Code itself is taught in English (Python keywords are English).The Singapore pathway, one diagram ## From PSLE to NUS / NTU / SMU / SUTD — what your child is being prepared for. Singapore's education pipeline is the most structured in the world. Every stage feeds the next. Get any stage wrong — particularly PSLE or O-Level Computing — and the next stage gets exponentially harder. Here's what each step actually demands, and where we fit. AGES 7 – 12 #### Primary · PSLE Computational thinking foundations · MOE Code for Fun · Scratch / Python intro · logical reasoning for PSLE Math & Science. AGES 13 – 16 #### Secondary · O-Level / IP O-Level Computing 7155 (Python). IP-track schools skip O-Levels — school-internal curriculum is deeper. AGES 17 – 18 #### Junior College · A-Level H2 Computing 9569 (algorithms, data structures, OOP). H1 8876. H3 enrichment for top students. AGES 19 – 23 #### University · Local NUS School of Computing · NTU SCSE · SMU SCIS · SUTD · SIT · SUSS · admission via A-Level / IB / IP. AGES 22+ #### Career · SG Tech Sea · Grab · Razer · GovTech · TikTok APAC · Stripe · OpenAI SG · Anthropic SG. **Where Modern Age Coders adds value:** not by replacing school — Singapore schools are already world-class — but by adding the 1:1 depth, real working projects on GitHub, and algorithmic problem-solving that school class sizes of 30+ struggle to deliver, and that NUS / NTU / SMU / SUTD admissions actually scrutinize. **4.9 / 5**From 1,620 Singapore parent & student reviews**SGT**UTC+8 · IST mentors 2.5h behind · normal teaching hours**4 curricula**MOE · O-Level · A-Level · IP · IB DP**SGD 135**Per month · ≈ USD 100 · no GST · cancel anytimeChoose your child's track ## Pick the course that matches their level — and book a trial in under 30 seconds.

During PSLE (late September), O-Level (October – November) and A-Level (November) exam weeks, we automatically reduce coding-class intensity, shift to lighter review-style sessions, or pause entirely for the family that asks. No bill changes. We don't make money during exam fortnights — we make sure your child does well in school. Integrated Programme — the deep end ## For the ~10% of Singapore students in the Integrated Programme: a dedicated IP-track mentor. ### Most online providers don't understand the IP track. We do. The Integrated Programme runs a school-internal curriculum that skips O-Levels entirely. Each IP school has its own internal pace, its own internal projects, its own internal Maths and Computing depth. Generic O-Level tutoring is irrelevant. Our IP-track lead is an ex-Hwa Chong / RI computing teacher with 12 years inside the IP system. They know what RI's IP4 algorithms project actually looks like; what HCI expects in its IP5 project; how NUS High's accelerated pace differs from NJC's. If your child is in an IP school, ask for the IP-track mentor specifically on your callback.

He needed someone who could push his algorithms thinking past what RI's group classes do. After four months with his mentor — an ex-RI teacher — he ranked top 10% in the NOI Singapore qualifier. The mentor knew exactly what RI internally expects, didn't waste a single hour on irrelevant material, and never made it feel like remedial tutoring. This is the level of mentor Singapore parents have been quietly looking for.— **Mrs Tan** · Mother of IP4 student · Bishan · SingaporeWhat Singapore students actually ship ## Not slides.

Not a platform with optional support. Every Modern Age Coders Singapore family is matched to a single named mentor. No platform-only, no chatbot-only, no "hub teacher rotation." The same mentor teaches your child for as long as the relationship works — typically 12 to 24 months. Several of our SG mentors are ex-IP-school teachers themselves. SK ### Siti K.

University pathways ## Where our Singapore students go for Computer Science, AI and Engineering. Singapore's local universities are world-class — NUS School of Computing is consistently QS-ranked top 10 globally for Computer Science. Several of our SG students stay local. Others target the US (MIT, Stanford, CMU, Berkeley), the UK (Oxbridge, Imperial), Canada (Waterloo, UofT) or Australia (Go8). We align portfolios to whichever path each family is realistically targeting. #### NUS School of Computing QS CS ~#7 globally The pre-eminent CS school in Asia.

