Ms Liza Lim

Hello, I’m Ms. Liza Lim. I have been guiding students in Mathematics at the Secondary and Junior College levels for over 20 years, and my passion for helping them achieve success in Math remains as strong as ever!

I am deeply committed to my mission of adding value to my students’ lives and cultivating a new generation of confident achievers in Mathematics. I firmly believe that with dedication and the right support, any willing student can reach their desired academic goals.

Even when students start with low confidence or struggle in Math, I work to transform both their skills and mindset by guiding them to make meaningful progress and improvements over time.

My Approach and "Mathematics Superpower"

With a background in engineering, I have a strong analytical approach that helps me pinpoint each student’s strengths and weaknesses. I design tailored strategies to empower students and make learning effective. Even in a group setting, I ensure each student receives individualized coaching suited to their specific needs, making the learning experience productive and personalized.

My Proven Methods & Techniques

Over the years, I have developed a range of effective teaching strategies and crafted a comprehensive set of materials to support these methods. Some of my techniques include:

  • Innovative Mechanics: Using methods such as pair/group work, jigsaw puzzles, quizzes, peer tutoring, and reflective learning to go beyond conventional approaches.
  • Powerful Questioning: Employing formative questions that encourage deep understanding and help students internalize concepts.
  • Deep Engagement: Keeping students consistently engaged through active participation.
  • Close Monitoring: Observing for gaps in understanding that indicate a need to revisit foundational concepts.
  • Positive Rapport: Building strong, supportive relationships that motivate students to collaborate in achieving their goals.
  • Parental Partnership: Working with parents to understand students better, which allows me to connect with them more meaningfully in the classroom.
