Our Team

This is not an understatement – our team is truly the secret to our success. Each of our tutors is amazing in their own ways, but together they are what makes Making Sense such a fun and rewarding place to work at.  The team is a tight-knit, talented group with a shared vision of delivering great value to our students, as well as ensuring that Making Sense is a fun, inclusive, challenging place to work and develop a rewarding career.

We’re very proud of the team we’ve built – each of us is passionate about helping our students achieve academic success, as well as mentoring them as they navigate through the challenging demands of teenage years.

Clarity

A skilled and experienced tutor can deliver a concept with far more precision and clarity. On-boarding tutors are put through a mentorship programme with senior tutors. Making Sense tutors are trained to break down complex concepts into bite-sized pieces, and to explain in layman terms. Often, we use everyday analogies to help students better appreciate the fascinating possibilities of Science.

Charisma

Understanding our students and building strong rapport with them will help us better serve their needs. Our tutor mentorship programme hones every aspect of our tutors’ skills – from effective classroom management and precision of delivery to even small but important details such as stage presence and how to best interact with students. It is our goal to arouse genuine curiosity for Science and Chemistry through our passion and love for teaching.

Commitment

Weekly team meetings are conducted to impart skills such as effective classroom management, teaching pedagogy and how to best deliver explanations to maximise learning. Such discussions pave the way for constant key improvements to the overall classroom experience of our students.

Teachers also share feedback on lesson materials to ensure we are always refining our comprehensive classroom resources.

Mr. William Lin (Founder and Chemistry Super Tutor) | Making Sense

Mr. William Lin (Founder and principal of Making Sense)

With over 18 years of teaching experience and exclusive features in the media, Mr. William Lin is perhaps one of the most sought-after Chemistry Tutors in Singapore. Well-liked for his patience, clarity and ability to simplify complicated concepts, over 700 students join Making Sense every year to be coached by this award-winning Super Tutor.

Mr. William founded Making Sense with an aspiration to change the notion that chemistry is a mundane subject that few will excel in. He wanted students to realise that learning Chemistry need not be a struggle and that Chemistry does have many fascinating possibilities to offer.

A firm believer that learning should be fun, Mr. William enlivens his lessons with stories, jokes and everyday anecdotes. He’s seen over 97% of his students show improvement in their grades, with many going on to score excellent grades in their A-level examinations. Under his tutelage, many who had believed Chemistry to be their most feared subject saw Chemistry becoming their favourite one instead. Mr. William’s students not only regard him as a tutor but as a mentor and a source of inspiration.

Mr. Leong Chun Kiat (Head of Chemistry)

With more than 7 years of tutoring experience under his belt, Mr. Leong has much to share with his students. Understanding that many students may not use Chemistry in their future, he constantly ponders about how he can value add to his students as a partner in education. As the saying goes “give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime”. One of Mr. Leong’s guiding teaching principles is to teach students how to learn. Undoubtedly, learning is now a necessary life skill. Not just only knowledge, Mr. Leong aims to demonstrate how the vital skillsets in Chemistry (such as comparison, inference, critical thinking, problem solving, analysis) can be applied to their future education, training students to be independent lifelong learners.

Mr. Leong’s lessons are often touted by students to be fast paced yet clear and concise. From the likes of common careless mistakes students make (so you will not make them) to tips and tricks up his sleeves to maximise score in exams, students will always exit the classroom feeling that they have absorbed knowledge that they did not pick up in school. Why not give yourself (or your child) a chance to experience a different kind of learning today?