Your first month, week by week ## What actually happens between the day you book a callback and your child's first real GitHub commit. Day 0 ### The callback You leave your **+65** number on the form. A mentor working SGT-friendly hours calls within 3 hours — usually within 60 minutes during 16:00–21:00 SGT. No salesperson, no script. We ask 4 things: your child's school + year, the curriculum (MOE / IP / IB), what they've tried, what you want from the next 6 months. Day 1 – 2 ### Mentor match We match your child to a specific named mentor based on level, school, IP-track yes/no, IB-vs-A-Level, English / Mandarin / Tamil / Malay preference, time slot, personality fit. You see the mentor's name, photo and short bio before the trial. Day 3 ### The free trial lesson One full live 1:1 session with that named mentor. No demo content, no scripted lesson — the mentor teaches your child something real, calibrated to their level and school's curriculum. At the end, you receive a written 6-month outcome plan. Zero pressure if you don't continue. Week 1 ### Setup & first project Mentor sets up the dev environment on your child's home laptop (VS Code, Python, GitHub account). First "real" project is shipped end of week 1 — usually a small Python game or a working React webpage. We send you the GitHub link. Week 2 – 3 ### Curriculum lock-in Once we've watched two weeks of real teaching, the mentor finalises the 6-month learning plan — mapped explicitly to your child's school syllabus (O-Level 7155 progress, IP school internal pace, JC H2 9569 paper coverage, IB CS IA topic). You can challenge or change anything. Week 4 ### First parent check-in End of month one, the mentor calls you (not your child) on WhatsApp for 15 minutes. You hear what's working, what isn't, what to expect month 2. If month 1 wasn't great, this is where we say so honestly and offer a different mentor — free of charge. Adult learners welcome — and common ## About 28% of our Singapore students are adults. Career-switchers, finance professionals, MBA students, full-time parents upskilling. 38 yo · Holland Village · Banking → AI ### From DBS relationship manager to Sea Group AI-product role. Wei Liang spent 12 years at DBS in private banking. He had maths-strong intuition but no coding background. Eight months with Suresh — Python → SQL → LangChain → a working agentic-AI portfolio. He's now in an AI product role at Sea Group. Compensation increased ~35% (the AI-product premium in SG is significant). 31 yo · Tampines · Stay-at-home mum ### From paused career to remote junior-developer offer in 11 months. Mei Lin stopped work after her second child and spent 4 years out of the job market. She wanted a working portfolio, not a four-year university restart. 11 months in, she has a React + Supabase portfolio and a remote junior-developer offer from a UK fintech. Worked exclusively in evenings while her kids slept. 52 yo · Bishan · Retired civil servant ### Retirement was boring. Now ships an AI-driven hawker-rating app. Khalid spent 28 years in the Singapore civil service. Retired in 2024. Wanted a project. Now spends 3 hours a day in Python, has built an LLM-powered hawker-stall review app pulling data from the NEA hawker centre directory + Google Reviews. ~14,000 active users across Singapore. 28 yo · One-North · Product Manager ### PM at Stripe Singapore shipping her own production code now. Priyanka was a non-technical PM at Stripe APAC and felt the gap painfully. Could not read her own team's PRs, could not prototype, kept getting bulldozed by senior engineers. Six months with us and she's shipping small production changes herself, has earned engineering credibility, and was promoted to Senior PM in February 2026. 44 yo · Marina Bay · MBA student ### INSEAD MBA student building his AI-startup MVP himself. Rohit was halfway through his INSEAD MBA and wanted to build the MVP for his thesis startup himself rather than outsource to an agency. Three months with us and he had a working Streamlit prototype + LangChain agent he could demo to VCs. The startup is now in the SGInnovate AI accelerator. 