Building a Talented Academic Team

We're constantly seeking to attract the next generation of dynamic and passionate educators. At IvyPrep, you will work with graduates from local and top-tier overseas universities who share your same passion in teaching and academic pursuits. In the challenging process of bringing out the best in each student, we find the best brought out in us as well.

At IvyPrep, we believe that there is no magic and there are no substitutes for hard work. Tips and tricks will never replace real content knowledge. As such, the courses we teach here are built around a content-heavy curriculum, with professional insights and analysis to bridge the gap between Singapore's curriculum and the intellectual rigour expected at the Ivy League universities and at other world-renowned institutions of higher learning.

As a curriculum designer, you propose the academic content and the teaching method appropriate for each course, but ultimately each teacher decides how to teach particular problems based on his or her own experience and beliefs about what is most effective. By engaging students in our curriculum uniquely designed for the dreamers and high-achievers, we work to produce a generation of students well poised to take on the world.
