­ti­tions and awards in Law, and cur­rent­ly pur­su­ing a PhD in law.

While Algene topped his Mas­ter of Laws cohort and went on to prac­tise law in two ‘Big Four’ law firms in Sin­ga­pore, he knew that teach­ing was always his fore­most pas­sion. This call­ing even­tu­al­ly led to a career switch and Algene found him­self teach­ing at a top gov­ern­ment school before set­ting up Think Teach Acad­e­my.

Upon found­ing Think Teach, Algene’s desire to shape and empow­er stu­dents only grew. He is a firm believ­er that smart study­ing strate­gies are the keys to aca­d­e­m­ic suc­cess. He has spear­head­ed the cur­ricu­lum and devel­op­ment team to pro­duce teach­ing and les­son mate­ri­als that reflect this very belief. Algene is always in search of nov­el and inno­v­a­tive ways to improve the stu­dent expe­ri­ence. It is his fer­vour for inspir­ing young minds that spurs him and noth­ing makes him hap­pi­er than see­ing a stu­dent enabled to suc­ceed and empow­ered to excel.

Director, Chief Executive Officer

Dr. Boon attend­ed Impe­r­i­al Col­lege Lon­don under a high­ly com­pet­i­tive SAF schol­ar­ship where he com­plet­ed his under­grad­u­ate and post­grad­u­ate stud­ies in Mate­ri­als Sci­ence and Nuclear Engi­neer­ing. After serv­ing as a naval offi­cer with the Repub­lic of Sin­ga­pore Navy for close to 6 years, Dr Boon embarked on and com­plet­ed a PhD in Engi­neer­ing with the Nation­al Uni­ver­si­ty of Sin­ga­pore. As a PhD can­di­date, he was award­ed the pres­ti­gious NUS Grad­u­ate School for Inte­gra­tive Sci­ences & Engi­neer­ing (NGS) PhD Schol­ar­ship for research of pas­si­vat­ed con­tact solar cells sup­port­ed by the Nation­al Research Foun­da­tion, Prime Min­is­ter’s Office Sin­ga­pore.

Dr. Boon has since joined the stel­lar team at Think Teach Acad­e­my. He leads the aca­d­e­m­ic team in the plan­ning and exe­cu­tion of the acad­e­my’s edu­ca­tion­al philoso­phies, ped­a­gogy and cur­ricu­lum. Dr Boon believes in incul­cat­ing in every stu­dent the abil­i­ty to think and learn smart, and the devel­op­ment of teach­ers to teach smart. Togeth­er with the aca­d­e­m­ic man­age­ment team, Dr. Boon ensures excel­lent exe­cu­tion of all pro­grammes, with high qual­i­ty class expe­ri­ences and les­son mate­ri­als for stu­dents.

Shou Yee B.B.M. (Hons) B.Sc (Econs) (Hons)

Co-Founder, Chief Strategy Officer

Shou Yee is an alum­nus of the Sin­ga­pore Man­age­ment Uni­ver­si­ty (SMU), hav­ing grad­u­at­ed with a dou­ble-degree from the pres­ti­gious Lee Kong Chi­an Schol­ars Pro­gramme. Pri­or to SMU, Shou Yee stud­ied at Raf­fles Junior Col­lege and was in the pio­neer batch of the Raf­fles Inte­grat­ed Pro­gramme. Com­ing out into the work­force, Shou Yee took on stints in eco­nom­ics research and invest­ment man­age­ment before he was recruit­ed to join UBS AG via its Grad­u­ate Tal­ent Pro­gramme.

Shou Yee’s pen­chant for num­bers and data has enabled him to devel­op strate­gies to effec­tive­ly pin­point recur­ring trends in exam­i­na­tion ques­tions. Along with the Think Teach team, he intro­duced these into the spe­cial­ly-craft­ed syl­labus to help stu­dents visu­alise and decon­struct chal­leng­ing ques­tions so they may adopt the best solu­tion in their arse­nal. Shou Yee believes that keep­ing things sim­ple and engag­ing is a sure way to nur­tur­ing stu­dents’ con­fi­dence in any sub­ject. “As stu­dents gain con­fi­dence, they will make it a per­son­al goal to achieve bet­ter grades while grow­ing their love for the sub­ject even more,” relates Shou Yee who takes it upon him­self to ensure all stu­dents at Think Teach become pos­i­tive learn­ers and inde­pen­dent thinkers.