35 yo · Tanjong Pagar · GovTech engineer wanting to deepen AI ### From back-end engineer at GovTech to AI lead on her squad. Lim was a competent back-end engineer at GovTech but felt left behind by the AI wave. Five months focused entirely on LLM application engineering — RAG, agents, evals, production deployment. She's now the de-facto AI lead on her GovTech squad and has shipped two LLM features used by hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans. What we promise · and what we don't ## No NUS admission guarantees. No "100% A*" promises. No fake star ratings. Here's what we'll actually commit to. ### We will - Match your child to a named mentor within 48 hours - Run the free trial as a real lesson, not a sales demo - Send you a written 6-month outcome plan after the trial - Coordinate around PSLE, O-Level, A-Level and IB exam fortnights - Be honest if your child needs a different mentor — and switch them, free - Bill in SGD or USD on the date you joined — never on the 1st-of-month surprise - Stop billing immediately the moment you cancel — no notice period, no last-month trick ### We won't - Promise admission to NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD or anywhere else (no one credible can) - Promise A*/distinction in O-Level Computing or A-Level H2 9569 - Use AI chatbot "tutors" instead of real human mentors - Sell you "gold / diamond / platinum" upsell packages - Auto-renew you onto a 12-month plan you didn't agree to - Pressure-call you if you don't continue after the trial - Quietly add GST — there is none on our service for SG families Inside a typical class ## A real 45-minute Modern Age Coders Singapore session, step by step. Minute 0 – 3 ### Greeting and last-session check Mentor and student greet on Zoom. 2-minute recap: "What do you remember? What got stuck?" — no homework-style grilling. Minute 3 – 10 ### Concept moment Mentor introduces the one new concept — usually with a Singapore-relevant example. ("Today we're learning dictionaries by storing every MRT station as a key and its CC/EW/NS line as the value.") Minute 10 – 35 ### Live build Student writes real code. Mentor shares screen for the first few minutes, then watches, prompts, helps debug. Real errors. Real frustration. Real wins. The mentor never types for the student. Minute 35 – 42 ### Ship it Push to GitHub. Run the program. Sometimes screen-record a 30-second demo video for the family chat. Every session produces something tangible the student can show. Minute 42 – 45 ### Wrap & preview Mentor writes 2 lines into the session log (which parents can read anytime). Previews next session. Says goodbye. Never any "please remember to leave us a review" ask — we don't do that. What a full year actually looks like ## Three real 12-month plans — from P5 PSLE-prep, to JC A-Level H2, to adult AI engineer. Plan A ### P5 Singapore student · Tampines · 12-month plan **Months 1–2:** Python fundamentals — variables, conditions, loops, functions. Computational-thinking puzzles that map to PSLE Maths heuristics. **Months 3–4:** Data structures, file I/O. First mini-project: a PSLE practice-question generator. **Months 5–6:** Real Python game project (snake / pong / Tkinter calculator). First two GitHub commits. **Months 7–8:** First webpage with HTML / CSS / JavaScript. **Months 9–10:** Light load (PSLE prep weeks — we deliberately reduce intensity). **Months 11–12:** Post-PSLE: capstone web project, ready to head into S1 confident. **Outcome:** PSLE-ready (academically supported, not distracted). S1 Computing will feel easy. Plan B ### JC1 student doing H2 9569 · Bishan · 12-month plan **Months 1–2:** Algorithms intensive — sorting, searching, complexity, recursion.

OOP design. **Months 5–6:** Networks, databases, security — the Paper 1 theory side. **Month 7:** Programming Project topic locked in. Begin writing Stage 1. **Months 8–10:** Project build phase — solution design, code, testing, evaluation. Weekly check-ins. **Month 11:** Project polish + Paper 1/2 past-paper drills. **Month 12:** Final submission + Mock-3 paper. Mentor writes a reference for UCAS/Common App if requested. **Outcome:** Targets a strong A in H2 Computing 9569 + a competitive NUS / NTU SoC application. Plan C ### Adult career-switcher · 35 yo · Tanjong Pagar · banking → AI · 12-month plan **Months 1–2:** Python from zero. Variables to OOP in 8 weeks. Daily 30-minute self-study + 2 mentor sessions per week. **Months 3–4:** SQL deep dive (Singapore-banking data, anonymised) + pandas / NumPy. **Months 5–6:** LLMs — OpenAI / Anthropic APIs, prompt engineering, structured-output chains. **Months 7–8:** RAG — build a real RAG app over Singapore-banking-domain documents. **Months 9–10:** Agentic AI — LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI. Multi-step reasoning. Production patterns. **Month 11:** Deploy a real agent to a Sea / Grab / Stripe-style use-case. Portfolio piece #1. **Month 12:** Application sprint. Mentor reviews CV, LinkedIn, GitHub. Practice interviews. **Outcome:** Real portfolio. Ready to apply for SG AI / AI-engineering roles at SGD 10–18 k/month range.

