We are personally connected with these professional educators, and we confidently vouch for both their character and expertise. Each brings many years of experience, deep subject mastery, and a genuine pride in their work. Above all, they are passionate educators who care deeply about their students’ learning and progress.
Higher Nucleus Learning Studio was founded by former MOE Junior College teachers, each with over 15 years of teaching experience and a shared belief that education should be purposeful, rigorous, and student-centred. Great teaching is never accidental, and is built on experience, conviction, and care.
We have deep respect for the teaching team at Higher Nucleus, which includes PSC Teaching Scholars and educators with Master's degrees in Education. Their strong subject mastery and classroom experience are evident in their thoughtful, structured approach to teaching.
They believe firmly in quality over quantity. Class sizes are kept intentionally small to ensure personalised attention, and all lessons are conducted by full-time professional educators. They do not engage undergraduate tutors, nor do they chase trends or marketing gimmicks, remaining focused on responsible, effective teaching that genuinely benefits students.
Mr. Jeffrey Teo is a practice-focused Head Coach at Ace Your Econs (AYE) and the author of two guidebooks for A-Level Economics. He is also the co-founder of Community of Tutors (COT), a respected networking group for both veteran and aspiring tutors.
He holds a degree in Economics from NTU and brings valuable real-world insight from his prior career as a corporate banker. While students often describe him as strict and firm during exam drilling, this approach is balanced by his deep passion for teaching and his commitment to helping students excel.
Mr. Goh Joo Heng is a highly qualified and experienced mathematics tutor with a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from NTU. He has consistently achieved top mathematics results throughout his academic journey.
Since 2014, he has specialised in teaching JC H2 Mathematics and is particularly known for his ability to break down complex concepts into clear, concise, and intuitive explanations that students can easily grasp.
Mr. Terence Chia graduated First Class Honours from NUS Mathematics, and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (with Merit) from NIE, NTU. A Public Service Commission (PSC) scholar, he began his teaching career in MOE schools in 2004 and went on to spend 14 years as a full-time classroom tuition educator. His extensive experience across both school and tuition settings gives him a deep understanding of student learning gaps and exam demands.
We really like that Mr Chia is quietly witty. His motto is "Never give up, never surrender!", and his goal is to become your favourite teacher’s favourite teacher. Read that again.
Mr. Bryan Lai is a seasoned physics tutor with over 15 years of teaching experience. He holds a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from NTU and is a former MOE Junior College lecturer, having taught across multiple JCs in Singapore.

He also holds a certification in Harvard Teaching and Learning Strategies for Higher Education and has authored several chemistry books, including “Novel Organic Chemistry Questions” and “Organic Chemistry – Mastering Synthesis and Elucidation Questions.”
