About Me

I grew up in Hong Kong struggling with English and rote memorisation — the kind of learning where you pass the test but forget the concept by lunch. That frustration followed me into the classroom. Now, over a decade into teaching Biology in Singapore secondary schools, I still see the same thing happen to my students: they can recite a definition but can't picture what's actually happening inside a cell.


CurioMinds.inc is what I wish I'd had — science simulations you can open mid-lesson, no login, no setup, aligned to the MOE syllabus but curious enough to go past it. Free for every student, because understanding shouldn't have a paywall. Where concepts click.

What I Do

🔬
Inquiry-Based Science Teaching
Designing lessons that encourage students to ask questions, investigate ideas, and connect concepts to everyday life.
💻
Interactive Digital Simulations
Building engaging, visual, and interactive web tools that make abstract science concepts accessible and enjoyable.
🏆
Science Talent Development
Mentoring students for national competitions like the National Science Challenge, nurturing curiosity and innovation.
🌱
Holistic Student Growth
Building positive classroom cultures centred on respect, resilience, and student ownership of learning.

Teaching Philosophy

I don't think a student is "behind" because they can't recite a definition. I think the definition was taught wrong. Give a student the right visual, the right question, the right moment to poke at an idea themselves, and understanding shows up on its own — no cramming required.

That's why my lessons lean on inquiry over instruction: simulations they can manipulate, questions they have to chase down themselves, real-world hooks instead of textbook diagrams. Technology isn't a gimmick here — it's how you make an invisible process (a cell dividing, a current flowing) something a 14-year-old can actually see.

None of that works in a classroom where students are afraid to be wrong. So I build for the opposite — a room where a bad guess is just data, where curiosity outranks correctness, and where students own their own learning instead of waiting to be told what to think.

The goal was never just better grades. It's students who stay curious after the bell rings — who question things, think clearly, and actually enjoy figuring the world out. CurioMinds.inc is that same goal, just built for students I'll never meet in person.