One callback. ## Talk to a real Singapore-time-zone mentor before deciding anything. Leave your number. A mentor working SGT-friendly hours will call you within 3 hours, ask 4 questions about your child's school and level, and either book a free trial or politely tell you we're not the right fit. No follow-up campaign. No spam. We've never sold a list. We never will. FAQ — Singapore-specific ## Twenty-six answers to the questions Singapore parents (and adult learners) actually ask. Are you a Singapore-registered company? We're registered as an education-services provider outside Singapore, which is why no Singapore GST applies to your bill. Delivery is online-only — there is no Singapore office to visit. We issue cross-border invoices in SGD or USD if you need one for accounting. Do you align with the MOE Singapore syllabus? Yes — directly. Primary track aligns with MOE Code for Fun and PSLE-supportive computational thinking. Secondary track aligns with GCE O-Level Computing 7155 (Python). JC aligns with GCE A-Level H2 Computing 9569 (and H1 8876, H3 enrichment). IP-track is handled separately because IP schools have school-internal syllabuses. My child is in an IP school (RI / HCI / NUS High / NJC / NYGH / ACS-I) — will the mentor know it? Yes — specifically. Our IP-track lead is an ex-Hwa Chong / RI teacher with 12 years inside the IP system. They know each IP school's internal pace and the actual depth required for the IP4 / IP5 internal projects. Ask for the IP-track mentor on your callback. Do you coach NOI Singapore (National Olympiad in Informatics)? Yes. Algorithms, data structures, dynamic programming, graph theory. We've coached students through NOI Singapore qualifier rounds. Most NOI-bound students come to us in IP4 or S3 and work intensively for 8 – 14 months. What about Hack&Roll (NUS) or AI Innovation Challenge? Yes — team coaching for 24-hour hackathons. We've had teams reach the Hack&Roll Top 10 multiple years running. We also coach AI Innovation Challenge, JC ASEAN Computer Science Olympiad, and the Singapore Maths Olympiad. Can my child prepare for NUS School of Computing direct admission? Yes. We focus on the four things SoC admissions evaluates: H2 Computing performance, a real GitHub portfolio, NOI / competitive programming credentials, and articulate written communication about projects. About 1 in 5 of our advanced SG students target NUS SoC. NTU SCSE? SMU SCIS? SUTD CSD? SIT? Yes — all four. NTU SCSE is similar in admissions weight to NUS SoC. SMU SCIS leans more on the practical portfolio side. SUTD looks for design-thinking + technical depth. SIT is applied-track. We tailor portfolio strategy to whichever university is the realistic primary target. Do you support GCE O-Level Computing 7155? Yes — the entire syllabus. Python, algorithms, data representation, networks, security, data & databases, the programming project. We run past-paper drills and project guidance directly to the 7155 specification. And A-Level H2 Computing 9569? Yes — comprehensive coverage. Paper 1 (theory: algorithms, data, networks, security), Paper 2 (algorithms / problem-solving), Paper 3 (programming project), Paper 4 (data + AI fundamentals). Our H2 9569 mentor walked dozens of JC2 students through the exam in 2024 and 2025. H1 Computing 8876? H3 enrichment? Yes. H1 8876 (lighter load, no programming project) and H3 enrichment (for the top of the cohort, often offered through RI, HCI, NJC, ACS-I and VJC). H3 is its own world; only a small number of our mentors handle it. IB Diploma Computer Science HL and SL? Yes — and our mentors include a former IB Computer Science examiner. We support both the new IB CS syllabus (first exams 2027 onward) and the legacy 2014 syllabus. Internal Assessment scaffolding is a particular strength. Can mentors help with Direct School Admission (DSA) applications? Yes — for the Computing / Maths / Science DSA streams used by RI, HCI, NUS High, NJC and others. We help shape the project portfolio that strengthens a DSA application. We don't write personal statements for students, ever. Does your schedule work around PSLE / O-Level / A-Level exam weeks? Yes — automatically. During PSLE (late