Founder Story

Teacher Elaine coaching a student one-on-one

Elaine Khong is the founder of MathArchery, a boutique mathematics studio built on the principle that Math is a mind sport — one that demands precision, targeted consistent training, and mental stamina. Drawing inspiration from the intentionality of archery, she designed MathArchery as a learning dojowhere students sharpen accuracy, strengthen thinking skills, and build confidence through structured practice. Elaine has lived the name “MathArchery” herself — shaped by her own journey in Math and by her role as a parent of a competitive archer.

Elaine's professional training is in Computer Science, and her passion lies in Math, Logic, and Patterns. As a mother of two boys who have journeyed through the full Singapore education pathway, she has personally gone through two rounds of PSLE, GCE O-Level A and E Math, Integrated Programme (IP) Math, and GCE A-Level H2 Math. Studying alongside her sons and coaching them through every major Math exam, she has experienced Math in all its shades — from foundational concepts to abstract reasoning across multiple levels of rigour, including elements of Math in Physics, Chemistry, and Statistics.

These lived experiences gave her deep insight into the ups and downs of the Math journey, the ingredients for Math success, the anxieties students face, and the ambitions parents hold. Elaine has worked with both high-ability learners and students who need learning support. In guiding students across varied abilities, she developed a nuanced understanding of how different Math learners think, learn, and grow.

Hello! I'm Mrs. Elaine Goh, also known as Teacher Elaine to my students. I have been working with students to rebuild their confidence and sharpen their Mathematics skills for over eight years. My journey began when I sought ways to support my own two sons, who both have unique learning needs.

I struggled to find tutors or programs that could adequately support their needs, which led me to pursue a Specialist Diploma in Specific Learning Differences from the Dyslexic Association of Singapore Academy. I wanted to learn effective methods to help my children and empower them to succeed in Mathematics. Through these efforts, both my sons were able to excel in their PSLE exams and were admitted to Raffles Institution and the School of Science and Technology.

Since then, I have extended my support to other students and families, sharing the approach I developed over the years. Until recently, family commitments limited the time I could dedicate to teaching, but now I am excited to reach and help more students through the system I created.

My Unique Approach to Teaching Mathematics

With a deep passion for both Mathematics and Special Needs Education, I have crafted methods that address specific learning challenges in Mathematics. My approach fills gaps often left by standard curriculum materials and traditional tutoring, making Mathematics accessible and achievable for all students.

For high-performing Primary students, I provide advanced thinking models and concepts that push them to operate their problem solving skills at a top level. I focus on building accuracy, speed, and consistencythrough disciplined practice and preparing for ‘special’ questions in PSLE that differentiates the AL1s from the rest.

For Secondary, IP and IB students, I work across E Math, A Math, IP Math, and IB Math — the same levels I coached my own sons through. Whether it is building a strong foundation or targeting the higher-order questions that separate grades, I know exactly where students lose marks and how to close those gaps.

Even though I work with Top Performers and Developing Students, I make sure that each student's needs are carefully taken care of and they can reach their respective potential.

Why I Believe in Small Group Coaching

Classes are limited to 4–5 students. Here's why it makes a difference.

I have developed a unique methodology, MathArchery, which draws on customized materials from various resources. One key feature of my curriculum is “Mathercises” — exercises designed to improve Accuracy, Speed, and Consistency (ASC), which are essential for exam success.

For Advanced Students

I help them focus on areas that will earn additional marks, rather than revisiting topics where they already excel. They must be exposed and trained in solving unexpected high-order thinking questions that will 100% appear at every PSLE to differentiate the top performers from the rest — and be consistent, accurate and fast.

For Students Who Struggle

I begin with bite-sized and progressively challenging questions. Confidence is built gradually rather than through immediate exposure to difficult problems — for example, a P5 student struggling with fractions may need to work on fundamental concepts before tackling more complex questions.

I usually limit my classes to 4–5 students, allowing me to provide close, personalized guidance — particularly beneficial for students with special learning needs and high-achievers alike. This small group setting fosters a collaborative learning environment that builds confidence from the very beginning.

What Parents & Students Say

Real feedback from real families.

“Teacher Elaine is really a diamond amongst tuition teachers. She goes the extra mile to help my daughter when she had difficulty loving math due to her school's math teacher in P5 and Teacher Elaine helped her to love the subject so much that she is now asking me to sign her up for year end math to learn more before school lessons. My daughter is now much more confident and does not delay doing her math homework. I am really deeply appreciative of all the hard work and support Teacher Elaine has put in to change our lives.”

Catherine Chan

“Teacher Elaine is very patient and dedicated to her students. She is able to convey the math concepts clearly to them and provide useful tips to tackle different kinds of questions. Our child's result has improved greatly and achieved a remarkable PSLE score (AL1) under Teacher Elaine's guidance which we're truly grateful for!”

Chin Lee

“We are so grateful to have found Teacher Elaine. She is an incredibly patient and thorough math tutor who has made a huge difference in my son's learning. Her teaching style is clear and methodical, ensuring that my son fully understands each concept before moving on. We can see a significant boost in both his result and confidence. Highly recommend Teacher Elaine to anyone looking for a committed and effective tutor!”

“Within a short span of 5 months, my girl's P4 SA2 math results was a whooping jump of one achievement level (AL6 to AL5). From a child who detests Math to one who looks forward to her weekly math lessons with Teacher Elaine and eagerly attempting past year examination papers without any nagging on my part. You have shaped Joelle to who she is now — a forward-looking and motivated child who is eager to learn! A life of learning, it all begins with a teacher.”

Eunice Sim

“Teacher Elaine is an outstanding teacher. One who takes the initiative to ensure her students are on the right path to success. She is often patient and detailed in her explanation to allow me to fully grasp the topic whether E Math or A Math. She also motivates me to keep on striving no matter how challenging the times may be. All in all, thank you so much Teacher Elaine.”