September), O-Level (October–November) and A-Level (November) exam weeks, we reduce intensity, switch to lighter review sessions, or pause entirely. No bill changes. The mentor's job is to help your child do well at school, not the other way around. What time zones do mentors work in? SGT (UTC+8), Singapore's only time zone. Most mentors are based in India (IST, 2.5 hours behind), so a 5 pm Singapore class is 2:30 pm in India — normal teaching hours on both ends. Saturday morning classes are also popular with IP-track families. Can my child practise in Mandarin / Tamil / Malay if they're more comfortable? Code itself is always in English (Python keywords are English; GitHub is English — that's universal). But for primary-school P3/P4 learners, we can pair them with a bilingual mentor who explains concepts in Mandarin, Tamil or Malay and walks through code in English. Are mentors qualified? Background-checked? Every mentor undergoes a structured 4-step interview, paid trial-teaching, and an Indian-equivalent of a DBS background check. Many hold a Master's or PhD in Computer Science. We don't hire part-time uni students — every mentor is a full-time specialist teacher. What if my child needs a different mentor? You ask, we switch — free of charge, within 48 hours. About 1 in 30 families ask for a switch in the first two months; we treat it as totally normal. Do you charge GST? No — we deliver as a cross-border online education provider from outside Singapore, so no GST is added to your bill. Your bill is exactly the SGD equivalent of USD 100 / month for 1:1 (or USD 40 / month for cohort), at the current exchange rate. Can I pay in SGD or USD? Either. Most SG families pay by Visa or Mastercard (SGD-billed). Some pay by international transfer in USD. We accept PayNow for SGD payments where applicable, plus Apple/Google Pay. Whichever you choose, the amount converts at the spot rate on billing date. Can I use SkillsFuture Credit? Not currently. We're not a SkillsFuture-approved provider. However, our SGD 135/month adult rate is already below most local AI/coding bootcamps even after SkillsFuture is applied. Many adult Singapore learners find we're more cost-effective even without the credit. How do I cancel? One email. No phone call required. No retention agent will hassle you. We stop billing on the cancellation date — no notice period. The mentor runs any sessions already paid for, then closes out cleanly. Will the mentor help set up a school-issued laptop? Yes. Many Singapore schools issue locked-down devices. We have a school-laptop setup path (VS Code in the browser via GitHub Codespaces, sandboxed Python when admin is locked). The mentor handles setup live during the first class. Will my child be safe online — especially with AI? Under-13s never interact with raw LLM APIs without a mentor present. We use age-appropriate models, guardrailed prompts, content filters. The AI tools your child builds are fully reviewable by you. We're stricter on this than most. Will my child learn fake "kid Python" rather than real programming? No. We start in Scratch for the youngest learners (P1–P3) and only as a bridge. By month three almost every student is writing real, runnable Python that imports real libraries, handles real errors and pushes to a real GitHub repo. We deliberately avoid "Python for kids" tools. What if we're relocating from Singapore mid-year (e.g. to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, San Francisco)? The mentor stays with your child. Only the time zone changes. We've onboarded relocating families to and from Singapore many times. Your child's coding rhythm doesn't get disrupted by the move. Do you offer scholarships? Yes — a small annual scholarship pool for high-potential Singapore students whose families can't comfortably afford SGD 135/month. Email us a short note from the parent + a piece of work from the child. We award 10 – 15 SG scholarships per academic year, 50%–100% of the monthly fee. Are sessions delivered via Zoom or Microsoft Teams? Default is Zoom — what most Singapore families are familiar with. If your school or family prefers Teams, Google Meet or Webex, mentors will use whichever you prefer. We've delivered classes across all four reliably. What happens during the Lunar New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas? Sessions automatically pause for the official Singapore public-holiday days. No need to email us. The mentor coordinates make-up sessions in the following week if you want them. Same approach for Vesak, Hari Raya Haji, National Day, Labour Day and the long PSLE-marking week in early November. Common Singapore-parent worries ## Honest answers to the questions you don't always ask out loud. "My P5 child already has tuition for Maths, Science and Chinese. Coding feels like one more thing." Fair worry. We tell PSLE-year P5 / P6 families honestly: either start coding light, knowing the focus must remain on PSLE, or pause until November once PSLE is over. We are not in a hurry to enrol your child. Many of our best P6 starts actually begin in November after PSLE ends. "My IP-school child is already in a top secondary. Won't an external mentor distract them?" Usually it sharpens them. IP-school students who join us tend to find that 1:1 mentorship lets them go deeper than the group-class pace at school allows. The mentor's job is to *complement*, never compete with, the school. Many of our IP students see improved school marks within 3 months. "Is AI safe for my 9-year-old? I keep reading worrying things." Under-13s never interact with raw LLM APIs without a mentor present. We use age-appropriate models, guardrailed prompts, content filters and a "sandbox-only" rule. You see every prompt and every output your child generates. "Will my JC2 student keep up with H2 Maths / H2 Chemistry during all this?" Yes — and usually they pull ahead. Most JC2 students who join us see their H2 Computing 9569 marks rise because we directly cover the syllabus they'll be tested on. We coordinate around prelims, mock papers and A-Level fortnight. "My daughter is in a girls' school and we'd prefer a female mentor." Of course. Just say so on the callback. We have an all-female mentor pool. Same curriculum, same depth, same pricing. Particularly common ask from NYGH, RGS, MGS and Cedar families. "We're moving back to India / China / Australia next year. Is this worth starting?" Yes — and actually especially yes. Our mentor stays with your child across the move; only the time zone changes. Many of our Singapore families have moved to Hong Kong, Sydney, Mumbai or San Francisco with us and never switched providers. "What if the mentor is just a moonlighting graduate student?" None of our mentors are moonlighting graduate students. Every mentor is a full-time professional educator with 5+ years of teaching experience and a structured interview pipeline before they ever meet a Singapore family. Where our Singapore students live ## Neighbourhood spotlights — from Bishan to Bedok to Sentosa Cove. Singapore is small, but neighbourhood patterns matter. Schools cluster by area; commute times affect when classes can run; HDB-versus-condo demographics matter. Here's the granular picture of where our current SG students are based. BISHAN · D20 ### Bishan · Ang Mo Kio · Toa Payoh Heart of the IP-school cluster — Raffles Institution, Raffles Girls', Catholic High, Cedar Girls' all here. Densest concentration of our IP-track students. **Top schools:** RI · RGS · Catholic High · Cedar Girls' · ACS(Barker)BUKIT TIMAH · D11 ### Bukit Timah · Holland · Dover Hwa Chong Institution, Nanyang Girls', ACS Independent — another deep IP cluster. Many of our advanced JC2 H2 9569 students live here. **Top schools:** HCI · NYGH · ACS(I) · NJC · MGSTAMPINES · D18 ### Tampines · Pasir Ris · Bedok Mix of MOE neighbourhood secondaries and a strong primary-school cluster. Many of our PSLE-age and O-Level Computing 7155 students are based here. **Top schools:** Tampines Sec · Pasir Ris Sec · Bedok View · DunmanCLEMENTI · D5 ### Clementi · Kent Ridge · One-North Near NUS & NUS High. Many of our advanced IP / DSA / NOI track students live here. Plus the adult-learner cluster working in the One-North tech zone. **Top schools:** NUS High · Anglo-Chinese (I) · ACJC · NUSCENTRAL · D9–10 ### Orchard · River Valley · Tanglin International-school cluster — UWCSEA, SAS (in Woodlands but with many central families), Tanglin Trust, OFS, ISS. Mostly IB DP families. **Top schools:** UWCSEA · Tanglin · OFS · ISS · CISEAST · D15–16 ### Marine Parade · East Coast · Siglap Strong Victoria School / Tao Nan / Red Swastika / St Patrick's family cluster. Mix of MOE and IP. Several SAS-Woodlands families also live here for the lifestyle. **Top schools:** Victoria · Tao Nan · Red Swastika · St Patrick'sSENTOSA · D4 ### Sentosa Cove · HarbourFront Smaller, premium expat cluster. Mostly international-school IB DP families. Often the highest-paid jobs and the highest-spending parents. **Top schools:** UWCSEA East · SAS · OFSJURONG & WEST · D22–23 ### Jurong East · Jurong West · Tengah · Choa Chu Kang Growing western cluster as new HDB estates open. Mix of MOE schools and a few specialised academies. Strong demand for O-Level 7155 prep. **Top schools:** River Valley High · Jurong Sec · Hua Yi SecWOODLANDS & NORTH · D25–27 ### Woodlands · Yishun · Sembawang Singapore American School cluster (Woodlands campus) — many AP CSP / AP CSA families. Plus a sizeable MOE-secondary base. **Top schools:** SAS · Innova JC · Yishun Sec · Republic PolyA note on the Singapore afternoon ## We respect the brutal reality of the Singapore school day. Most Singapore primary & secondary students return home between 2 pm and 4 pm. CCA, tuition, dinner and family time fill the rest. We've engineered our class schedule around this reality: - **Weeknight slots** — 4 pm – 9 pm SGT, accommodating CCA / tuition stack-ups. - **Saturday morning blocks** — 9 am – 12 pm SGT, popular with IP-track and JC2 families who want a longer, deeper weekly session. - **Sunday afternoon** — available on request for adult learners and families with intense weeknight schedules. - **June & December holidays** — intensive blocks available (3+ sessions a week) for students who want to accelerate during the long breaks. - **Exam-week pauses** — PSLE, O-Level, A-Level and IB exam fortnights automatically trigger reduced intensity. No bill changes. Worth saying out loud ## Why Indian-trained mentors fit Singapore families *especially* well. We don't dance around this. Most of our mentors are India-based. For Singapore families — many of whom are themselves Singaporean-Indian or have strong India ties — that's often an advantage. Here's why, said plainly: - **Time zones align.** IST is 2.5 hours behind SGT. A 5 pm Singapore class is 2:30 pm in India — normal teaching hours on both ends. No-one is teaching at midnight. - **CS depth is world-class.** India produces more CS graduates per year than any other country, and the top tier of that pool — people who cleared IIT JEE Advanced or top-IIT placement — is who teaches your child. NUS / NTU / IIT graduates respect each other's standards. - **English-medium teaching is native.** Indian mentors deliver in clear, professional English. For Mandarin-first or Tamil-first families, we also have bilingual mentors who can switch languages for primary-school learners. - **Cultural understanding is automatic.** Singapore's Indian diaspora is well-represented in our SG family base. Mentors understand the cultural texture of Singapore-Indian (and broader South-Asian) homes without needing to be briefed. - **Singapore-specific knowledge is the burden of the mentor, not you.** We invest in mentors who learn the MOE syllabus, the IP system, the SoC / SCSE / SCIS / SUTD admissions criteria. You don't need to explain Singapore education to anyone. - **Cost structure makes 1:1 viable.** Indian salary structures mean we can offer real 1:1 mentorship at SGD 135 / month — a Singapore-based academy charging the same price would be forced to use 5:1 group sessions. Singapore family stories ## Real outcomes from real Singapore homes — not stock photos. Six families across Bishan, Tampines, Holland Village, Bedok and One-North share what changed in the first six months. Names abbreviated. Every story shared with written permission from the parent. Aarav, P5 · Tampines · CBSE-pattern ### PSLE Maths went from B to A* in six months — coding helped, surprisingly. Aarav joined in February 2025 underperforming on PSLE Maths heuristics. We didn't position coding as the solution. But after 6 months of Python problem-solving, his ability to break down PSLE-Maths heuristics (model-drawing, supposition, working backwards) demonstrably improved. PSLE Maths grade: A*. Mentor: Aisha · 22 sessions · PSLE Maths: A* · CBSE schooling Kai Sheng, IP4 · Raffles Institution · Bishan ### NOI Singapore qualifier — top 10% nationally as an IP4. Kai Sheng's parents wanted "challenge beyond RI's pace." His mentor Siti (ex-Hwa Chong) shifted his track toward NOI Singapore prep after spotting strong algorithmic intuition in session four. He sat NOI in IP4 and placed top 10% nationally — rare at that age. He's now the only IP5 student doing H3 enrichment at his school. Mentor: Siti · 28 sessions · NOI Singapore Top-10% · RI IP track Mei Ling, JC2 · NJC · Bishan ### H2 Computing 9569: from a 'B' predicted to a clean 'A' at A-Levels. Mei Ling was strong at H2 Maths but H2 Computing was sliding. Mentor Rajesh ran weekly past-paper drills + completely rebuilt her Python OOP fundamentals. She finished her A-Levels with an 'A' in H2 9569. Now reading CS at NUS School of Computing. Mentor: Rajesh · 30 sessions · A-Level H2 9569: A · Now at NUS SoC Twins · P3 · Bedok · MOE neighbourhood school ### Different temperaments, different tracks, same household. Sara (the quieter twin) does Scratch game design Tuesdays; Riya (the more competitive one) does Python + micro:bit Thursdays. Different tracks, same household, same monthly bill (×2). Both girls retained at 6-month mark. Mentors: Aisha & Priya · 2 separate tracks · MOE primary · 24 weeks Ahmed, S4 · O-Level prep · Tanjong Pagar ### O-Level Computing 7155: A1 + a real-world LTA bus-arrival project that got into Hack&Roll. Ahmed's O-Level Computing project was a live LTA bus-arrival predictor for his neighbourhood. Final O-Level score: A1. Two months later he submitted the same project to Hack&Roll 2025 with two team-mates — Top-25 finalist out of 600+ entries. Mentor: Rajesh · 20 sessions · O-Level 7155: A1 · Hack&Roll Top-25 Wei Liang, 38 yo · Holland Village · Career-switcher ### DBS private banker → Sea Group AI-product role in 8 months. Wei Liang is the story above (same person). Started Python from zero in May 2025. Got the Sea Group offer in January 2026. ~35% compensation increase. Now refers other DBS colleagues to us — about 20% of our SG adult-learner pipeline comes from his referrals. Mentor: Suresh · 38 sessions · Career switch · ~35% comp increase We have many more. We don't publish photos or full surnames of minors — that's a hard rule. But we're happy to put you in touch (with permission) with one Singapore parent in your neighbourhood before you commit. Competition outcomes — selected ## A snapshot of what our Singapore students have achieved at competitions. A non-exhaustive list of competition outcomes from Modern Age Coders Singapore students in 2024 and 2025. We don't list student names — that's a hard privacy rule — just the school, level and outcome. - **NOI Singapore qualifier 2025** — 4 students Top-15%, 2 students Top-10%, 1 student Bronze medal at finals. - **Hack&Roll 2025 (NUS)** — 1 team Top-10 finalist, 2 teams Top-25. - **Singapore Maths Olympiad 2025** — 5 students Silver, 3 Gold, 1 Top-100 nationally. - **AI Innovation Challenge 2024** — 1 student team Finalist (out of 240+ entries). - **PSLE Mathematics 2024 cohort** — of our 18 P6 students, 11 scored AL1 (A*) in Maths. - **O-Level Computing 7155 (2024)** — 14 of our 22 S5 students scored A1. - **A-Level H2 Computing 9569 (2024)** — 9 of our 11 JC2 students scored A. - **IB Computer Science HL Internal Assessment (2024)** — 8 of our 9 students scored 5/6/7. - **NUS School of Computing direct admission (2024)** — 4 of our advanced students admitted. - **NTU SCSE direct admission (2024)** — 3 of our advanced students admitted. These outcomes are correlated with our mentorship, not solely caused by it. A great mentor amplifies a hard-working student; we are honest about that distinction. We don't claim credit for the school, the family, the natural ability or the late-night studying. Last word ## If you've read this far, the next step is one phone call.
